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.

Watched and be awed.

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.

The Ouroboros or Uroborus is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle.
The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end (compare with phoenix). It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist’s opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism. <Read more…>

Alright, flash mobs are getting a little contrived and “oh-no-not-again”, especially those dancing ones with bad choreography. But this by Philadelphia Opera Company is pretty cool. Check it out.

Fake North Korean fans, illegal Dutch miniskirts, and a Brazilian Twitter hoax. The drama behind the scenes at the World Cup is almost as scintillating as the action on the pitch. <Read more…>
