Neato video by artist and musician Jean-Paul Frenay about some futuristic corporation that has developed ‘organic virtual reality’ software designed to retrieve the memories of mankind. We assume that ‘organic’ simply means drippy, bulbous, and tendril-y.
Who didn’t have their own Etch-A-Sketch as a kid. Then we grew up and bought iPhones. Now they’re together, in a winning combination. The Etch-A-Sketch case is made of ABS plastic and designed just like the original. A fun gift idea, indeed.

But La Roux takes the cake. Literally. I’m obsessed with their song In For the Kill and have a feeling summer will take it and make it a hit.
Give your feet a treat and your neighbors a fright with this awesome pair of (super) creepy Zombie sandals. Oooohhh, spooky. Now, when’s Halloween again?
