The Walking bike

If you love bikes and trainers you'll be diggin' the Walking Bike by Max Knight...

Looks sweet, but the ride isn't...

So after 3 months of planning, Under The Influence SE1 - The Thinking Man's Pub Crawl - went off last Thurs. And quite a day it was too.

Too many hilights of the day to mention... but footage of the day will be up shortly here so you can see for yourself. And have a read of Shaun Mcllrath's write up on Brand Republic here.

We particularly like what George Parker had to say. He clearly enjoyed himself (even his stalker). Here's George...

And here's Laurence from Fallon

All the pubs were packed, all the time. Here's a full pub (during Laurence I think)...

And we had fun making it happen - the map of the day especially...

Thanks to all those that came; to the speakers that inspired; to the beer that flowed... roll on next year.

Look out Google

A new way to search the web. Splendid...

Even baldies love these...

Oof Collective make loads of stuff. These combs are particularly sweet...

And they're also making musical combs and all kinds of craziness which you can check out here

The future of books

Kyle Bean made this cool art piece called 'the future of books' from an old charity shop book.

Some nice other bits on his site too.

Wind in your hair

This is super sweet from Michael Johansson. A scalextric inspired racing thing using balls and hair dryers.

This makes our p1ss boil

Nice one to whoever ripped this off...

And made this...

Lame and lazy. It's not like the original version hasn't been seen over 8m times or anything. And that's just the start. But I won't go on... if you've got nothing good to say, say (almost) nothing.

Big Slap

We nicked this off Made In England - not sure where it's from originally but it's smart all the same

Barcodes

It's easy to forget how good these graphic barcodes are from http://www.d-barcode.com/

They won a Titanium Lion in 2006 and deservedly so.

Beam me up

Love shit like this...

From Wooster

T.W.A.F

Spotted this on Notcot. The War Against Fakes. It's good. It's a brand doing as well as saying.
