Nike Air Jordan's - History of Flight



I was never a massive fan of the Nike Air Jordan's althought the 1985 ones are very cool (Have you seen the year 2000 ones? Did they actually release these?). This site is great

Paul Robinson from neighbours

I saw a guy on the way to work that looked just like Paul Robinson from Neighbours! He was wearing dirty tracksuit bottoms which made him look like he couldnt be arsed to look after himself properly. I think people who look even slightly like a famous person have a responsibility to look as shitty as possible so that if someone sees them they will think 'Hey, that was Paul Robinson from neighbours [or other famous persons name here] and he looked really scruffy and ill' Actually things must have gone bad for the real Paul Robinson, beacause after he released that song in the 80's he went missing for years then popped up again on Neighbours, bet that was really depressing for him. Look at Craig McLachlan (Henry From Neighbours) he released the classic 'Hey Mona' then went on to do the hit show 'Bugs' on the BBC, I bet Paul Robinson hates him!

Augmented Reality Encyclopedia



This looks really cool, just think what could be done with this. Its a shame you have to be sat next to a computer with a webcam to use the book fully but its early days yet so who knows (I want holgramatic adverts like the Jaws one from 'Back to the future 2' when the shark jumps out).
