(Video) Forget TED, it's all about NED Talks
If you can get past the terrible film quality, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised by a super clever spoof on the now universally loved (and over-quoted) TED conference from Monterey, California.
Can't believe it's taken this long for someone to poke fun at something so serious!

Iceland wants to be your friend
This is basically the coolest thing we've ever seen.
Iceland is on the internet, and it wants to be your friend.
Here's a recent post on the country's official blog:

(Video) Skiing ain't what it used to be
When you grow up snowboarding like I did, it feels a little strange watching as freestyle skiing explodes like Gremlins in the cake mixer.
But to deny what's happening on two sticks these days would be ignorant... Especially after seeing what these lads get up to in Legs of Steel: Nothing Else Matters.
As the Vimeo description reads: Crank up your speakers and hit full screen.
or, if you'd prefer a shorter ski video that's still sick as hell...
Say hello to Bobby Brown.

More than just a Tiny Story

(Video) Holding Creative Directors to ransom
As the views from our previous post continue to go a little bit bananas, we thought it might be nice to show the other side of the creative coin.
A young creative team in Melbourne were looking for work at an ad agency. Instead of taking the usual boring path (Click here to send us your CV), they tried something a little different.
Well played, and congratulations lads.
View their creative portfolio here
Artist makes his mark at Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne
We don't know who did it.
We don't know who asked him (or her!) to do it, or what the brief was.
We don't even know whose office they did it in.
All we know is, this artist took an opportunity to decorate the offices of 'Australia's Agency of the Year' to share their, somewhat negative, opinion of advertising.
Point made.
Bean Ergonomic Mouse by Rene Lee
There are too many reasons to list why this is a brilliant piece of design.
So instead, we thought we'd just post the beautiful illustrations of the Bean left & right handed ergonomic mouse and if you want to know more, check it out here

Celebrating Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'
While we try not to post anything too personal on That's Ace, we felt compelled this morning to pay tribute to what may be the single greatest double negative of all time...
We don't need no education.
Roger Waters, the visionary front man and writer of many Pink Floyd classic tracks is currently touring Australia with his magnum opus The Wall.
Tonight marks the moment at which this blog's creator Murray Galbraith will live out his childhood dream and see RW perform live in concert for the first time.
(He's got tickets to just about every Australian show, so if you're interested in seeing what all the fuss is about - check it out!)
