Darvaza, the Apocalysis Gas Crater
Located at Turkmenistan desert, Darvaza flaming crater is one of the most apocalyptic landscapes in the world. Its 60 meters in diameter and 20 meters depth have not been caused by volcanic activity or a meteorite impact. This crater was created sometime in the 50's when the Soviets were prospecting for natural gas in this area and it's been burning since then.

Jott
Jott is unbelievably cool. I’m amazed Google has not bought this one. I only wish I were organized to start really using it, but I do find it useful from time to time when I am driving and think of something or remember something I forgot to add to a calendar or list somewhere.

Robots fly into Antarctic skies
A pair of lightweight, robotic planes have made the first unmanned flights over Antarctica's icy expanses.
Driven by propeller, the machines made 20 low-altitude sorties, including four over the Weddell Sea.
The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were launched by catapult but flew autonomously until landing.
During some of the test flights the machines were fitted with miniaturised instruments to collect data for use in predictive climate models.

Zen and the art of piano-burning
Famed Japanese jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita has expressed his burning passion for music by setting his piano on fire.
At a sunset performance on at beach in Ishikawa Prefecture, western Japan, the 66-year-old Yamashita, wearing a firefighter's uniform, recently played an improvised jazz piece before about 500 spectators seated in a wide semicircle around him.
No sooner had he begun playing, the piano burst into performance for a full ten minutes before all the strings were burnt out or snapped and the piano went quiet.

Writer Arthur C. Clarke Dies at 90
Arthur C. Clarke, the award-winning sci-fi writer and futurist most famous for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, died Wednesday in Sri Lanka. He was 90.
His writing, both fiction and nonfiction, established Clarke as a visionary during the last half of the 20th century. In a paper titled "Extra-Terrestrial Relays: Can Rocket Stations Give Worldwide Radio Coverage?" published in 1945, Clarke floated the idea of using geosynchronous satellites for communications long before such technology changed our world.
