Who'd have thought that Heart – with John Bonham's son Jason on the drums – doing a cover of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors would result in such awesomeness? Check out the reaction of the guys as they watch the performance. Very cool.

Amazon's operation is the epitome of organized chaos:
Chaotic storage is like organized confusion. It’s an organic shelving system without permanent areas or sections. That means there is no area just for books, or a place just for televisions (like you might expect in a retail store layout). The product’s characteristics and attributes are irrelevant. What’s important is the unique barcode associated with every product that enters the warehouse…
In this storage system a wide variety of products can be found located next to each other. A necklace could be located beside a DVD and underneath a set of power tools. This arbitrary placement can even help with accuracy as it makes mix-ups less likely when picking orders for shipment.
Overall it’s a fascinating system that at its core is powered by a complex database yet run by a simple philosophy. It’s Chaotic Storage. There’s no better way to put it 🙂
