Shoes: Speaking of legos, Armo has come up with a component shoe you can assemble, click and snap together yourself.

Soccer balls: And speaking of making, this is how soccer balls are made. I still don’t understand how they close them. I would pay to see a detailed industrial video of the process start to finish.

Humor:

• The continuing Obama debate: is he a muslin or a satinist?
• How to gift wrap a cat.
• Unintentionally funny: 10 Rules for Choosing between Industry and Academia.

• Crayola’s Law. The number of colors doubles every 28 years.
• So you think you are an expert with a tape measure? These guys are better.
