The Paper Airplane That’s Not What You’re Thinking

I originally came across this post from a Mashable tweet and knew I had to save it and come back to it later to check it out in more detail. Luca Iaconi-Stewart is a UX Designer that was first inspired to work on this paper airline back in high school architecture class. They would use manilla folders as a basis for creating their design modules based on their availability and affordability. He decided to challenge himself to build an airplane using the materials due to its unique shape and structural demands. When you start seeing what he's crafted with this material, you are going to be impressed by his "art" combination with "science" to create this masterpiece!

Uncover the Internet Returns to the Web!

I can't remember exactly when it started, but somewhere around August 1st of 2005 I started writing for a blog that was part of the b5media network at the time. It was one of a few different sites I ended up writing for regularly and it was called the "Uncover the Internet", we found some interesting stuff over the years. The purpose of the site was to just find and share interesting websites that we found around the web with our readers and hopefully provide something to them that filled a gap that needed to be filled. It may have been a resourceful site, an encouraging site, something educational, something amazing that you had to see for yourself.

After finding some helpful websites again recently for myself, I've decided to bring back the effort of Uncover the Internet. I've decided to add some options like "tools", or software, or even places or services in the real world that you should take advantage of and there's a website for you to introduce yourself to that thing or place. I'm also a sucker for "live" talent shows like "America's Got Talent", "The Voice" and "American Idol" (which was another blog I used to write for on the network called "IdolStalker.com")

So, to open the relaunch of the effort, my first item I'm sharing is a video performance of Avery Dixon, a young saxophonist that won a golden buzzer on this year's auditions for "America's Got Talent".

What did you think about Avery's performance? Let us know in the comments. Was it worthy of restarting the Uncover the Internet effort? I'd really love to get some conversation started again around the blog as much as possible. Do you have something interesting you've found online that you'd like to share? If you've got something, feel free to use my contact form to let me know about it and I'll see about featuring it on one of my posts.
