Our Favourite DJ @ The Moment: Sotu The Traveller!!!
I can still remember the first time I heard the Sotu The Traveller Remix of Bizzey’s Still Care in Amsterdam! The jazzy vibe, the smooth production and just the overall shazaam he added to an already dope track made us a big fan of Sotu immediately!
Two years later in Istanbul Sotu just happened to walk into our sweet home Lastik Pabuc and we chatted for a while coming up with several projects together. Now, before we hit Istanbul with the amazing DJ he is, we’d like
Spitting Ink – A Documentary About Poetry
http://www.vimeo.com/10037925Once upon a time being a poet was the shit!! Romantic, abstract, sometimes non-cohesive scribbles could move millions of people and most of them would memorize these poems and recite them like we do music lyrics now.

It has finally arrived: The IMDb iPhone App!!!
You might think I’m a big nerd for being so happy with an iPhone app and you might be totally right. When I watch a movie I have to have my IMDb details with me or else I just go crazy. ‘Where do I know this actor from?’, ‘What other movies did this director direct?’ or ‘How old is this girl and is there any possibility I could still breakthrough in Hollywood and date her?’

ChatRoulette 101 by Casey Neisat!!
The social technology hit of 2009 must be ChatRoulette for me! A lot of big magazines and newspapers have written about the phenomenon already but I just wanted to share this cool video by Casey Neisat with those of you who still don’t know what it is! At Chatroulette you chat with random strangers for webcam-based conversations. At any point, either user may leave the current chat and initiate another random connection. This is called Nexting!!!!
And just so you start your day feeling like you have really wasted your life, the site was created by boywonder Andrey Ternovskiy, a 17-year-old high school
