Old Spice - Questions (YouTube)#
I thoroughly enjoyed the original, and although this follow-up doesn't have the uniqueness that the first had, it's still pretty awesome. Swan dive! Into the sequel.

Hidden Posters of Notting Hill Gate Tube Station#
The tube station at Notting Hill underwent renovation in/around 1956-1959. During the process they sealed off a portion of the passageways, and left things as they were, including this set of advertisements on the walls, which were only recently discovered.

I'm late to the party on this one, but the original Prince of Persia (the only version I ever played) is available for your iPhone/iPad. You know you want to play it. $1. Bought.

Poison Apple#
This would have been an entertaining t-shirt, except few people would have understood it. (Let's just say, Adobe's Flash and Apple's mobile products don't get along, and there's been more of a stink about it lately.)

Need a beautiful, customized return address stamp? This should be your choice. Hand-drawn calligraphy, converted into a rubber stamp for your convenience (or if you're so inclined, get one for each of your wedding guests, or other options). Very cool.
