How cool is this - Hemmendorff created this burger Air Max 90 as part of a Nike project.

In the tradition of material innovation of AM 90, i constructed a running shoe using the most powerful, must durable and most delicious material known to man: hamburger.

I hate seeing these stories.  I know just how messed up the family and children laws are in this country, I’ve sat in a court in absolute wonderment at how old fashioned and unfair things are.

But, and I don’t say this ‘but’ lightly, I have to wonder how much the fathers 4 justice thing helps.  Dressing up in a batman suit makes dads feeling that their children should spend more time with them look a bit, well, crazy.  And, I can understand how the system can make you feel crazy, but it’s not a brand I’d want to associate myself with.

I don’t have a better idea or option apart from lobbying MP’s, this is what Russell Davies would call a slow project.  It hurts to think that my child will possibly be a dad himself by the time there are any real changes in how families are supported through the carnage of a split or divorce.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Just found this crazy collection of sounds Maxwell made in the simonsound studio a while back.  I love that my brother spends time with Max making stuff like this.  At nine, I would have killed for an uncle to do things like this with.

A year before the Limited Test ban Treaty was signed in Moscow in 1963, the USA ran a series of 105 nuclear tests in the Pacific and Christmas Island.  This is Yeso, a 3 Megaton bomb. Little Boy, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was 13-16 Kilotons.

I wonder what all those scientists are working on now?

I wouldn’t say I stare, but don’t you sometimes just want to go up to ‘that’ girl and say “I think you are beautiful” without seeming like a sex fiend.

London might as well pack up now. What could they possibly do in 2012 to match the extraordinary craft, precision and artfully poised readings of history delivered by Zhang Yimou, 14000 performers and an LED screen the size of a football pitch? I shudder to think, particularly given it might well involve Banksy, Amy Winehouse and Gary Lineker. (via cityofsound: Aerial music over Beijing)

Gonna go and check this out - I missed the last London event, so I’m very pleased this one is about 30 seconds from my front door.
