- Fifa Street Style 3 commercial [video] - The cynic in me wants to say this isn’t real. But if it is, man is that cool. It’s like parkour meets soccer. These guys would totally rule at a game of One-Touch, One-Bounce.
- John Mayer is F*cking Rich [video] - I have a natural aversion to all things Mayer. Really, I shouldn’t. I just unfairly pegged him after that wretched Wonderland song. Blech. Anyway, he shows quite a bit of comedic chops here. And who doesn’t love self-deprecating humor?
- Ice spheres - For those that prefer their drinks on the rocks, supposedly a perfect ice sphere is the best way to server it, as it melts more slowly. And it looks grade-A badass. [via]
- Millencolin’s new album Machine 15 - Hello, my name is Brian and I have a secret crush on pop-punk. I must be somehow stuck at the age of 14, but I have some weird soft spot in my heart for uptempo, chugging guitars and harmony. Fifteen years into their career, they’re still showing some of the snotnosed preteen bands of today what’s up. Does it make it more punk that they’re from Sweden? No? Stream the new album.
- This amazing video (commercial? ad?) - Just watch it. The little kid inside me is giddy and awestruck. It’s brilliant.

Holy cow that's one complicated video just to promote a wire rack! Very cool, although it's a lo-fi rip of Honda's famous 'Cog' advert (one of the greatest ads ever made btw)
LOL I'm emailing that link to all the office peeps, they'll love it

@Leanne - Very true, that's immediately what I thought of as well. Hopefully this one didn't cost the $606 million USD that Bardou-Jacquet's did!

As minxlj said, #5 is a bit of a rip-off of the Honda ad - here's a link to it if you're interested.

Still cool though.

Did You Know?
Big Pipes
I have an unusually large throat. Not that this is much of a talent, but it sure did come in handy as a child when I wanted to swallow entire stalks of broccoli or other veggies without tasting them.
