There’s quite a lot of re-dubbed comedy in the world. Much of it I don’t care for that much. But this re-dubbing of the Polish soap opera ‘First Love’ to make it a story about Irish Folk made me laugh out loud. For all the details consult…
The Rise of the Idiots
Dan Ashcroft on Idiots (from the post-retro-ironic-futuristic Nathan Barley). “They use the word cool, it is their favourite word… Thinking is rubbish and rubbish isn’t cool… Stuff and shit is cool…” See the rest here. Still painfully…
Toy Hacking
I’m really excited about the upcoming Toy Hacking workshop. I’m all signed-up and ready to go, but still quite in the dark about what I’ll actually come away from it being able to do. In my fantasy vision I’ll become some kind of mad…
Octopussy in Udaipur
One of the many strange things we saw in India was the fact that you can watch Octopussy in almost every single bar, restaurant, guest-house or hotel in Udaipur. Every night. Seriously. Of course it’s because a big chunk of the film is set…
Lakai Fully Flared
Posts on graffiti and skateboarding. I’m so down with the kids I’m almost underneath them. But this trailer is stunning, it’s like the Black Hawk Down of skate vidz (and it’s got M83 as the soundtrack which would always make it a winner in
Shit Graffiti and Shit
Got home today to find this shit graffiti on the side of the house, as well as a small pile of dog shit just next to it to finish the perfect picture of urban decay. I wouldn’t have minded so much but the letter formation on this ‘tag’ is…
Page Not Found – You Moron
Sometimes when a website is broken it feels like the computer blames you. That’s a bad thing. It’s rarely your fault. I’d been joking about making a 404-page featuring Igor (our head of technology and sys-admin dude) telling off site…
The Little Haters
I really liked this piece about ‘The Little Haters’, the tiny voices in your head that try to persuade you not to to stuff. Outlines the killer combo of procrastination and perfectionism to a tee… Your browser does not support JavaScript…
Amazing Stop Motion Wall Painting
fantoche from blu on Vimeo. Wow. Odd it doesn’t have any sound. But just incredible anyway. Check out some of the other amazing things at their blog: http://www.blublu.org/blog/. Very inspiring and humbling in equal measure.
Stockhausen’s Helicopters
One of the things I’m trying to do differently this year (not a resolution as such) is to avoid reading the trashy free papers that come as part of the commuting package. I’m pretty sure their particular brand of reporting-lite has…
Indian Underpants Billboard
I’m not sure that the copy on this Indian billboard works all that well…
I’m Baaaaack
But I’ve got blank page syndrome. I can’t think of anything interesting to write. Computers are scaring me. I’ve not sorted out my photos yet. And I’ve got jetlag. But to bring in the New Year, here’s the greatest advert I saw whilst in…
