These Planetary Bubbles Are In A Magical World Of Their Own

by Low Lai Chow

English photographer Richard Heeks stumbled upon his bubble obsession in 2007 when he was caught up with taking close-up shots of his wife’s eyes (“I just liked to see the whole landscape in her eyes”). At that time, his nieces were blowing bubbles in the garden and he noticed the remarkable reflections they made. The not-so-glacial shift from photographing eyes to bubbles happened there and then.

In a recent interview with photo sharing site Flickr he added:

“At first glance, some people think my images are from space — you know, planets, stars… but when they find out they’re actually bubbles, lots of people are amazed that something so small and ordinary can be so beautiful.”

Since then, he has gone on to experiment with annihilating these planetary bubbles with needles (for the record, the needle just slipped through) and bare fingers, as well as using a special colored bubble mix called Zubbles for clearer and shinier reflections. So what are his tips for taking a great bubble shot? “A good day is a still day with slight cloud (diffuses the sunlight)”

What are you waiting for then?

Stussy x Champion – Rochester Collection

by Masa

Stussy x Champion Rochester Collection 02 Stussy x Champion   Rochester CollectionEven though American companies are not treated like royalty over here, the Japanese have high regard for traditional American brands. One example is their affection towards Champion, who we previewed their collaboration collection with nanamica recently, a much loved brand that garner countless fans and collectors. Stussy Japan is another brand who likes to touch base with Champion periodically, launching limited edition gear to surprise its customer base. As we long for sunshine and longer days, they are presenting their newest lineup titled Rochester Collection. The range revived the superb garment quality produced by Champion from 1940s to 1960s. Although it is brand new, it maintains the soul of vintage clothing that is lacking in today’s mass produced goods. All of the pieces will be available from today at Stussy Japan stores and their online shop.

Can Someone (Anyone!) Please Explain This Ridiculous Video?

by Alex Wain

On reflection, we might have been a bit hasty when we called this particular video the Strangest Clip You’ll See All Year back in early January. That’s because we’ve recently unearthed a brand new gem from remote corners of the interwebs. With no context given in the description, no recognisable faces to reference and a tagline that simply reads “You could stop at five or six stories, or just one.” it is utterly confounding in the extreme.

What was it created for? Is it an audition tape? What about the other 5 or 6 stories and what the f**k are all the action moves all about?

Your guess is as good as ours, but if you’re able to shed any light on this truly mind-boggling clip, leave a comment below!

Subaru Global has created an awesome video that shows a remote-controlled Subaru WRX STi racing an unraveling stick bomb. They show off the speed of their RC car as it hits jumps, smashes through brick walls, and maneuvers around tricky obstacles.

Have you heard of the toy, stick bomb? Flat wooden sticks are woven together under tension, which then fly apart like dominos when one is removed.

Indian Man Attempts World Record for Fastest Typing With His Nose

by EDW Lynch

Back in 2012 Khursheed Hussain set the world record for the fastest time to type the alphabet—just 3.43 seconds. He’s now attempting to set another typing record, not with his hands but with his nose. The fastest time to nose-type a 103 character piece of text was set back in 2008 by an Indian person named Neeta, at 1 minute and 33 seconds. Hussain’s most recent attempt, performed last week, clocked in at 47.44 seconds. The attempt has not yet been certified by Guinness.

UBIQ x Saucony Grid 9000 – “Dirty Martini”

by Poe

ubiq x saucony grid 9000 dirty martini 01 UBIQ x Saucony Grid 9000   Dirty Martini

Except for a splash of olive brine, the recipe for a glass of dirty martini isn’t all that different from the regular one. Simple as it is for a bar drink, the complexity of its flavor serves as the inspiration for the new UBIQ x Saucony Grid 9000 “Dirty Martini”. In mostly olive and dark green with hits of pimento red, the Saucony Grid 9000′s suede upper – mudguard, perforated toe, Saucony logo and heel panel – all refers back to the martini’s olive garnish. In the meantime, a streak of cream and black overlays, referring to the vermouth and other alcoholic contents, complete the design. Now, all you have to do is add the “shaken, not stirred” to the equation…

The UBIQ x Saucony Grid 9000 “Dirty Martini” will be available starting this Saturday, March 8th, through UBIQ‘s flagship store in Philadelphia, with subsequent releases at key Saucony retailers on a later date.

A Worthless Clock Featuring the Armless Black Knight From ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ Not Showing The Time

Look, you stupid bastard, you’ve got no arms left!” – King Arthur

Minneapolis artist Phil Jones has created “The Most Worthless Clock,” a clever illustration featuring the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail standing in the middle of the clock with his arms chopped off and laying at his feet, rather than pointing to the current time. Prints of Phil’s illustration are available to purchase online at Society6.

Here is the original scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail for reference:
