Photo of the Day: Simple Crossing

Our Photo of the Day series this week shares photos from photographer Randy Mu.

The photo was taken with the simplest idea in mind. Pedestrian crossing, afternoon vibes, clean looks. After the goals were set for the shot, my friend and I waited half an hour to capture the perfect moment.

Yiwei Mu, who goes by Randy most of the time, is born and raised in China. He is now working as a UX designer in Beijing. Photography is one of his favorite hobbies:

It takes me from place to place, and I really enjoy exploring new sites and meeting new people through photos.

13-Year-Old Rubik’s Cube Prodigy Uses His Feet to Solve Three Cubes at Once

Que Jianyu is a 13-year-old Rubik’s Cube master from Xiamen. We’re big fans. So you can imagine the thrill we experienced when we saw that Que has returned. This time, he’s attempting to break new world records, solving three Rubik’s Cubes simultaneously. With the help of his feet.

Well, he did it. We’re amazed at how something like that is possible, but we also share the sentiment expressed by one YouTube commenter: “Weird flex, but ok.”

But for Que Jianyu and his Rubik’s Cubes, one impossible feet (haha) wasn’t enough. He went straight for the athletic bar, breaking the record for fastest Rubik’s Cube solved upside down. Actually, this one seems pretty similar to a normal Rubik’s Cube solve. But it’s still better than we could do. Que admitted that he would need to strengthen his legs if he wanted to keep doing this kind of thing.

Sure, but maybe it’s time a responsible adult took him to one side and encouraged him not to keep doing this kind of thing? We’re not really sure where this goes long-term.

Photo of the Day: Above Chongqing

Our Photo of the Day series this week shares photos from photographer Randy Mu.

I shot this one on the plane to Chongqing. The view is so different from what we see on land. The muddy river and crowded city had makes this shot stand out. I specifically reserved a window seat before the flight, because who knows what I might see while I’m up in the air? I’m glad that I did that.

Chinese Sci-Fi Author Liu Cixin Honored at Arthur C. Clarke Awards

Chinese sci-fi superstar Liu Cixin, whom the New Yorker once called “China’s Arthur C. Clarke,” has now picked up a new accolade at the annual award ceremony sponsored by the estate of the late British great. Clarke, the 2001: A Space Odyssey author who passed away in 2008, endowed an annual award for “science fiction literature” in 1987, with the first year’s prize going to Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Over the years, several additional categories have been added, including a Lifetime Achievement award (last year’s went to Stephen Hawking) and an award for Imagination in Service to Society.

This year’s top prize went to Anne Charnock’s Dreams Before the Start of Time, but Liu was honored with a plaque for Imagination in Service to Society, a category that was added to the Clarke Foundation’s program in 2012.
