Laser Decks
Seven is an exhibition of lasered skateboard art which allows artists to explore the idea of lasering away at the seven layers of ply to make their mark on the board.
"A select group of artists globally have contributed their works to explore this new technology. Only 50 will be produced per artist. The aim of the show is to have a series of unique decks that collectors may choose to ride or display."
There's more photos on Flickr too.

Walkman Mashup
Sony's produced an ad under its like.no.other campaign promoting its Walkman. The simple concept? People sharing music. The twist? A song wherein each note is played by one person. The result? An amazing execution, kinda like watching thousands of dominos coming down in sequence without a hitch.
Then the genius of viral marketing takes hold. The Walkman Project is launched which serves as a community and rudimentary sampler where users are invited to submit video clips of themselves playing a piece of the music. Users can then assemble clips together to make their own version of the song. Here's my mix.

Visioneers
The film Visioneers premiers today at the Seattle International Film Festival. The film marks the first outing for brothers Brandon and Jared Drake. And hey, any film starring Zach Galifianakis has to be pretty funny. You might also remember him as The Snuggler.

El Chorro Cliff Trail
If you easily get vertigo, you may want to pass on this. Watching it in full-screen mode is sure to give you butterflies. Video
The path is is called Caminito del Rey which traverses a limestone gorge, El Chorro, in Andalusia in southern Spain. Officially closed in 2000, and you'll see why when you watch the video, it offers access to some of the best rock climbing in Europe.
