BIKE POND JUMP MAIN

Why Not?

"... it's what summer's all about.  Isn't it?"

A sunny day.  An up-for-it crew of bikers , break dancers, poppers, and free runners. A big old pond. And a phat summer sound.  What have you got?

This film made by Devin Graham and his camera crew of Jace Leroy, Kristen Hillier, and Josh Contor.  We like.

Finger MAIN2

Magic Fingers

"Flippin' heaven ..."

As we have recently been reminded, a fingerboard (or Finger-Skateboard) is a miniature version of a skateboard complete with moving wheels, graphics and trucks.  Measuring an average 96 millimeters long and 26 to 28mm wide, fingerboards can be employed by those gifted few to deliver the same breadth of board tricks that the better known skater pros deliver through their feet.  Only in this case the tricks are delivered through magic (highly determined) fingers...

And such nimble digits in (or should I say 'on') the hands of a talented cameraman makes for highly imaginative and creative cinema....

W.m.d

Fry the lot of ‘em, with the Weapon of Mosquito Destruction.

A quarter-century ago, American rocket scientists proposed the “Star Wars” defense system to knock Cold War Soviet missiles from the skies with laser beams. Some of the same scientists are now aiming their lasers at another airborne threat: the mosquito.

Lead scientist Jordin Kare says that the laser will be able to sweep an area and "toast millions of mosquitoes in a few minutes." Responding to questions about any potential harm the laser could pose to the eco-system, Kare said: “There is no such thing as a good mosquito, there’s nothing that feeds exclusively on them. No one would miss mosquitoes.”

It fires at mosquitoes once it detects the audio frequency created by the beating of its wings (very cool). The laser then burns them on the spot. This is not a sci-fi fantasy, the project aims to prevent the spread of malaria.

1938 - 2007

1938 - 2007

It’s 1974. You’re strapped into a makeshift rocket pointed directly upwards. You’re staring straight at the sky. Pretty much all you can see is blue, although you can just about make out the canyon somewhere beneath you - the one you’re about to jump. On a bike. You can see nothing else below you or beside you. The only way is up. Don’t fancy it? Tough. You’re on national television, you’re Evel Knievel, and there’s no going back.

YOU MAY TAKE OUR MONEY, BUT YOU WILL NEVER TAKE OUR MAGENTA

You May Take Our Money, But You Will Never Take Our Magenta

renaissance these last few years. It’s like those batwing tops women are wearing again which enable them, in tight situations, to jump off buildings and float to safety like the Dark Knight himself.

Yes, Magenta is back, and has been for some time now. But there’s a chance it will be taken away from us by that malevolent b*****d T-Mobile. They claim ownership of the colour in Europe. No one else can use it, they say. Ban us from using one of our most beloved creative tools? O2 monopolise the iPhone, and now this?

We will not be moved. Rebel here.

THE IMAGININGS OF A BOY NAMED FREDDIE AND A GIRL CALLED HOLLIE

The Imaginings Of A Boy Named Freddie And A Girl Called Hollie

Freddie and Hollie are a pair of young and imaginative Londoners, plying their trade in advertising, who also run their own blog on the side where they post up ideas they think could make a difference, however small. Anything goes - it’s just a bunch of ideas in need of the determination to make them real; apparently Freddie and Hollie don’t have time.

There’s a web widget that changes the colour of popular websites so you don’t get busted at work; a Poppy ‘gift’ on Facebook to raise funds for the appeal (can’t believe they didn’t do this); recycling ideas for piles of freesheets polluting the capital’s streets; and my favourite, a direct mail idea for Sony’s ‘Colour Like No Other’ campaign which involves sending brightly coloured bin bags to one city street so that, when rubbish day comes around (assuming people remember - we often forget!), the street comes alive.
