Check out the awesomeness in these… a company who custom makes rooms for kids…

I’d live in these — without a second thought.

Great micro-doc on the worlds largest record collection. I love this and as much as I enjoy digital music it’s such a shame that a huge portion of history will eventually get forgotten. It’s the same with VHS > DVD > Blu Ray — as each new format comes along only mainstream productions get converted.

I wouldn't normally post skateboard footage here… but this is truly inspiring.

A very sexy flashback from the late nineties, the effort that must have gone in into creating the art for this is just mindblowing.

And my first post in the TAK! blog as well, double awesome!

Ah man… why don’t things like this happen in the UK?

Love this video for the Bomb The Bass track - sweeeet!

Here's an interesting web app — Blip.fm is like a musical Twitter. Whereas sometimes I struggle to see the point of Twitter, Blip.fm demonstrated it’s genius within about 10 mins of use.

After signing up, you add DJ’s into a favorites list. These DJ’s are people who are into similar music you are into, they can be friends or strangers. Each Blip user when they particularly dig a tune ‘blips’ it. This tune then appears on the playlists of your followers. Likewise if a DJ you are following is vibing on a tune, then you too will get their recommendation. Your homepage acts as a giant playlist of musical blips and it’ll sequentially play through each track one by one.

Personally, I think works a lot better than the auto-selected Last.fm model which is based on listening habits. The Blip model is hand picked. Music should be hand picked.

Excellent!

Edit: I forgot to add - the service seems to have every tune under sun - not sure how... but I suppose that is the deciding factor - without music the service fails.

Thanks to Iain for the tip off…

DINO * RUN is a great game by the impressive Pixeljam peeps all done in their trademark  8-bit style. The idea is you’re a Dino running for your life from impending fiery doom. The game starts out fairly straightforward but each new level reveals more and more of the game and it's charm. So many ideas within this simple concept. And it's got multiplayer! Give it a run and see how far you get — it’s worth skimming the 'How To Play' instructions just to find out about how to get power ups etc.
