Word of the Day
Cupidity (n., kyew-PID-ih-tee)
Desire gone amok, especially for money. Excess materialism, money-grubbing covetousness, and monetary insatiability. Can you see why we didn't use that word yesterday?

Aliaksei Zholner's paper organ
This is crazy cool. Aliaksei Zholner made a working organ entirely out of paper (and a balloon). Have a listen:
The organ has 18 keys (all tuned; seriously, this is nuts) that play notes on the reeds. Also, Zholnar says that this is too hard to produce. If a man can make something this intricate and cool but says it's too hard? It's waaaay too hard. What an instrument.
