That's right boys and girls...tomorrow is a half day in our office, and hopefully it's the same for many of you. In order to celebrate this wonderful occasion of Christmas parties and debauchery I've decided to create a pre-xmas day of awesome!
23rd December will be XMAS SUIT UP DAY - wear a red tie, red suit, red skirt, red undies...think of it as valentines day mixed with international suit up day and the drinking spirit of Christmas! :)
Thanks go out to @Whatleydude for bringing this little prezzie on over from the Tron premier in LA...feel like a little kid again dude ;)
So yesterday I headed on over to St. Pancras Church by Euston Station, where they had a pretty sweet art exhibition called Crypt-mas
Beside that awesome flying skull butterfly, the video below shows two of my favourite pieces from the crypt...
BMW have created one seriously wicked cinema advertising campaign...one that takes you back to the good old days when you'd stare at the sun and close your eyes to see how long the image would stay burned on the backdrop of your eyelids!
The vid below shows how they went about using this same concept (without burning your retina) to offer a pretty cool experience to the viewers in the cinema.
No logo was used in the ad at all, and the ad itself featuring Ruben Xaus happens to be pretty awesome, which makes the whole thing work a lot better.

So over 300 people took part in the flash mob this weekend (11th December 2010) There was plenty of music, cheering and drinking...rather festive and apparently it all started at Liverpool street station.
Big week this week...first it was my very first attempt at slide share and today I had the pleasure of taking a few minutes away from the office to learn a few handy tips on filming short video snippets, by the awesome James Whatley (why awesome? Well, check him pitch a tent)
Anyway, this was the first test and if all else fails...you can still enjoy the scary sounding French guy in the soundtrack ;)
I may have expressed my excitement about this before, but these laser engraved skateboards by designer Piotr Woronkowicz have an even greater story to tell, and it's all to do with Utopia, architecture and skateboards of course!
To kick things off, the three decks you see on top there are numbered according to the building and architect they represent:
(1) Paul Rudolph,
(2) Mies Van Der Rohe
(3) Frank Lloyd Wright
Below is a quick overview of each building as seen on the deck, then I'll explain to you just HOW awesome the etchings actually are...
Welcome back, and now that you've taken the time to read the details and tiny writing above, I'll tell you why it's seriously caught my attention...
You see the numbers on the board? The "1" the "2" the "3"? Well each of the three decks were etched using only the numbers that were assigned to them! See the "2'" in the call out example below:
Well, if you're into architecture, art or skating...maybe there's something here that you can appreciate. If you want to find out a little more you could always check out the YouTube video of Piotr chatting about the boards here or read about it on numerous design blogs.
Hope you enjoyed, and if you didn't, maybe you'll enjoy what the gallery who exhibits the piece does with their dog and a store front window ;)
I can not express the joy right now, in South African I had the pleasure of seeing a handful of awesome bands, but if you just take a look at Wikipedia it'll give you some kind of indication as to the extent of the South African rock festival organisation.
Download this year is gonna be awesome, and there's absolutely no God damn way I'm missing out on it this time round! It's rockstar suit up time boys!
