Just look at this cute little happy myosin protein drag this ball of endorphins into the parietal cortex to produce a little happiness. My inner neuroscience geek: Squee!!

(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkWy8nRWPGk) I want to be your abacus, baby. You can count on me.
You.
Don’t forget that you are made entirely of awesome. Yes. You.
I have not seen "The Red Balloon" from which this gif comes from - but the gif is awesomesauce.
From the video description:
Full Moon Silhouettes is a real time video of the moon rising over the Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand. People had gathered up there this night to get the best view possible of the moon rising. I captured the video from 2.1km away on the other side of the city. It's something that I've been wanting to photograph for a long time now, and a lot of planning and failed attempts had taken place. Finally, during moon rise on the 28th January 2013, everything fell into place and I got my footage.
The video is as it came off the memory card and there has been no manipulation whatsoever. Technically it was quite a challenge to get the final result. I shot it on a Canon ID MkIV in video mode with a Canon EF 500mm f/4L and a Canon 2x extender II, giving me the equivalent focal length of 1300mm.

Pete Fecteau Dreams Big: MLK mural made from Rubik's Cubes

From Pete Fecteau's page:
"The mosaic is made of 4,242 officially licensed Rubik’s Cubes. It measures 19′ x 8’6″ x 2.25″ (5.8m x 2.6m x 5.7cm ). It weighs roughly 1000 pounds (454kg). Each cube has been “reversed solved” or twisted so that one of the faces maps it’s nine stickers into the total image, 38,178 stickers total. The construction process took a little over 40 hours and the final installation to about five and a half hours with 6 volunteers helping. The cubes were rented through the You Can Do The Cube organization. The mosaic was on display during the 2010 ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan USA from September 22nd to October 10th. There were roughly 30,000 people who came to view the mosaic during that time. “Dream Big” placed in the top 50 out of 1,700+ entries. The mosaic was left intact for a month after the competition in an attempt to sell it. The pending sale did not materialize and the mosaic was disassembled in late November and the cubes were shipped back to their originating points." Pete - this is just fabu! Way to be awesome.
I tried for two hours to find the original source with no success - if you trip across it, please let me know! Now, who wants to make me one??

From the Department of Awesome Natural Wonders come these mysterious patterns on the ocean floor off the southern coast of Japan. Japanese scuba diver and photographer Yoji Ookata, who has spent the last 50 years exploring and documenting his underwater discoveries off the coast of Japan, spotted these beautiful and puzzling patterns in the sand, nearly six feet in diameter and 80 feet below sea level, during a dive near Amami Oshima at the southern tip of the country.
So what happened next? Are these rippling geometric patterns the equivalent of crop circles on the seafloor? Not quite, but the answer is still a good one. Colossal explains:
“He soon returned with colleagues and a television crew from the nature program NHK to document the origins what he dubbed the “mystery circle.”
Using underwater cameras the team discovered the artist is a small puffer fish only a few inches in length that swims tirelessly through the day and night to create these vast organic sculptures using the gesture of a single fin. Through careful observation the team found the circles serve a variety of crucial ecological functions, the most important of which is to attract mates. Apparently the female fish are attracted to the hills and valleys within the sand and traverse them carefully to discover the male fish where the pair eventually lay eggs at the circle’s center, the grooves later acting as a natural buffer to ocean currents that protect the delicate offspring. Scientists also learned that the more ridges contained within the sculpture resulted in a much greater likelihood of the fish pairing. To learn more about the circles check out the full scoop over on Spoon and Tamago, and you can see two high resolution desktop photos courtesy of NHK here.”
Busy little pufferfish boys wooing potential mates by sculpting the sand with their bodies. As far as we’re concerned, that’s pretty awesome!

Little Free Library
This little slice of awesomesauce is here in my hometown. Located in front of Liesel Carlson's home in East Lansing, MI, this mini-free library will quickly become one of my favorite places in town. Cutie-patootie neighborhood book exchange - groovy.

In great clouds they gather, starlings in murmuration, shifting and drifting like waves of smoke above the heather, hovering over water, rolling across the skies, while witnesses smile in breathless wonder.

Awesome Submissions
After starting this blog yesterday I invited friends to submit ideas or posts for publication, and a few people quickly responded. Their entries for submission have now been posted. Another friend asked if I knew this guy's story, in which Niall Iain MacDonald describes his extraordinary fight back against depression. I hadn't. I'm glad I do now. Here is a photo essay as well.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Awesome.

Guess Who
Karen Kavett's Doctor Who project should be celebrated fo it's simplicity of design and generally cheeky/retro flavor. Plus it's very cool.

Submitted by Matthew: Autumn is my favorite time of year, and it's rapidly approaching. I like to think about the things that make it awesome for me. The changing of colors in the leaves, and watching them fall. The scent of cinnamon. Apple cider. The cooling of the air, and the changing of fashions. So, if it's YOUR favorite time of year, take it in slowly, and find what makes it awesome for you.
