25th October

Play Spent
WEBSITE
A really rather fantastic digital experience created by a charity to highlight the financial struggles of America's poorest families. I hope this wins awards and stuff.

The Ultimate Smartphone Photobooth
VIDEO
Really nice stunt from Qualcomm, to show off the power under the hood of the new HTC phone.

27 Actors Who First Appeared in Miami Vice
LONG ARTICLE
A pretty impressive list...

Grown Men Who Really, Really Care About Subbuteo
SHORT ARTICLE
Seriously, they really, really care

World Cup Draw
TUMBLR
One new footballer illustration a day until the World Cup starts next summer. Really, really nice artwork

The Great Mancession and the Rise of the Manfluencer
SHORT ARTICLE
An interesting look at the rapid increase in men taking on the traditionally female role of doing the shopping and cleaning, as economic struggles leaves them un or under employed, and what that means for brands.

Russell Brand on Newsnight
VIDEO
If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you do, and if you have seen it, well, you probably need to watch it again because he talks so god damn quickly

The Reverse Microwave
CASE OF THE WANTS
Apparently, this reverse microwave can chill a lukewarm beer in under a minute, meaning I would like one please.

Mondo Cane
DOCUMENTARY
Just in time for Halloween, this Italian documentary is one of the first every examples of a 'shock-umentary'. This is where all those strange C4 documentaries come from, although compared to those, this will seem tame, but in the early 1960s, it caused quite the scandal.

And Finally
MAP
Move over Tube map. This map shows every single active railway line in London. Very well done, and surprisingly readable.
