Can you recognize these anticipated movies of 2015 from just a simple icon? (Hint: the numbers represent sequels.) See my answers in the comments section below. I couldn't find the answer to row 6, image 4 (the orange one with the suitcase). I know it's a sequel since it has the number 2, but I have no idea what it could be. Any guesses? Via Sploid....

Korean artist Na Young Wu has recently unveiled a series of illustrations which combines well-known western fairy tales with the Korean manhwa (the equivalent of manga in Korean) as well as the traditional Korean drawing style! They’re quite stunning, to say the least.
The Princess and the Frog:
The Little Mermaid:

René Magritte:

Disney Interactive and Code.org has teamed up to inspire future computer programmers — especially girls — to learn some basic coding skills in a fun, visual way. Head on over to the Frozen Hour of Code to help Anna and Elsa create shapes and patterns on ice using simplified blocks of code that snap together.
No prior coding experience is necessary, because you start off by drawing simple lines, with short video tutorials between each subject. (Pop quiz: which “dinosaur” makes an appearance to explain functions? 😉 ) But you’ll soon be creating shapes like this:
To appeal to the social-media loving crowd, the game even lets you share your creations with your friends. Each generated URL leads the visitor to a unique page where people can see your code in action. (See an example here.)
Give it a try! I’m sure any Frozen-loving child — heck, adults too! — interested in computers would love the tutorial.

Head on over to The Unbalanced Design of Super Smash Brothers, written by Forrest Smith, to read and pore over various data, charts, and research dissecting the game and its characters, how the game has changed over time, and how the players’ perception of balance has shifted through the years.
In other words, some very nerdy stuff.

I love these LEGO creations by Flickr user SuckMyBrick. Can you guess the pop culture icon depicted in each sculpture? (Highlight just below the photo to see the answer.)
