Turn Anything Into A Touch Pad. Hmm...


MaKey MaKey is a simple and ingenious device that can transform nearly any physical object, even bananas, into a touch pad to execute commands on your keyboard. So far they've created musical instruments and even game controllers out of everyday objects. The rad part is it's a KickStarter project. Check it out and donate if you think they're awesome. Heck, you may even get that banana piano you've always wanted. 

 

The Difference Between 29 & 31. Hmm...

I'm 33. Fuck.  

Truth On A Wall Near The Goodman Gallery. Hmm...

If you don't know about the infamous Spear painting at The Goodman Gallery portraying SA president Jacob Zuma in a Marxist stance with his knob out, you're pretty friggen lucky. It's all become a little too insane for my liking. I mean an entire govt turning all its energies on an art gallery, in a country of free speech no less, can only be described as insane. So now people are marching on the gallery for a second time, even after some creeps snuck in to deface the painting a few days ago... You'd think the government would be more outraged at, oh I dunno, our disgustingly high poverty and crime rates or at the sickening police corruption stats, maybe even the poor conditions of govt hospitals and schools and perhaps put their efforts into actually solving those problems and helping the people of this amazing country we all share. I guess marching on art and grabbing headlines away from real issues is easier.

UPDATE:
Apparently this is the window of The Goodman Gallery right now. Fitting.

 

Beckham Plays Beethoven's Ode To Joy. Hmm...

More like Oy To Vey. All those quick cuts suggest Beckham didn't even come close to accomplishing this in real-time. Not surprising since he probably can't pronounce "Beethoven." Or "ode" for that matter. Or "to." Still, the vid's got close to 2 million hits. Way to use borrowed interest, Samsung.  

Here's How You Promote A Digital Radio Station. Hmm...

Oh those clever Coke guys

The Amsterdam Peeing Challenge. Hmm...

An idea borrowed right out of Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point, but a good idea nonetheless. Oh those dirty Dutch.  

Hmm... Of The Day


True flippen story  

A Most Manly Docking Station. Hmm...



They're made from real flippen exhaust manifolds and they sound incredible, apparently. The only manlier iPod/iPhone dock would have to be made directly out of a grizzly bear or something. Check out more here at IXOOST. My birthday's Nov 5. Thanks.   

The World's Best Bartender. Hmm...

Someone wants to work at Cocktails And Dreams
