Food Buzz This changes everything. The good people at My Jello Americans have not only created a new way to eat Jello — they call it “Jellogami” — but they've recorded an instructional video so that we can make it ourselves. Not that my clumsy hands could ever create something so perfect…

Culture Buzz So we've all tried to fold a little football out of our lunch money. But Won Park's work puts our grade school origami to shame. Some of these pieces I appreciate for their beautiful craftmanship, others because they're just a tad geeky. If you want to see more, check out Park's DeviantArt gallery.
