Dirt bike enthusiast and daredevil, 87mcmahan87, attached a GoPro video camera to his helmet and posted several videos of himself riding in precarious environments, like on top of a Colorado snowy mountain ridge:

As matter of fact, I used to use a release cable with my first film cameras when I was a kid, since Fujifilm X10 is retro-style camera I was thinking about getting a release cable for it to complete the package, which could take back a few decades to those good times.

It is nice to see a company, which looks after its new customers like that… a little gift goes a long way to built a brand loyalty.

Italian model and designer Anna Utopia Giordano has created Pop Bottles, a tongue-in-cheek art project of kid-themed branded booze bottles topped with rubber baby bottle nipples. For example, Grey Goose Vodka becomes “Hello Kitty Vodka”, Jack Daniels Whiskey is now “Fisher-Price Whiskey” and so on. The complete set of Pop Bottles images can be found at her site.

The author says: the bottles are NOT for sale, they are part of an art exhibition. This is an art project to raise social awareness on topics such as alcohol abuse by teens, alcohol abuse by pregnant women, the disinterest of some parents towards their children (abandoned for days between toys and video games), how far marketers can go to gain the attention of their younger customers. There are no commercial purposes. via Who Killed Bambi? and Got Stuff?
