Yes, it’s a another remix of Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know.

Reluctant as I am to add to the mountain of interpretations of Somebody That I Used To Know seemingly taking over their own area of the internet, I couldn’t resist the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered.
Beat Bricks – A LEGO Step Sequencer from superquadratic on Vimeo.
Guido Lorenz made a beat sequencer for Advance Hackaton 2012 in Cologne using a webcam and his ninja coding skills.
If you’re technically inclined and have some LEGO blocks lying around, you can download the code used to produce the beats.
Youtuber FlippyCat used 7,000 dominoes to recreate Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’.

LEGO builder Paul Vermeesch put together this wonderful rendition of M.C. Escher’s Relativity using Star Wars LEGO pieces. Each axis is based on a different scene from the films.
All children’s toys should be infused with the horror of H.R. Giger’s work just to instill the futile nature of life and prepare them for the crushing disappointment of adulthood.

We’re refusing to acknowledge though that it was released to celebrate the game’s 20th anniversary.
1992. If you want us, we’ll be locked in our room, hating everyone.

Color is a timesink of a game that brings out your interior designer.
It involves color-matching. Which is almost the same as colour-matching

Doing the rounds across the internets this week has been Valve’s Employee Handbook, a master class in Doing It Right.
Billed as a ‘fearless adventure in knowing what to do when no one’s there telling you what to do’, it details life in a company that could only ever be staffed by software developers: desks on wheels, self-organising teams, the often spoken-of but rarely achieved ‘flat structure’ – it all sounds too good to be true.
Puts Broadsheet’s manual (written on the back of a damp beermat) in the ha’penny place.
