LA-based comedy magician Eric Buss demonstrates his satisfying and want-inducing combination bubble wrap dispenser and popper.

Yes, it does need a fatter wheel.

galway

A cool, refreshing compilation of dives, drops and buck-leps from the Blackrock tower in Salthill, Galway by Christopher Tierney.

“The July 2013 heatwave had the thermometers reaching unheard of heights and sent people scurrying for the cool waters of the Atlantic. Here’s a little slice of Galwegian Life!”

We lost our minds in the sun.

I wonder if you might share our video. This year’s GAZE International LGBT Film Festival opens with a feature film called “Animals”, about a bisexual teenager and his relationship with an imaginary walking, talking teddy bear. Reminiscent of Donnie Darko and Elephant (but not Ted!).

Inspired by this film and to celebrate opening night, we made a short documentary with members of the LGBT community about their own bears, and the memories they represent. If anyone out there just can’t quite let go of their childhood toys or feels guilty about a teddy left alone in the attic, this might interest them.

Tickets for Animals available here.

lasko

When he retired in the 1970s, former commercial artist Hal Lasko (97), better known as ‘Grandpa’, had spent an entire career making art by hand. In the 90s, his family introduced him to Microsoft Paint.

Hal’s work, described as ‘a blend of pointillism and 8-bit art’ is explored in this rather touching short by Josh Bogdan.

train

Xierqi station on Beijing Subway’s Line 13 last Thursday morning at around 7:30.

According to Antony Tao of Beijing Cream, Xierqi is:

…a transfer station and one of the cleaner, better-looking ones in the system. It has, like other stations in Beijing’s vast underground transportation network, built-in artificial bottlenecks intended to relieve congestion in the form of gates and narrow staircases. On some occasions, however, those fail.
