Domino Effect

Spending hours maybe days to build something so that you can destroy it later... To be honest that is not for me. But this guy is amazing and is really really good at what he is doing, building endless domino mazes, pyramids and other strange buildings using all kinds of tricks and destroying them later and he's got everything on video. This is one of his creations.

Adobe After Effects - Projection Animation Test

Excellent example of what a little imagination can do to a truck on a parking lot. Great video that shows the endless possibilities of Adobe After Effects. This is the work of the Russian artist Igor Sandimirov.

Volkswagen Passat: The Force

Another great Volkswagen commercial for the new Volkswagen Passat. Little kid in Dart Vader's outfit is trying to use The Force on the objects around him but he fails until he sees his dad with the new Passat in the driveway. This ad is spiced up with the unforgettable Star Wars tune for even more dramatic impression and it's very cute and funny to watch. Great work for the people in the Volkswagen workshop.

Bad Science by Ben Goldacre

We are obsessed with our health. And yet — from the media's "world-expert microbiologist" with a mail-order Ph.D. in his garden shed laboratory, and via multiple health scares and miracle cures — we are constantly bombarded with inaccurate, contradictory, and sometimes even misleading information. Until now. Ben Goldacre masterfully dismantles the questionable science behind some of the great drug trials, court cases, and missed opportunities of our time, but he also goes further: out of the bullshit, he shows us the fascinating story of how we know what we know, and gives us the tools to uncover bad science for ourselves.

Few words about Dr. Ben Goldacre: He is an award winning writer, broadcaster and medical doctor who specialises in unpicking dodgy scientific claims made by scaremongering journalists, dodgy government reports, evil pharmaceutical corporations PR companies and quacks. He has written the weekly Bad Science column in The Guardian since 2003.

Bad Science (The book) has sold over 240000 copies, and is being published in 18 countries.

Coldplay - Christmas Lights

Nothing gets the Christmas mood, like a beautiful song and a wonderful video for that song. This time Coldplay got the job done although i must admit that i liked the video rather than the song. Not that that the song is bad, but it's just not my type of song. Anyway the video was directed by Mat Whitecross and filmed in London on Thursday November 25th, 2010.

Bei The Fish - True Story

Great video made by Georgi Unkovski for the new Bei The Fish single named "True Story".

Colours Like No Other

Until now, I have never actually realized the true beauty of the Balls commercial for Sony Bravia. Probably because I've never seen the whole ad, only fragments, or the short version. But thanks to the Internet and Stumble Upon, I discovered that there was more than meets the eye. This wonderful ad was filmed on the streets of San Francisco and is spiced with some great music. The beautiful track that sets the mood for the commercial is "Heartbeats" by Jose Gonzalez taken from his debut album "Veneer". So sit back watch the video and enjoy... I know I did :)

Photoshop Art and Speedpainting

It is truly amazing what a man can do with a computer nowadays. There were times when artists used brush and canvas, but now all you need is Photoshop and good skills. The results can be seen on the next video. Martin Missfeldt is the man responsible for it and for many other videos and stuff that can be found on his website. It took him 4 hours to make this painting and all you need is 3 and a half minutes to enjoy his work. This is his website: Martin Missfeldt.

Parody or not, this is one great commercial :)

Mojito by Bacardi

It's summer, It's hot like hell, it's holiday season and I'm in a shit town in a middle of nowhere... with a long sandy beaches in my mind and a whisper of the waves in my ears, with a nice sunbed under my ass, and the taste of Mojito in my mouth... nice :) Now back to reality. Maybe I don't have all the ingredients for a nice vacation, but sure I can find all that I need to make myself a nice, tasty, exotic glass of Mojito...

Vladimir Kush

Another day spent in search of interesting stuff for my blog. I was just about to turn off my computer because my search didn't come up with the results I expected, meaning I was unable to find anything interesting. But then I saw Kush's paintings and sculptures and everything changed. I knew that his paintings must be on my blog's pages. He was born in Russia and began painting as a little kid between the age of 3 and 4. In the world of Vladimir Kush the myth, the metaphor and the poetry combine in new forms. I've tried to think of some appropriate text to explain more things about this artist, but I've given up the idea. I'll let his paintings speak. I believe that no matter what I'll write it won't be good enough to explain the magnificent world created by Kush. In this post I'll show you some of his work, my personal selection, but you can find more on the next link. And trust me, this guy is a true master of his work. For a better view of his masterworks click on every image to enlarge and enjoy. And remember, this is only a small part of what you'll find on his page: paintings, sculptures, books, bio... This is his website: Vladimir Kush.com
