Look closely, this colourful chair is made entirely out of rubber bands - 65,000 rubber bands to be precise. It’s the work of Cleveland-based industrial designer Preston Moeller.

Inspired by a friend who suggested that he should use office supplies to make something ‘truly unique’, Moeller spent over $200 and 336 hours to create his one-of-a-kind chair.

“It almost looks like a fun toy that has been enlarged to a human scale where the user is sitting in a giant toy,” said Moeller. “But though it may look like it is all for fun it also happens to be very comfortable. The back is made from rubber bands weaved within themselves to create a springy sitting area that softly holds the user.”

If a kid realizes how much you love your job, there’s nothing better you can convey to a child.

In her SXSW keynote, the inimitable Tina “Swiss Miss” Roth Eisenberg is a living testament to avoiding “work” by finding your purpose and doing what you love.

Today is 3.14, which, besides being Pi day, is also Albert Einstein’s birthday. The iconic German theoretical physicist would’ve been 131 today, so we’re celebrating with Albert Einstein: How I See The World — a fantastic 2006 PBS documentary exploring his life, work and legacy, now free online in six parts. From his audacious scientific exploits to his notorious personal quirks to his controversial political convictions, the film is an essential piece of cultural history and a rare look at one of humanity’s greatest minds.

Instructables user brooklynbrownie created this awesome Pi Day centerpiece made of miniature pies called “Pies Are Round? No, Pi(es) Are Squared!

“In honor of Pi day, I wanted to create a fun pi (and pie) centerpiece for sharing with a crowd. What you see before you are 101 mini pies adorned with pi to 100 decimal points, arranged in a giant square with circle in the middle and a pi symbol in the center. Circles, squares, and pi(e)s, oh my! The beauty of this project is that you can do it the hard way with homemade crust and filling (how I did it) or you can cut yourself some slack and use pre-made pie crust and pre-made filling or pudding and still get a great result. It’s easy to create a show stopping focal point for your Pi Day festivities that will be appreciated by math and pie lovers alike.”
