Festo and the future
OMG, etc. Check out these two great videos of some of the amazing creations from Festo, as blogged over at the always excellent Rubbishcorp. I spent a good hour this evening freely surfing the web, which I haven’t done in absolutely ages and just had to share.

Digital meets analogue, online meets offline
As the offline/analogue and online/digital worlds start to blend even more, I thought I’d share some favourite stuff I’ve been tagging over the past few months. I love this stuff and am really excited about the web weaving its way into more and more stuff.

50 people, one question

And don’t f*ck around
We went to Amsterdam at the weekend for the first time.

AC/DC ASCII Action – the first music video created in Excel
I love ASCII stuff. But I’m not so sure about ACDC. This is interesting nevertheless – a music video created in Excel. Not quite Radiohead’s House of Cards. But still cool.
