Dove Men Parody (video)

Last Friday we posted the viral campaign from Dove where women are asked to describe themselves to a forensic sketch artist. Ends up women have a lower self image about themselves when describing their own looks. Now, here's a great "follow-up" parody with men in the same situation. Enjoy!

Flowbee, Honda Style (video)

Seriously? If you know what Flowbee is, you know how crazy this is. It was uploaded to YouTube on April 1, so it's probably just a brilliant April Fools joke. Check this out...

What a great way to promote the Odyssey Touring Elite's standard HondaVAC vacuum!

Thomas Edison...The Brilliant Mind Behind #LOLCats (video)

Here's a little fun probably found in some buried treasures... 

Boxing cats filmed by Thomas Edison in 1894

The electric light bulb, the phonograph, and the movie camera were invented (or significantly improved upon) by Thomas Edison, so lets give him credit for one more: LOLcats:

This short film was shot at the world's first movie studio, The Black Maria, located in West Orange, NJ. The entire building was built on a turntable so that the building could rotate with the sun for the best lighting conditions.

Pez Hacking: Get Your Own Pez Head! 

Have you ever wanted a Pez dispenser with your head on it?!?! Um, yes please! Hot Pop Factory based out of Toronto can do just that for you. They are actually a 3-D jewelry printing company that stumbled upon genius idea of creating your likeness on a Pez dispenser...Pez Hacking as they like to call it.

What's fascinating is that they use an XBox Kinect to render your 3D scan. Who knew the multiple uses of the XBox Kinect? Brilliant idea! Time to get a 3D printer.

Typing Karaoke - Super Rad Way To Kill Time, Look Busy, and Have Fun

When was the last time you picked up a pen to write a letter? You more likely went to your computer and penned the letter in an email. Typing has become second nature to most us. Even slow typers I know can keep their head up these days and just type away with a few occasional glances at the keyboard. But if you're fingers are still crimping for a pen, get the nimble dexterity of typing down with this really cool 8-bit graphic game called "Typing Karaoke".

The game is created by @TravisChen whose twitter profile reads, "I make games. Fun ones professionally, strange ones unprofessionally. Creator of Typing Karaoke among others."

p.s. It's a good way to test yourself and it's a fun game.

Trampoline Bridge Concept - Graphic is Hilarious! 

Trampoline Bridge Concept for Paris by Atelier Zundel Cristea is a real concept that is entered into the A Bridge in Paris competition. It's been all over the web this week because it's fun, playful, looks like it could potentially work and if this concept wins, it will definitely be an tourist attraction and experience for Paris. However, what cracks me up is this rendering of the bridge:

It looks like people are flying all over the place! If this is how we cross the trampoline bridge, sign me up...then have a neck brace and masseuse ready on the other side. What do you think of this concept, or rendering?

Amazing 3D Printer Technology Can Create Anything (video)

With all the hype about 3D printers being able to create just about anything you can render on a computer, here's an awesome glimspe of possibly the best 3D printer yet - and no computer needed! It's been a big secret since the 80's and now it's finally being revealed! Enjoy!

Like the music? I bet you scratched your head a little on this one too. Yes, this is a joke. If this were really available, we'd have one in the office right now and we would be making all sorts of brilliant crap.
