Migraines explained

Thanks to MIND HACKS for providing a brief summary to the Scientific
American article that has been making the blogosphere rounds re: new
insights into the causes of migraines.

I used to suffer 10-12 of these a year and now am almost migraine
free. The article made sense to me as I used to explain my migraines
as being a major electrical storm in my head, that when done, gave me
a sense of calm...as if someone had hit a brain reset button and
shocked all my neurons back to a clean starting state.

Mowercycle

Yet another great gadget at NEATORAMA.

This MowerCycle was created by some DIY-genius out of an old bicycle and a broken lawnmower, we're saying "DIY-genius" because his identity remains unknown - and this cannot be found at online do-it-yourself stores or something. Of course the efficiency of this is questioned since we assume riding a bike on grass isn't the easiest thing to do, but the concept is brilliant!

Economics of love

Interesting (and fun) article on the economics of love in the NY Times.

Mosquitoes this year

This is sooooooo true this year, given the moist spring.

Book nook: IQ is reading...

Another book on politics, this time from conservative columnist George
Will. I like his mind and writing style and he is not an conservative
extremist like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Ann Coulter. This guy is
a conservative intellectual who has great insights on American history
and culture. I like the fact that each story only covers two or three
pages and are self-contained units. It makes it an easy book to pick
up at any time. I would recommend.

Book chair

From. BOING BOING.

This marvellous paperback chair is on display at Myopic Books in Providence Rhode Island (where the Rag and Bone blog's proprietor spotted it). It was made by artist David Karoff: "David Karoff welded the chair and attached the paperbacks: they have holes drilled though their insides and are slipped onto a hidden rebar frame. All of the materials are recycled - even the books, which are cast-offs from the Rochambeau Library Book Sales." ZOMG I wish this was for sale.Link(via Make)
