Apple iOS 7 Revealed. 

Well, here it is. I like it. It’s a good update, especially when you consider that Apple had to be deathly careful it didn’t rock the boat too much, given the massive range of user types it has to cater to.

It can’t just appeal to people like me, people that hunger for more options, more features, more controls. It also has to be easy and simple enough for my father, my mother, my grandparents. For people who just don’t get new technology as easily as those of us born to it.

Tech-heads will never be its focus, so too huge a change couldn’t be expected. But, I think they’ve introduced most of the things iOS needed to get back in the game.

For my own personal preferences, it’s still missing some key features. Read on. Continue Reading…

Here’s Some Shit I Like Today.

Mcbess is one of the most headwarping illustrators out there, and his new Dead Ahead poster – along with the ‘The Dudes and Mcbess’ script beneath it, is some hot shit. (above.)

DAFT PUNK – GET LUCKY

The first track from Daft Punk’s new album Random Access Memories is upon us: Get Lucky, featuring Pharrell.

Call it a return to form.

And listen, keep the video in focus, because at 2m21s, the figures in that ‘still image’ become animated, groovin’ away.


There’s a new trailer in town, this time revealing new scenes from Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and, more importantly, a preview of its tunes.

Fans of Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet know the man can collect a sharp soundtrack. Beyoncé, André 3000, Florence and the Machine. Oh and Lana Del Rey, but whatever.

In all, between the sound and the sight, I don’t know which I’m looking forward to more.

Cinemas, May 10.

The Onion Lays Down The Cold Truth On Careers And Passions.

Find The Thing You’re Most Passionate About, Then Do It On Nights And Weekends For The Rest Of Your Life.

Here’s a brilliant piece from Onion scribe David Ferguson on the struggles of getting out of the daily grind and into a career you can love.

“I can’t stress this enough: Do what you love…in between work commitments, and family commitments, and commitments that tend to pop up and take immediate precedence over doing the thing you love.

Because the bottom line is that life is short, and you owe it to yourself to spend the majority of it giving yourself wholly and completely to something you absolutely hate, and 20 minutes here and there doing what you feel you were put on this earth to do.”

It’d be hilarious, if it weren’t so. damn. true.

datsun bre bicycle eric caprin 01

This is wild. Indonesian revhead and designer Eric Caprin has rolled out a new concept that transforms a Japanese Sanki bike into a would-be BRE Datsun racer.

Inspired by the Brock Racing Enterprises track cars of the 70s, Caprin’s frame wears the same blue, white and red colourway worn by the BRE Datsun 510 coupes.

There’s BRE Datsun graphics on the down tube, a classic Datsun graphic on the top tube and even a Datsun head badge.

Perhaps even more insane is the pair of custom-made wheels emblazoned with the logo of the Work Wheels brand.
