{ 2022: The Age of Artificial Clouds }

The Year: 2022. The Place: Qatar. The Idea: Artificial Clouds. That's right, scientists are working around the clock to make sure that Qatar, trust me I hadn't heard of this country either, will be cool enough during the summer months for the 2022 World Cup. Originally rumored the games would have to take place during winter, which is a whole nother tangent, the game officials are considering moving them back to the ridiculously hot summer months if these half a million (each) man-made clouds become a reality. I don't know about all this... part of me loves that the technology is there, the other part is worried... I mean haven't we F'ed with mother nature enough? But I think we can all agree that if the games had just been in South America this would have been tons easier. Either way Diller + Scofidio should eat their hearts out!  {via}

I haven't seen one of these in forever! and what a better time than during this 3rd place match for the World Cup! Enjoy, Will It Blend!, a fave of mine. Here we see if those awesome vuvuzelas will blend.... I have a hunch they will.

{ World Cup Update + crocheting }

So the first game was a lil' sloppy and slow, but all and all a good showing from two pretty solid teams, Mexico and South Africa. Unfortunately it was just a draw (1 to 1), but I have found world cup time to be crocheting time too, atleast for the teams I'm not praying for (GOOOOOO ARGENTINA!). But the point of this post is to shout out to Kat for this INCREDIBLE website for knitters and crocheters, raverly. It's super cute and has TONs of good patterns and advice, for freez of course. Check it out if you are crafty!
