In a secluded woodland near Toronto, Canada, there is a hidden cabin that "disappears" into the trees because it's fully clad in mirrors (technically, mirrored steel). The exact location is a secret, and will only be shared with guests once they've booked a reservation to stay at the cabin.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics are over for the elite athletes, but not the everyday Olympics for the people of Tokyo!
Artist Adrian Hogan, who lives in Tokyo, noticed a lot of similarities between what the athletes did to perform in their respective sports and what everyday people in Japan did in their daily lives.
"I saw a shop clerk recently who threw open their store shutters and it reminded me of a weightlifter throwing their barbell into the air," Hogan wrote on Instagram, and that inspired him to draw a series of wonderful Olympics-inspired drawings.

This is not an old timey cabin in the woods! LUMIPOD is a small pre-fab circular cabin with curved glass windows that extend from the floor to the ceiling. The windows open almost all the way to expose the interior space to the outdoors. What a gorgeous cabin!

I'm excited to announce our new sites: Pictojam and the re-born Homes & Hues.
Picto is focused on science, engineering, and tech stories (with a lot of fun stuff sprinkled in). H&H is geared towards home design and decor as well as the stuff you'd need for your house like home electronics and kitchen gadgets. These two are the first in a series of new niche content sites we'll be launching.
The Picto sites are built on a new platform, so things work a bit differently there (helloooo infinite scroll!) I hope you like the short video clip thumbnails on the grid - that's one of my favorite things about the new sites.
We'll continue to build the platform's capabilities as we fill the sites with new stories for you to read. In the meantime, I'd appreciate it if you'd tell your friends about Pictojam and Homes & Hues :)

British Antarctic Survey scientist Huw Griffiths explained how a team of geologists drilling through the ice to collect sediment samples found something quite unexpected half a mile under the Antarctic ice shelf:
“We were expecting to retrieve a sediment core from under the ice shelf, so it came as a bit of a surprise when we hit the boulder and saw from the video footage that there were animals living on it.”
These uncertain times call for a new brand of communication, filled with pithy slogans and banal platitudes. Behold Uncertain Times New Roman, a new font designed by Matt Hudgins, Josh Crandall and others at Cornett ad agency.

Meet Dr. Corona Rintawan, who explained his unusual first name in this Arab News article:
Asked about his name, the doctor said his parents would name their children in alphabetical order. Being the third, his name had to start with “c.”
“There was no such thing as baby name books at that time, so they decided to take my name from the Toyota Corona car, which was a popular model back in the 1970s, and as they also found that it means a crown, which symbolizes something good,” he said.
