Dan Mangan - Robots.

Inspired by early 80s gang movies, Robots tells the story of two rival gangs who engage in their own back-alley version of robot wars, pitting one robot against the other in a battle to the finish! Great vocals, with a gritty take.

Moleskine.

No idea why I didn't upload this earlier, but this is one of the most used items that I carry around, usually as a planner. Its uses are endless, and its durability is legendary (backed by an unconditional lifetime warranty) it includes an expandable folder and features the classic black oilcloth-bound cover, durable thread-bound binding, and a handy elastic closure. And well, if they were good enough for Hemingway and van Gogh, then they're surely good enough for us pedestrians.

Moleskine® notebook is the heir and successor to the legendary notebook used by artists and thinkers over the past two centuries: among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. A simple black rectangle with rounded corners, an elastic page-holder, and an internal expandable pocket: a nameless object with a spare perfection all its own, produced for over a century by a small French bookbinder that supplied the stationery shops of Paris, where the artistic and literary avant-gardes of the world browsed and bought them. A trusted and handy travel companion, the notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or the pages of beloved books.
 
Today, Moleskine brand is synonymous with culture, travel, memory, imagination, and personal identity--in both the real world and the virtual world. It is a brand that identifies a family of notebooks, journals, diaries, and innovative city guides, adapted to various functions. With the diverse array of page formats, Moleskine notebooks are partners for the creative and imaginative professions of our time. They represent, around the world, a symbol of contemporary nomadism, in close connection with the digital world, through a network of websites, blogs, online groups, and virtual archives. With Moleskine, the age-old gesture of taking notes and doing sketches --typically analogue activities-- have found an unexpected forum on the web and in its communities.

The Men's Club.

I’m currently reading The Men's Club by the late American writer Mr. Leonard Michaels. He only wrote two novels, one of which being The Men's Club, which came out in 1981. It’s a story about a group of strangers who meet up and form a club, where they discuss their problems, and their past life experiences. It’s hilarious. The type size is big and the leading is large so its 192 pages can be read quickly.

Seven men, friends and strangers, gather in a house in Berkeley. They intend to start a men’s club, the purpose of which isn’t immediately clear to any of them; but very quickly they discover a powerful and passionate desire to talk. First published in 1981,The Men’s Club is a scathing, pitying, absurdly dark and funny novel about manhood in the age of therapy. “The climax is fitting, horrific, and wonderfully droll” (The New York Times Book Review).

Rip-Cup, The Disposable Paper Cup.

       
Now you can easily rip off the top part of the Styrofoam cup and reuse it a few more times. Starting off as a regular sized cup, this design allows people to use the cup and effectively reduce the amount of waste. This seems like a good idea, but the cost at which these would be manufactured would price them at around $3 for 5. Might as well buy a regular glass cup from your local dollar store.

Designers: Yoo-Jin Kim & Hyesun Lee

Say Hello To My Little Footer.

Yes, it was supposed to look like that....But because of my inadequate coding skills, I was not able to fit all the images without one ending up on another line. I did not want to re-size the images either so I removed the far right image and settled for less. What I was hoping to do was link each of the sticker images to one of my profiles. I did that by merely cutting the image into several large pieces. The problem having such a large image is that empty "white" areas also become hyperlinked. Does anybody know how I could fix this issue?

This is Karma.

THEME: This is a documentary about the philosophy of karma. I am into eastern philosophy which I find to have a lot of truth in it. I wanted to make a film that conveys the idea that we are all basically the same. And I also wanted to make an informative film about what karma really is in case people are interested.

FORM: I wanted to experiment with fusing the documentary genre with the music video genre. I also wanted to make a film that in form reflected indian society in all its colour, chaos and diversity. Indian traditional ideas and beliefs, indian classical music remixed and edited trough western eyes to hopefully suit a western audience.

Geir O. Ramsvik: photography, editor, visual effects
Kristian E. Sjølie: graphic design
Jan Magnus Nymo: sound design, surround and stereo mix

In this world nothing happens to a person that he does not for some reason or other deserve. Usually, men of ordinary intellect cannot comprehend the actual reason or reasons. The definite invisible cause or causes of the visible effect is not necessarily confined to the present life, they may be traced to a proximate or remote past birth.


Great short with bonus tilt-shift footage.
