Smile Around The Face

One of my favourite videos ever from one of my favourite bands. It's such a simple video and concept, but there is something so mesmerizing about it. I just seem to keep coming back to it. And you might recognize the main character, Mark Heap (his most recent film appearance was in Tim Burton's "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory"). Check it out here.

Hipster Gift Exchange


Bored of regular Secret Santa. Well our friends at the best hipster sitcom around, "The Burg", have come up with a great idea. Pick someones name out of a hat, and find a way to screw them over huge. And then they have to forgive you, cuz well Auld Lang Syne. Watch the awesome video here.
And since im addicted to watching the show, Ive got to give it a quick plug. "The Burg: the hipster world capital where trust fund kids pretend to be starving artists, starving artists pretend to be able to live completely off of credit cards, and everybody pretends not to notice. Who says gentrification isn't funny?" Watch all of the rest of their videos here.

Got a complaint? Why not sing it?


A brain child of Helsinkians Tellervo Kelleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kelleinen, has a giant choir singing a list of complaints in a public square. So if you are trouble getting your voice heard, gather a large group of friends to start a choir, go to City Hall, and bring your singing voices and your complaints. Screw protests, this will definetly get you an audience. Watch some videos of multiple choirs here.

The New Laser Tag


If you thought I was talking about a game like Laser Quest... I wish... Laser Quest is awesome. But so is this! A new and easy way to tag (graffiti) buildings on a large scale, and fast. Alls you need is a laser pointer and a projector! Watch the video right here, and get instructions and source code to build yourself one here.
P.S. If anyone builds one, let me know, cuz I want one.
