Nine minutes long but every bit enthralling, this DDB-created mockumentary will appeal to every greenie and pro-tote bagger. Narrated by Jeremy Irons, the video depicts the life cycle of the plastic bag, from grocery store to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. An exceptionally beautiful piece of work for Southern California’s coastal environmental group, Heal the Bay.

And to think comics were meant for kids. It’s no wonder that balding men in their 40s sporting ponytails are still into them.

For those who live in tiny HDBs and harbour thoughts of upgrading to a good class bungalow so that you could have oodles of space to cavort about, here’s a solution: Space-saving furniture by Resource Furniture.
I must say they make stylish, clever and useful furniture. It really does save space! And is so apt for Mickey Mouse apartments that cost S$1,500 per sq ft. Now if only the price would save you as much as well. When you need to “request a quote” to know the price, it only means the price tag is leaning towards Good Class Bungalowers.

She’s been called “a different kind of diva” by Vogue Magazine and “a true visionary… one of the most important signings of my career” by Sean “Diddy” Combs. For singer, songwriter, and high funkstress Janelle Monáe, however, the impetus remains the same as it’s been since before her Grammy-nominated debut EP Metropolis, Suite I: The Chase captured the imaginations of fans and fellow artists. As she readies her first full-length LP, The ArchAndroid, her focus remains on stirring your soul, moving your feet and simply, creating good music.

Official music video for Grandaddy’s song “Jed’s Other Poem (Beautiful Ground).” Jeddy-3, a humanoid robot built from spare parts, is a recurring character in Grandaddy’s 2000 album “The Sophtware Slump.” According to Grandaddy, before Jed’s system crashed he wrote poems. Poems for no one.
This was programmed entirely in Applesoft BASIC on a vintage 1979 Apple ][+ with 48K of RAM — a computer so old it has no hard drive, mouse up/down arrow keys, and only types in capitals. First open-source music video, code available on website. Cinematography by Jeff Bernier. http://stewdio.org/jed
