Fix Your Computer Hunch and Other Posture Problems in 30 Seconds
This one exercise can greatly improve your mobility and flexibility—and cure the many ills that come from sitting hunched in front of a screen all day. It takes just 30 seconds and you don’t need any equipment.
Max Shank teaches us how to do this move, called the Thoracic Bridge. It basically opens up your body and can help with pain and tightness in your shoulders, back, and hips. It looks a little weird to do, but when you get the hang of it, you should automatically feel the difference in your body’s alignment and posture. (Also, you don’t have to be as crazy acrobatic as Max in switching sides.)
There are lots of easy stretches you can do to correct your hunching and get all the benefits of better posture, but if you’re only going to do one thing, the Thoracic Bridge move is arguably the best one since it corrects so many issues in half a minute.

I want to dip everything in this magic hydrocoating water paint
Everything I own, everything I will buy, every fiber of my body, everything in this world should be dipped into water paint. The hydrocoating process is popular in weapons and helmets but really deserves to be shmeared all over the world. We might have to come up with better designs but I never want to use a paint brush to paint again.

Photographing an African safari
Boston Globe Staff photographer Essdras M Suarez experienced a two week safari in Kenya and Tanzania this year. Here is a selection of what he captured and thoughts upon his return:
As a photojournalist, youre always looking to capture moments that define life. In the wild, youre witnessing life or death situations, and its a truly humbling experience. Were used to living in a world where we humans are top predators and life is extremely safe. When you find yourself in an environment where youre no longer the top predator, it puts things in perspective to see how and where we fall within the food chain. I never thought Id be excited photographing nature, but I found myself completely entranced by the whole experience and I cant wait to do it again. ( 27 photos total)

A Brief History of Airspace Design
Think Los Angeles at rush hour is bad? Try doing it half-blindfolded with nothing but a radio and a few blinking lights to show you the way. That’s how pilots navigate the invisible highways in the sky, and there’s a beautiful design that makes it all work. It only took about a hundred years to come up with it.
