Coffee Break

Coffee Grounds Turned Decorative Pots – This is a pretty cool concept. Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed on Kickstarter. I would have chipped in…

Breathtaking Eruption Of Plosky Tolbachik Volcano – This site offers a pretty cool 360° panoramic view of the eruption of a volcano east of Russia on the Kamchatka peninsula. The volcano erupted on November 27, 2012, and spewed lava for several months. There are some extremely beautiful shots displayed here.

10 Facial Reconstructions Of Famous Historical Figures – Ever wonder just what someone from distant history really looked like? Wonder no more, because the technology is here, and has been used to reconstruct several faces from the past. While some of these look real, others look like they should be in a wax museum, or even on a video game, such as Cleopatra’s sister. Has anyone even ever heard of her before?

Prisoners Of Technology – “In a cool campaign for Go Outside magazine Felipe Luci shows us in a striking way that we are sometimes prisoners of technology.” Very creative approach to how we are attached to our gadgets.

More Than Half Of Humanity Lives Within This Circle – Although I think I already knew this, at least on some level, this map reinforces the need for missions, and shows where we might need to target.

Five Lies Sin Tells Me – Sin is sneaky. It infiltrates our lives and then helps us justify it. We need to be aware of its subtle influences, and the lies it leads us to believe.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who did most for the next. – C. S. Lewis
