We are all well aware of James' marriage proposal to Uschi Lang in front of the Apple store in Manhattan hours before it opened. The romantic move was part of a time lapse video that Apple set up to capture every moment leading to the store's opening.

But really, what is a proposal compared to a heart stopping, adrenaline pumping, race of garden snails? Windell, over at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, took advantage of a Gawker to give us a 30 second clip of these snails in action. Gawker is an application for Mac OS X that creates time-lapse movies using a webcam. Images from your camera can be shared, allowing other users to record your image stream. Streams can also be combined to create a time-lapse movie with up to four locations side-by-side.

The garden snails race is just for appetizers. We have now arrived to the main course. Focaccia is a flat bread topped with spices and other products, which is related to modern pizza. The ingredients are irrelevant, what's more important is how does it come from being flat to being a scrumptious delight. Here's how.

Now all I'm waiting for is a time lapse from Jonathan 'Wolf' Rentzsch, from his MacBook inside the fridge to find out if the light really does turn off.
