Oh no, I’m losing it! Yet another YouTube craze which I’m a bit slow to pick up on (well YouTube isn’t the only site on the internet you know!). So maybe you’ve seen it, maybe you haven’t, either way this is a blast. Back at the end of November 2007, this hit cyberspace…. (pay attention)

Well there are loads of spin offs of these now, the top one is on an official Daft Punk YouTube page, so that makes if official, but it doesn’t give any history about it.

This video here gives credit to the original by mashing the two together.

In my opinion, these are far better than Daft Punk’s original video, done in the anime style of cartoon. As much of a fan of this art I am, I wasn’t all that impressed by that concept for these music videos / film that is ‘Interstella 555’. Read more

I’ve been thinking of getting an engraving on my computer for a while now. Have yet to find a place local that will do this well for a good price. It is a far nicer idea than putting stickers all over it, that’s for sure. I also want to change the colour of the Mac logo, which seems to be a straight forward enough process. iColours are a company in Canada that provide this service, although it is something you can do yourself very easily with some coloured gels.

Anyway, back to the engraving. There are a lot of very cool design out there from people who have bravely put their laptop under the knife. The following are three such examples done to Macs.

Engrave Your Tech are one firm out there who will help you customise your laptop etc with high quality engraving. This design is amazing and shows you the detail that can be achieved with this process.
