Got forwarded this by good pal @frasiocht, a great video digging into the science of motivation and why so many smart, highly skilled individuals put so much time and effort into things that are given away free, such as Linux and Wikipedia.

Brands should give these sorts of things out at events rather than pens and mouse mats.

Check out GelaSkins for the whole range.

Check this out, Tokyo-based creative agency SET has developed this sexy looking QR code using artwork from Takashi Murakami to promote the work that the two have done together. The code sends you to this site.

What better way to pay tribute to MJ then by creating an Eternal Moonwalk made from thousands of videos sent in by Internet users. The directions for the video are simple, moonwalk in from the right, exit from the left. The site then pieces the videos together to keep that badass moonwalk going.

Spotted this in Fulham a few days ago and took the snap on my mobile, at first I thought it might be a copycat but if you look closer it’s flying CCTV cameras and an archer trying to shoot them down, probably a deep message in there somewhere.
