I never caught on to the guitar hero craze, (real guitars are way more fun, in my opinion), but this thing is really cute/cool. I wonder how long it will take for them to be added to the list of highschool contraband?

Interview With Joshua Smith Hydro74
I'm a big fan of Hydro 74's work and found this interview quite interesting. I'd always wondered where he had gotten such impressive clients, and his explaination/reasoning makes a lot of sense. I find it hard as a designer to have concrete goals, I know where I want to be but I'm not sure how to get there (I'm really interested in design in the music scene - posters, cds tees and other promotional material, as I think there are more creative opportunities there rather than with some other types of design. Perhaps the best solution is to just be more proactive! What's also exciting for me, is that he is 10 years older than me, and the idea that most designers with the right attitude and enough talent can get quite far at a young age. Anyway, chekc the interview out here.

Replacements' Twin/Tone Catalog Reissued, Expanded
The Replacements are one of my favourite bands, and I think one of the post influential bands when it comes to the whole country/punk crossover genre. It weirds me out when someone doesn't know who they are though, they seem like a pretty accessible band; Hopefully the fact the catalogue is going to be re-released (starting with their twin/tone stuff) will mean more cool kids will realise that yeah, that against me song, Bastards of Young, is actually a cover.

Jason Das
I found Jason's work on the page a day site, thought it was awesome. I'm really digging his sketching style.
Check it out here.

Thing-a-day.com
I'm going to try to draw a pic every day and post it on Thing-a-day. I used to try to do a journal page every day awhile back, I eventually stopped though, and I need to try doing something creative again.

King of Kong Australian Release.
Last year I went through a stage of watching a while lot of documentaries, I downloaded The King Of Kong on a whim after reading the rating it had on rotten tomatoes. For a movie about old school game nerds, it's an amazing documentary that really pulls at your heartstrings and makes you feel real empathy for the people whose lives you are following.
Now it looks like it's finally gotten an Australian release date, looks like it's only showing at a few cinemas acroos Australia, so I'll have to head up to melbourne to see it, but it will be worth it to finally get to watch it on the big screen.
The King Of Kong, Australian site.

Vans Finger Fracture
So apparently Vans are making a game for the iphone to promote their shoes, this is awesome. Hopefully this is the start of a new direction for companies; using the iphone's technology for advertising and promotion. The game reminds me of a cross between playing with a tech deck, and the controls for Skate.

Free Wallpaper - Burning Aces
I made this for a friend yesterday, but some other people liked it, so I thought I'd put it up for download. I might be making a widescreen version soon.

Photon Light Skateboards
This has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen in awhile. Glow in the dark skateboards would freak out and annoy people even more than regular skateboards, plus you can skate at night! I want one. Here's a vid of them In action.

Dreamteam Clothing
I always get excited when I see a streetwear brand that makes stuff for girls, too. Dreamteam Clothing are a new German brand, hopefully they get stocked out here, cause the stuff is nice, and the colourways are awesome(I have a thing for purple and blue right now).

Supra Green Camo Skytop
If I had a million dollars I would buy every skytop colourway Supra released. They are such a awesome shoe. I still need to pick up a pair, but all the colours I've seen in melbourne have been kinda dull.This are sick though.

Pete Wentz's Bape Hoodie up on Ebay.
So apparently Pete's ex found this old bape hoodie in her closet and she's selling it on ebay now. It's already over $200.

Someone buy me a yo-yo!
This stuff is really awesome. I remember when osx came out, we were using the computers at the apple store in Geelong to edit videos for a highschool competition, and there were these awesome osx badges, and I stole one. It was on my guitar strap for ages but it got lost eventually.

End of Support for Netscape web browsers
My first experiences of the internet were on a mac using Netscape in my early teenage years. I didn't change browsers until my parents bought a g4 and I started using safari, later moving to firefox which I have used the last 3 years or so. It's sad to see something that I first learned to use the internet on die out.

Apple Sub Notebook Leaked Pic?
I found this on the Mac Rumours forums earlier today. Most people on there seem to think it's a 'shop, but it's still pretty exciting. I still wish apple would do a pda iphone style, though. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Last Night’s Garbage
Last Night’s Garbage is a photoblog about rubbish around New York City. Doesn't sound that exciting, but it is funny, informative and clever, and would be coffee book material ... if you want a book about garbage, that is.
