Rodney Mullen - TED X

Great talk on creativity and innovation from one of our favourite skate legends Rodney Mullen.

Space Oddity... in space.

I suppose if I was a man in space, I'd grow a moustache and make YouTube videos as well.  Nice find, Tom H.

Amy Stein + Stacy Arezou Mehrfar

Chill out to Justin Bieber

I can guarantee this will be the only time I will suggest you listen to Justin Bieber. In a happy accident, producer Nick Pittsinger slowed Bieber's “U Smile” down 800% to create the ultimate silk purse out of a sow's ear. The result is a beautifully hypnotic and relaxing ambient piece. The only thing missing is the smell of massage oil and the sound of whales mating.
