French journalism student Lorena Gaillot set out on a quest through Williamsburg in Brooklyn to discover the elusive definition of the term ‘hipster’.
The hipsters didn’t like it.

Cheese It
at
The proposal to ban the advertising of most cheeses during children’s television programmes has been described as “absolutely crazy” and “mad” by members of the Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
The committee has said it will make a “forceful” submission to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland objecting to the plans.
They can have our Dairylea Dunk Pots when they pry them from our chubby greasy hands.
Plan To Ban Cheese Adverts ‘Absolutely Crazy’ (Alison Healy, Irish Times)
Nifty design.
The Corner Ladder ($145) folds its rungs into its rails with a simple, ingenious system of hinges, shrinking down to a storage-friendly fraction of its former size.
A witty and brilliantly designed 2011 BAFTA (and a zillion other) award-winning short from Mikey Please.
Often mistaken for a CGI animation, which it ain’t.
Animated through stop-motion, the film incorporates thousands of hand-created models across 115 sets to tell the story of Peter Eagleman. From a young age, Peter possessed a peculiar awareness of time. Obsessed with the concept that any unit of time represents a differing fraction of one’s life depending on age, he becomes preoccupied with this “speeding up” of time as he grows older, and longs to reverse the process.

Re: Women’s Aid
Dear Sirs,
We write further to the email of Ms. [redacted] of your office of the 2nd April and subsequent emails and letter of the 3rd April 2012.
We act for Women’s Aid in this matter. Women’s Aid is a registered charity, being a non-profit organisation dedicated to working against violence against women. Our client received, on or about the 27th day of March, 2012, correspondence from Newspaper Licensing Ireland Limited, proposing that our client sign and return a licence agreement giving our client “permission to scan clippings for 16 national titles and 90 regional newspapers plus some foreign newspapers”
The letter continued by warning our client that should they fail to comply in circumstances where a licence was required;
“You will be breaking the law; you risk exposing your company to expensive litigation. Reproducing copyright content without permission is theft”
We understand that Newspaper Licensing Ireland Limited (“NLI”) is a not-for-profit, limited liability company established in 2002 to collect licence fees for the use of copyrighted newspaper material in Ireland. NLI states that it has been mandated by a number of national and regional newspaper titles to collect licence fees on their behalf.
Our client is a stranger to any such mandate, or any relationship between NLI and any news publication or other copyright owner. In the circumstances, we write seeking some further clarification on a number of matters…
