New Nikon COOLPIX s1000pj


I read about this on the Creative Review site, so sorry this is just a blog of another blog but this is like the raddest thing i've seen come out of camera technology in ages so i just had to repost! It's a compact digital camera with a projector built in, usually i try not to get sucked in to the latest cool stuff but, this is just too awesome, can i have it for Christmas please Mum and Dad?

Check out what Japenese Ad angecy did with the camera!

Photoshop in movie posters

I found this cool french blog which showcases the photoshop work of film posters, it's a little like the blog photoshop disasters, but this ones shows some pretty impressive photoshop work aswell as duplications or dodgy touch ups.

Inglorious Basterds: Review

Don't get me wrong now, i'm a big Tarantino fan, or was, but this film reminded me of a play that a 6 year old might do of a film he saw, where he got all the other films he'd seen muddled up and then messed all his lines up and then got carried away with playing sword fights instead of concentrating on the original idea which was actually quite good, if only he could remember it but he was too busy trying to squeeze in all those other exciting bits from other films he'd seen. The only saving grace was the lovely backdrop he'd painted on the stage, so mummy thought it was wonderful anyway.

Made for Skate



MADE FOR SKATE tells the stories behind the shoes that carried skateboarding through its colorful history.

I came across this awesome site, detailing the history of the skate shoe, whilst researching for a personal project, i fell in love with the book so much that i bought it right away on amazon.

The website is really nice too, with some cool downloads, check it here

I enjoyed the graphics and beautiful engineering of the aeroplanes at Duxford Museum, even the bombs look incredible, terrifying to think how many people they could and did kill.

New favourite Band


Last.fm is great! I listen to it every day and am constantly discovering new awesome bands. Unfortunately i can't really afford to buy all this new music i'm discovering but i think LITE are an exception. They've just got instrumental math rock down to a t. I'm off to buy their stuff!

Check them out here.

My new Nike hi-tops


My new Nike hi-tops
Originally uploaded by xebex

ok, ok, i know it's a bit sad to wet yourself over a pair of shoes made using child labour in Thailand - and although i was slightly shocked by the shiny patentness, and freaked out by the pvc squeakyness - i'm really loving my new hi-tops. RAD!
