Today someone mentioned on Facebook that Intel.com website is very well organized and is quite useful. Being a fan of useful things, I immediately went to check it out. And I have to say that I am mighty impressed! Not only it is very organized, providing quick access to information, but it looks really good as well. Such a combination is rare these days, but it is particularly rare for a large corporation’s website.
Wikipedia lists some of the most famous operations performed by Robert Liston. Among them the only surgery in history with 300% mortality rate:
Liston’s most famous case
Amputated the leg in under 21⁄2 minutes (the patient died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene, they usually did in those pre-Listerian days). He amputated in addition the fingers of his young assistant (who died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene, they usually did in those pre-Listerian days). He also slashed through the coat tails of a distinguished surgical spectator, who was so terrified that the knife had pierced his vitals he dropped dead from fright.
That was the only operation in history with a 300 percent mortality.

That’s a team of at least 3 people – photographer, model, and a make-up artist (not counting the person making the video). It’s not just a a single shot, but multiple takes, even with all the post-production editing. It’s not just a cool idea, but hours and hours of work. And that’s not even counting all the effort that went into the learning curve. But, when you factor all that in and add a little luck, what you get is this.
Great work, Marios!
Habrahabr.ru runs an excellent post (in Russian, but with lots of pictures), showcasing some really cool designer QR codes. I’ve tried scanning them with my Android mobile and not all of them worked, but quite a few did. Like this one, for example.
Via Geeks are sexy I came across this awesome infographic that visualizes the Pulp Fiction movie in chronological order. Brilliant, to say the least!
