The name Alex KozinÂsÂki probÂaÂbly won’t mean much to many of you. But if you’re a lawyer, or a Supreme Court watchÂer, you’ll know that he’s the Chief Judge of the UnitÂed States Court of Appeals for the Ninth CirÂcuit (a realÂly presÂtiÂgious posiÂtion). Rather recentÂly, he’s been assoÂciÂatÂed with a highÂly visÂiÂble pornogÂraÂphy scanÂdal relatÂed to one of his casÂes, and now this. A video docÂuÂmentÂing his appearÂance long ago on The DatÂing Game, a wonÂderÂful piece of AmerÂiÂcana. And the best part is that he beat SquigÂgy from the othÂer slice of AmerÂiÂcana, LavÂerne & Shirley. Oh, the endÂless wealth of YouTube:

(And, no, I’m not sure if this is techÂniÂcalÂly a tsunaÂmi.)
A Year in Antarctica Boiled Down to Six Minutes

Architecture in Motion
When comÂpletÂed in Dubai, this “dynamÂic buildÂing” designed by David FishÂer will be in conÂstant motion, always changÂing its shape, and also genÂerÂate its own elecÂtric enerÂgy.
