IOGraph / Mouse tracker
Anatoly Zenkov provides this nifty tool (Mac and PC) to track your mouse pointer. Really simple. Just start it, let it run, minimize the window, and carry on as usual. In the end, you get this image that looks something like a Pollock. Circles show areas where the pointer didn't move while the tracks show movement.
Here are two of my afternoon sessions from the end of last week.

Over the past few weeks I've been crafting a monster spotify playlist...
Its currently over 8 hours in length and nearly 100 tracks. Its perfect to get you through a working day or to stick on when a few friends come over.
You can give it a listen here: [nf]*
It’s a pretty mixed up selection of indie, electro, house and with a few choice rap and 80’s tunes thrown in for good measure. So if you aren’t feeling a few tunes just skip on a bit and hopefully it will keep you rocking all day!
Enjoy,
Ben. X
ps. I’d love to know what you think, or if has anyone suggestions of anything which could be added.
pps. I've also run out of Spotify invites, sorry. Try tapping up a friend ;-)

Stick a finger up at the rain....
Stick a finger up at the rain with this umbrella from the Art Lebedev Studio, Moscow.
This is the umbrella in use on a personal level.
My favourite is from the rains point of view.

Lo-fi lomo
Transformer Film Camera
If you are of a certain age you will recognize this product as a 35mm film canister, but you may not notice that it is also a camera. That’s right, hidden inside this oversized film canister is a 35mm camera, not a digital camera. The camera is a tiny point and shoot that pops open to reveal the lens, flash and film holder inside. the design revives the iconic film canister graphics of the past, giving the camera a nostalgic feeling for those old enough to remember the pre-digital era. the camera’s controls are located on the side and the top
twists to advance the film. The camera also comes in an even more unusual disguise, a coffee canister. See for yourself here.
