I love a good notebook, and you don’t often get them better than Moleskine. But that’s not all they do.

In this new stop-motion ad shows just how varied Moleskine’s collection is. They’re like an analogue Apple; there really does seem to be a product for every purpose and occasion, and they’re ridiculously pretty.

This simple, clever and lovely ad is timed perfectly for Christmas, and my notebook is on it’s last few pages. I’m just saying…

Amazing skateboard video shot entirely from a moving car on the streets of LA.

I’m a little late one this one, but for everyone wondering what Apples iPhone 5 will be like, the wait is over. Check out the leaked, hilarious and completely fake video.

With the worldwide success of the Avengers movie and Marvel’s history of iconic characters, it’s no surprise that people from every corner of the creative globe have created their own tributes, often from a wildly different point of view from the character’s creators.

Sometime around Christmas, you may have seen Australian illustrator/animator Mel Roach’s reindeer gifs. Well if you liked those, then brace for impact because her latest project Happy Happy Yay Yay has landed! This makes me want to get punched by a rainbow!

Great flamboozles, it’s OUT!

I hope you’re all wearing your iron socks for this!

Happy Happy Yay Yay is now OFFICIALLY on the internet, so be a pal and spread it around. Kapow!

Amazing new video from Absolut, showing what I hope is dog racing of the future. The effects are amazing and the animation of the robotic dogs is mid-blowingly good.

The whole thing makes me rather want a drink.

Great video of the founders of Instagram. Great to see someone putting pride in their work and their own morals before money. Even if Kevin’s version of “less money along the way” is probably still staggering ;)

Cool video from May 2011 given by the founders of Instagram.

Great quote at around 45:30 from Kevin:

I still don’t make as much money as I was offered out of school - the job I didn’t take. I’ve made decisions along the way, that have taken less money along the way, because I love what I’m doing and hopefully that pays back some day.

A few days ago Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion.

I don’t know much about fashion, but I know that this footage of Artec team rider William Hughes carving down the French mountainside in an LED-covered suit like a glowing comet is incredible.

Shot by fashion photographer and film-maker Jacob Sutton, the short film is certainly different from any snowboarding video I’ve ever seen. Hughes is a beacon in the darkness, which highlights the fact that he’s completely on his own as he makes his way down the mountain. At times he’s more Silver Surfer than snowboarder.
