• The world's most super-designed data center – fit for a James Bond villain - This underground data center has greenhouses, waterfalls, German submarine engines, simulated daylight and can withstand a hit from a hydrogen bomb. A newly opened high-security data center run by one of Sweden’s largest ISPs, located in an old nuclear bunker deep below the bedrock of Stockholm city, sealed off from the world by entrance doors 40 cm thick (almost 16 inches).
• Amazing Home.. - I LOVE this house. LOVE it. I love the sheer wilderness. The Views. The stark simplicity.

Primatology.net, a new favorite site of mine, has this fantastic article on this Orangutan from Borneo.  This Orangutan is special because he’s using a tool.  Not just any tool though.  We’ve seen primates use tools before.  But this Orangutan is SPEAR-FISHING.

Gurd Schuster is the researcher that took this photo.  He did mention that while this orangutan learnt this method from watching fishermen along the river, he hasn’t fully mastered the skill yet.

“Although the method required too much skill for him to master, he was later able to improvise by using the pole to catch fish already trapped in the locals’ fishing lines”

I, for one, welcome our Spear-Fishing Orangutan Overlords.

• 10 Most Incredible Waterfalls of Ice - There really isn't much else like a frozen waterfall. Just odd and wonderful at the same time.

Waterfall in Banff, Canada.

Generally you think of caves as places for bears to sleep, bats to poop and Balrogs to slumber.  While this certainly is the case the majority of the time, there is also incredible beauty to be found.

Since it’s generally pretty dark underground (I know, go figure), you have to light up the place pretty well to see the beauty, but when you combine caves, water and good lighting….. beauty happens.

Environmental Graffiti has collected 10 great pictures from 10 great underground rivers and lakes, well worth checking out.
