Check out 'Black Rhombi' HERE.
This guy on the left is my new favourite sight.

Switch off that BBC iPlayer, there's nothing on, have a look at this...

A Wild Idea. "50 states, 365 days, 1 coonhound, celebrating everyday folks." Thats the mission statement from Theron Humphrey, a Photographer from South North America (you know what I mean). Listen to the interview whilst scrolling through his pics of that particular place. Amazing to see, so personally, into these peoples lives. Fascinating.
Here's a picture from 'the Merricks'. See the rest HERE.

If I was drink could I do THIISS??

DJ Shadow's new track/video...

Great song, Little Dragon seems to be cleaning up as of late. The video, though potentially BRILLIANT (the story could be told in a much more insane way) seems to have been done on a shoestring, perhaps to reflect the song title (did I just work that out while typing?). That said, using the memory man's story is such a stroke of genius, it hurts.

Great new TV spot for Barnardos.

Really does the job well.

Why didn't anyone tell me there was a 120m tall projection mapping project hosted by a world class DJ on my doorstep!? Momentum friends!

I've been wanting to see one of these for years. The wait continues...

The internet weighs 50 grams...

I've never wanted to believe something more...

I'm planning world domination by putting the internet into a strawberry and eating it.

Tashe time...

Movember.
After all your help last year, I was told that if I didn't do it this year it would just be selfish, so here we go again...

(last year)
I'll be growing a gnarley bit of facial hair for the month of November in the hope that all you wonderful people will think I look stupid and deem that enough to donate to the 'Movember' charity (Prostate and other cancer charities), mad thinking eh!? We can only hope.
In all seriousness, it's a great cause, so if you can spare a drop of your dollar, would be amazing.
Donate through my profile page... HERE!
BIGUPS YETTI FANS.

Data visualisation at it's finest...

Kick back, slip ya digiscreens into high definizzy mode and relax...

20 Hz from Semiconductor on Vimeo.


"Data is really dry. Anything that can be put into an impenetrable spreadsheet and turned into an equally incomprehensible graph or bar-chart is usually best left well alone. But Semiconductor think not, in fact they ruddy love the data – so much so in fact that they’ve actively sought out data from the The Canadian Space Agency to utilise in their latest project. 20Hz is an audiovisual maelstrom of an animation that takes raw data from electromagnetic storms and re-interprets it with sound and light, allowing us just a little insight into the weather systems of the cosmos. It’s pretty stunning."

Wrap ya rets around this ill shit...

Incredibly well shot promo for Soulwax...

2.8 Hours Later... (A quick, 'I'm actually at work' review)


Right, so this Friday just passed, I went on a Zombie excursion. A 3 day event (one each day) where people are chased around the city by zombies. 2.8hrs Later.
It was ACE.
We were basically chased by moaning/screaming blood spitting zombies whilst we went from 'survivor' to 'survivor' (more actors to tell you a bit of story and then a co-ordinate to the next area). It was set in the back streets of Bermonsey, London. We went around dark alleys and streets, through building/pubs and were even made to battle our way to the top of a multi-story car park. All whilst evading the undead.

In this video (sorry its so shit, I was being chased by zombies) we are being told where to hed next by a mad butcher chopping meat in a dark section under a bridge, from the pitch black space behind him we can hear shuffling and moaning, then screams, then we are told to run through the darkness, past the zombies.
I very nearly 'excavated my demons'.
At the end was a zombie disco where the 'infected' were made-up as zombies and we all had a rather strange party.
10/10. Do it next year Londoners.
For a slighty better review... HERE.

INTERESTING FACT ALERT!: Zombies worth over $5 billion to economy.

Jiro Bevis. (see his full, great, portfolio site... HERE)

Really liking this chap's style, reminiscent of Jim Phillips work from the old skate days (Iconic sticker and board designs including 'screaming hand'/'Santa Cruz').
LIKE Jiro Bevis.
