OzLife: Hipster's in Space!

Funny parody of the hipster scene done by Current TV. So many little hipster quirks in this thing. I'm digging the spaceship though...

OzGo: Redbull Rampage is Done!

So Red Bull Rampage is a freeride mountain bike event that Red Bull puts on. This year was the first time they put it on since 2004. It was the first event of its kind in the mountain biking world. Riders would start at the top of this epic canyon in Virgin Utah and ride to the bottom... Originally the riders would build their own lines down the canyon and the rider with the biggest stunts and most style would take the gold. This year, Red Bull had course builders make the course beforehand. The builders built all the stunts, drops, jumps, etc. The riders would then link them accordingly. These guys were hitting some insane lines and on top of that, lots of guys were throwing tricks in too! Insanity children!

Check it:

OzTech: Dubai to receive world's largest LED screen

Dubai is set to receive the world's largest LED screen. It will be designed by UAE development company Tameer Holding. The screen will act as the face of a 33-story "commercial tower in the Majan district of Dubailand." The building, called Podium, will have 33 levels of "premium commercial office space, two floors dedicated to retail and four floors for parking." The advertisements displayed on the screen will be visible from 1.5km away! I wonder how much those ads will cost to put out...

OzGo: Citroen 2CV by Hermes

Coinciding with my interests of "things with baller craftsmanship" is this classic Citroen 2CV done by Hermes. The entire interior is covered in Hermes leather and canvas with immaculate craftsmanship throughout. The car features a Hermes canvas softop and seats with the rest of the interior done in Hermes leather. Check out the pictures to see the beautiful work.

OzSounds: Kanye West- Love Lockdown Music Video

Here's his new track which I'm sure most people have heard already. He just released his music video on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Still not sure if I like the song yet but it is very experimental for Kanye nonetheless.

OzSounds: Pharrell Williams is a PC!

Sorry for the long delay! Will try to keep this thing recent.

Microsoft's latest "I'm a PC" campaign seeks to put a face and personality behind the PC. They have short video takes from all types of people ranging from big name celebrities to random Microsoft engineers. Pharrell's take on this campaign is pretty interesting and reveals his thoughts on life, technology, and progression.
