Is it monday? Is it art?
These are shoes, but they’re also more than meets the eye. On the one hand, I’ll paraphrase that old saying from Big, “So it’s a sneaker that turns into a robot? Why is that fun?”, on the other hand, it is pretty cool. With the laces all fluttering around like [...]

So hot on the heels of R2D2 mailboxes, the USPS is about to release their Star Wars stamps. Their whole homepage is focussed on the new stamps and they’re letting you vote for your favourite stamp, the winner of said vote to be released as an individual stamp (the rest are part of a sheet). [...]

I don’t know if these ads are playing on TV but apparently Coke has hired two actors to Punk Coke’s own lawyers. Check out these three videos. I love watching how each one reacts. Initially I thought the third guy would be out of a job, seeing as how he was like, “Yeah, we’ll start [...]

Check out this documentary on the creation of the Dr. Who Theme song from the early 80’s. This is really cool, that guy shows you how he busts out that signature “ooooo-EEEEE-oooooo” (you see how I disagree with the Wired writer’s transcription? He started with a woooo, but it sounds more like oooo to me, [...]

Came across this video of one guy at the 2006 French Beatbox Championship. It is a bit of a long video (over 8 minutes!) but it starts to blow your mind around the 2 minute marker. Honestly, I didn’t even realize we still had beatboxing championships, but I’m glad we do. Hey, someone else is [...]

We’ll start with another case of Google giving up information, this time it’s Orkut giving Mumbai police information about its users who post “objectionable material” on the site.
