[Reviews of high energy caffeine drinks](http://kotaku.com/352207/pure-energy-a-critical-look-at-energy-drinks). Personally, I still stick with the [tried and true](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso) for my caffeine fix each morning.

[A great advert for Dutch store HEMA](http://producten.hema.nl/). Give it time to load – it’s coming, don’t worry.

[Yes](http://rodrik.typepad.com/dani_rodriks_weblog/2008/02/poor-and-happy.html). This is probably a good place to link to [John Quiggin’s explanation of what’s wrong with happiness measurement](http://crookedtimber.org/2007/02/22/whats-wrong-with-happiness-measurement/).

[The US Navy’s 5,640mph rail gun](http://gizmodo.com/351467/navy-rail-gun-test-destroys-everything-it-touches-at-5640-mph). I wish they could provide this kind of technology to the *Mythbusters*.

[Five tips for better sleep](http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/01/27/relax-like-a-pro-5-steps-to-hacking-your-sleep/). I am **not** trying the ice bath suggestion.

[Bollywood is thinking about making a version of *Ghostbusters*](http://io9.com/352923/bollywood-knows-exactly-who-theyre-gonna-call). There’s a line from *Aliens* that [comes to mind](http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Aliens).

[How to fold a towel cat](http://www.wikihow.com/Fold-a-Towel-Cat). Don’t expect to see these around our house – I’m not very good at origami…

[An IL76 tries to take off from Canberra airport](http://the-riotact.com/?p=6802). This has *got* to be safer than it looks. Because it looks like this plane takes off by the skin of its teeth.

[An obsessive treasure hunter and his ex-wife hunt for Spanish riches](http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/foolsgold/trailer1/). This looks like a very very silly film. Maybe sometime when I don’t want my brain on.

[A table, stool, wardrobe, bed and bookcase that fit into a small crate](http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/02/12/casulo-complete-furn.html). Watch the video – this is a very nice bit of design.
