Much like everything else The Arcade Fire touch... This is just magic.
Watch and marvel at what's possible with HTML5 and an uncaged imagination.

separated at birth: kermit & christian bale
I normally hate these memes that set out to create some lame connection between random elements of celebrity in order to score a few extra subscriptions... But it's Kermit and CHRISTIAN BALE. How can that not be hilarious!?
One is arguably one of the greatest actors of our time, using an intense combination of method acting while drawing on a wide array of deeply personal experiences to bring out each of his troubled characters... The other is Christian Bale. (sorry, that joke sucked but the guy acts like such a douche sometimes, the dad joke material writes itself)
Anyway... enjoy the hours of work some weirdo has put into finding these pics.

skate and create 2010
The followup event to the hugely successful 2009 concept by Transworld Skate Mag in the US, four teams were given a warehouse and 9 days to Skate and Create a mini video part.
- The four teams are made up of a total of six skaters—four pros and two ams.
- Each team is given nine days in a warehouse with the same set of obstacles.
- Each team is allowed one art director on site.
- Each team is assigned one TWS photographer to shoot a feature article for the magazine.
- Each team is allowed a film crew to produce a video for skateboarding.com.
- The final photo and video product is judged by the TWS edit staff (minus S&C coordinators Skin Phillips and Josh Brooks) on the level of skating, creativity, the use of obstacles, and overall image and video quality.
- The winner gets the cover of the magazine and will have a spot reserved in Skate & Create 2011.
They each produced rad videos which you can scope out here but in my opinion, one stands head and shoulders above the rest.
I give you: LAKAIROMANIA

style wars epic set up
I only have two stickers on my beloved macbook pro... One that says "i love because" from my previous life as the founder of a clothing company.
The other says STYLEWARS - Because attending the first few of these annual snowboard contests at Falls Creek in Australia is STILL one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Let me explain why: They just keep stepping up the crazy.
Here is the insane course setup they've implemented for this year's competition which kicked off last night.
more details from our good friends at snowlife here

we've all thought about it
We've all said it at some stage in our lives. Walking aimlessly amongst the IKORBROGBA lounges or the GAAAHWONK library furnishings, you will often hear someone mention softly to their newly appointed de facto partner... "how awesome would it be to have a massive game of hide and seek in IKEA?"
Well, by the looks of it you're too late because the FB event has been removed but here's what it looks like yesterday morning.
chatroulette FTW!
Possibly the best use of social media marketing I have ever seen.
Chatroulette, a platform custom built for young men with too much time 'in' their hands, combined with the old adage "sex sells".
What do you get?
be careful what you wish for
It has to be one of the lamest, most trite phrases in the English language.
Until it happens to you... And nothing else says it so well.

I have been trying to find the person who designed the original version of this picture for a whole day now...It was left on a music forum and I thought it was brilliant so rebuilt the image and used it as my FB profile pic.
Love your work, whoever you are.

stoner vs wild
Not a huge fan of stoner humour at the best of times... But this Aussie Youtube Dood's impression of Bear Grylls is totally on point.

time lapse of newly painted plane
The magic of time lapse photography is the way it showcases every day life in a whole new format, illuminating daily regularities as the baby steps towards something far greater.
These guys probably never considered their work as 'beautiful'... But after viewing 4 days work in under 4 minutes, it's hard to see their ant like behaviour as anything but.

prismatic audit
Most websites are rubbish.
Reading the FAQ section on this website felt like the first time I ate a mango... An exhilarating experience that left me dribbling all over myself and wishing for more.

surprise
You know the film Love, Actually? You know how the best parts are the intro and outro at Heathrow Airport? Involuntary, unadulterated show of emotion is a beautiful and painfully human experience to view.
So grab the tissues and give into it... This is pretty amazing.
welcome to wrongtown
Step 1. Find a nice house in one of Melbourne's nicest inner-city suburbs
Step 2. Invite all your artist friends to come stay and each design a room
Step 3. Call the media and watch the street art cheques roll in
Here are some photos of the most amazing art show I have ever attended.

Anyone who knows me is probably already sick of me talking about this film...
But with a promo poster this good, and David Fincher directing - how can you expect me not to get excited?

Viva Vinyl!
Harold Moore's is a well known record store in Soho.
They are refitting their shop and had to throw about 20,000 records in a bin out the back.

Saturday In Design Festival: Melbourne
I spent most of Saturday walking around Melbourne, looking at beautiful things and sitting in very comfortable chairs.
There was free food, margaritas and then Akira Isogawa talked about designing his line of furniture for Schiavello.
Here are the results of my first Saturday In Design
