What a Week!
Mach the Week

Mach the Week
It was 50 years ago this week that Chuck Yeager flew through the sound barrier.

You gotta look at this
3D painting is used in sports to embed pop-up advertising in many European and antipodal venues, but here's a look at a Canadian street that gets a makeover.

Help a little, help a lot
Here's an interesting idea. Entrepreneurs in developing countries getting micro-loans from everyday people in North America. A little helps a lot.

Not for all the tea in China...
however little that may soon be. Asian youth are abandoning tea for coffee.

One photograph, 28 photographers
A photographer asked 28 others to process and manipulate a raw photo to show what they would do with it. The results were very interesting.

FUN FINAL NOTE

Absolutely insane.
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME. In 1976, a French driver mounted a camera on the front of his car and raced through Paris streets for seven and a half minutes. It's hypnotic to watch, especially as the streets get narrower. This real movie inspired both the real Cannonball Run and Gumball Rally.
