We all have those friends who wish they could “Copy and paste” in real-life and take more pride over their digital desktop than their physical one. Imagine if those guys ran an office…
Actually, why isn’t life like this?
The terrifying walking war machines of The Empire Strikes Back are back, this time as little puppy AT-AT’s! In this super-cute video, the Star Wars juggernaut makes a return as a household pet. Make sure you have your sound on – the music really makes it.
Fresh (ish) off the back of the Shepherd Fairey’s The Hope marketing posters for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, Obey have opened a UK webstore and – best of all – customers get access to limited UK-only stuff!

Just in case you’re not, the good folks at Ben & Jerry’s have given us some alternative, fun and – above all – tasty party-reminders.
Some people are never satisfied. Not content with visiting an amazing country and marrying his wife while there at Christmas, design-nerd James Brown set his camera up on the window-sill of his Kyoto hotel room and told it to take a photograph every thirty seconds.
It diligently did so, resulting in a fantastic time-lapse video (featuring a strangely mesmerising taxi-rank).
