Hello Rewind will take your old T-Shirts and turn them into laptop sleeves. Hipsters take note: This is an entirely new medium with which to be ironic. What are you waiting for?

I feel that perhaps "Awesome Sauce" is used, by me, too often in this blog. You could argue that to delve into hyperbole too often is to cheapen the effect of words like "awesome". Well, fuck that. Here is perhaps the most awesome thing I've ever posted in the category. An all-star send-off to Conan in the form of a wild rompus. Free bird, mofos. Recognize anyone in particular in this clip? Perhaps Ben Harper on the steel guitar? Is that ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons? That wouldn't be Beck, would it? Will Farrell on lead vocals doing his best Van Zandt? Cowbell? Yes, they're all there with the Max Weinberg Band, and a vicious solo by Coco himself. Do not delay. Watch it now.

Takes a while to load, but it is well worth it for those who appreciate irony.

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to the coolest kids show, like, ever. Yo Gabba Gabba is about seven kinds of awesome. Of which I shall recount here:

1) Japanese designer toy inspired characters
2) 8-bit art design and typography
3) Chip tunes
4) Jumpsuits
5) Beat boxes
6) Break dancing
7) The main character is a freakin' DJ

See. Told you it was awesome.

To celebrate the season, I thought I'd post one of the best riffs on the classic Rankin/Bass holiday special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer brought to us by Verizon Wireless. It's a deep stab at poor ole' iPhone and its anemic 3G coverage (allegedly anemic, says this proud iPhone owning editor.) But even this apple fanboy has to give credit where it is due, cause this one is pretty brilliant...right down to voices of the perfect recreations of the classic characters. Speaking of which, anyone else ever notice how similar the Island of Misfit Toys is to Big Gay Al's Animal Sanctuary? Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that the dentist elf was different for more than just his lack of pointy ears. Just sayin.

Very cool little video for this Dublin band, Grand Pocket Orchestra created entirely with paper cut outs. Weeee.

Great song. Better video.

Very Important Pixels is a site after my own heart...dedicated to reducing media icons to their most Lucasartsian interpretations. And then you make a game of it...guess who's who. Above, you'll see a murderer's row of 80's TV heroes. Other categories include music, politics, and movies. Can you guess 'em all?

This is quite possibly the most beautiful game I've ever seen, and it just released on the Wii of all things. I guess you don't really have to be a powerhouse system to deliver awesome 2D visuals, as witnessed here. But it's not the power to push pixels that makes this game incredible to look at. It's the artistry, bringing Japanese folklore and woodcut prints to vivid life. > see more
