We are usually bombarded by photos with optical illusions, and the "freerunners" Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns played with them in their interesting video, where they defy gravity and perform tricks that seem to defy all logic. The world turned upside down. Literally!

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
There are grandfathers, and then there are Grandfathers, which includes Günther Anton Krabbenhöft, a 104-year-old gentleman who has more style than you and knows that fashion is not reserved for the young and that age is just a number. The German says that the Internet has doubled the number of crosses he carries on his back, but the truth probably lies somewhere in between. Anyway, his recent "photoshooting" in Berlin at the Kotbusser Tor train station is proof that some fashion is eternal, even if it changes practically from month to month.
This year's TEDxLjubljana is still up in the air. But no, because now the traditional autumn event on November 8 would be in question, but because even before that, the team behind the organization of the event is preparing a very special surprise. In Slovenia, we will witness the first TEDx event on a plane, which will take place when it is in flight! The so-called TEDxLjubljana in the air will take place on September 24, 2015, and the speakers' ideas will fly from Jože Pučnik Airport on an Adria Airways plane.
Modularity is one of those features that a large part of modern furniture possesses. Just like telephones (which, among other things, are already modular), furniture elements have become more (multi)practical. The Float modular chairs from the Perch design studio can also boast of their versatility (to be assembled and disassembled), which are ideal for 21st century business premises, as well as for the home environment.
You've probably all heard of pyrography. If you haven't heard it, you've certainly seen it in practice. Namely, it is wood (can also be leather or cork) decorated with burnt patterns, which today are mostly created with the help of a device similar to a soldering iron (with a hard tip or a tip made of wire). Febo, on the other hand, returns to nature and instead of electricity (which heats the tip of the tool) uses a magnifying glass and the sun's rays, which make it possible to draw with the sun.
Jeampiere Dinamarca Poque is one of those artists whose works leave us with our jaws on the floor. How else can we describe our feelings when we look at his shocking body paintings, which create terrifying and almost too realistic optical illusions of tearing the body, cutting it in half and escaping from one's own skin. Shocking? Bizarre? Tasteless? Fantastic? Brutal? Morbid? Of course, it also offers us some that are for those with a more sensitive stomach.
Men, if you're looking for a hairstyle that will totally rock you, the only real choice is the fade haircut, as this is currently considered the coolest haircut for men. Open a magazine, turn on the TV, the fade is everywhere. A hairstyle where the hair from the top of the head down is always shorter and which was popular among African-Americans at the end of the last century. Just remember the Fresh Prince. But this does not mean that all such hairstyles are like this, far from it. The fade is actually different on each head, and it all depends on how quickly the long hair changes to short or vice versa and what happens to it on the scalp. We present to you six of the most popular types of such hairstyles.
Do you always feel relaxed in a Chinese restaurant? The "inaudible" ambient music that plays in the background, which imperceptibly soothes you, has many fingers in between. The A Soft Murmur website also does something similar in situations where you just can't get your act together. Namely, it offers a "mixing table" of ambient sounds with which you can recreate characteristic sounds from the environment - the sound of the sea, blowing wind, bees in a cafe, crackling fire, birdsong, white noise,... that help you stay focused.
Remember when "video killed the radio star" in the 1980s? Neither do we! Remember when books were replaced by e-books? Neither do we! Well, remember when smartwatches replaced classic wristwatches? Neither do we! Many people may think that wristwatches are no longer necessary these days. At first they were threatened by mobile phones, now smart watches count their last days. Or is it? Wristwatches are forever. They are eternal because, unlike smart watches, they will never run out of time. Because while two years from now, the current model of the Apple Watch will just be an outdated piece of technology lying in a drawer, a quality wristwatch will still be adorning the wrist. Especially if you happen to own one of the following 13 sickeningly good classic watches under $5,000.
While the BlackBerry brand is slowly but steadily sinking like Venice, it is trying to save itself with the BlackBerry Venice smartphone, which is the first BlackBerry that does not have its own operating system but Google's Android OS, and the special feature is a sinking case that hides the physical keyboard. Is classic looks and Android the combination that will save this sinking Canadian company?
We use socks every day, all day (okay, except in the summer when it's really hot), so their quality is important. But no knee-high (except knee-high) toe socks from Free Your Feet (FYF) by the Swiss Barefoot Company, which has made bulletproof and practically indestructible toe socks from a material stronger than Kevlar! You can get socks that are more durable than shoes on Kickstarter.
Waves. The eternal variable for surfers on the water. One time they are too big, the second time they are too small, the third time they are not there. We recently wrote about the surfer paradise Snowdinia, a reservoir lake with artificial waves that carry surfers up to 150 meters and remove many variables from the equation. What if we told you that you can now take the waves out of the equation? That you can also surf on the Slovenian coast, whether there are waves or not? This is what the Onean electric surfboard offers, which is ideal for all those who don't have the patience to wait for the right wave and would like to glide across the surface of the water wherever and whenever they want.
