The Weekend Links: Saturday Edition

A new way to experience the Solar System, for the musically inclined. Each planet represents a note that plays once crossing a threshold. The rotation of the planets are accurately scaled, and yes, despite it no longer being a planet, Pluto is still in there. It's a beautiful musical treat!

Awesome Artwork Made With Sharpies

The problem with fighting games? All the fighting. Watch Mortal Kombat with mediation.
*
I don't find most rings very comfortable, but I would wear just about any and all of these 18 uniquely nerdy designs.
*
Saving your petty change doesn't have to be boring or tedious - as piggy banks have evolved, they've gotten increasingly entertaining (and less likely to require smashing for access!) Does anyone still have a piggy bank? (or encourage their kids to?)

I'm becoming a big fan of Nerve's James Brady Ryan's "Pop Torture" column - this week he tackles another punishing challenge: The Sandra Lee Dinner Party, inspired by "Anthony Bourdain recently describing Food Network star Sandra Lee's 'Kwanzaa Cake' as 'a war crime on television.'"

Flossy reader RJ shares an interesting link about getting "a head" in the art world with Sophie Cave's Floating Heads.
*
Not every rainbow ends at a pot of gold. (This one's close, though.)
*
Ignore the sort of irritatingly placed ads and feast your eyes on the Trogon - no, "not an alien out of Star Trek or Doctor Who," it's a family of birds who are arrestingly beautiful.
*
From links-finder extraordinaire Jan, the "Is your job as rough as the Arctic?" or Life North of the Arctic Circle (Long, but interesting).
 *
I'm annoyed it's been raining so much lately and that it's gotten cold again, harrumph! But before you tell me to "cheer up" consider: apparently feeling grumpy is good for you!
*
And finally, some unintentionally hilarious commercials for completely useless products (I guess I should put a warning on here for suggestive material, even though they are infomercials ... but still!)
