Tropical Hot Dog Night
Why does the word eclectic get bandied around so much? Does everything that’s even slightly diverse have to be considered eclectic? In light of this we can’t use that word to describe Tropical Hot Dog Night. But then THDN is more than just one word, it’s actually quite a few words strung together which makes a welcome change from your average music blog.
Many Same
If you've ever taken a clichéd photo of, say, yourself on a camel in front of the Giza Pyramids or clouds out the window of an aeroplane, you might want to have a look at Many Same - because there's a good chance your photo could be reuniting with its lost brethren.
An archive of universal sameness, Many Same's creator Tim Anderson has probed the far corners of the Internet to find pieces of the same puzzle and has presented it in one mass collection of images, isolated from their original context.

"Bag lady you gone hurt your back, Draggin all them bags like that..."
When it comes to the proliferation of stuff, I'm with Erykah.

Not a plank of dimensional lumber, not a 1998 film about Irish labourers directed by Jimmy Smallhorne, not a Metallica song off Load (1996) or a Blind Melon song off Soup, not an NYC design studio. Sure, these guys with their online t-shirt store have got some competition in the name game but soon 2x4 (the online t-shirt store) will be top o’ that list on Wikipedia.
NowNow Gallery - quiet please
Both the design and the purpose of NowNow’s freshly launched gallery is based upon simplicity. Its white space and careful curatorship (by Thomas Jeppe and Tristan Ceddia of The Serps) provides a platform for both local and international photographers.
Not a site to rush through, NowNow Galleryhas launched with 11 photographers and will be updating fortnightly with artists similarly dedicated to offering fresh perspectives.
Yes Diggity
Sounding a bit like something Ned Flanders would shout over the fence, this Melbourne-based online streetwear boutique is anything but suburban. Rocking an excellent Underware font in their logo for starters, team Diggity stock T-shirts by Orisue, Mad Decent, Obey, Reason Clothing and Self Help among others, with a few exclusives in the mix.
Prophyla-p-tics laptop sleeves
Do you have a rebel laptop? A cute little MacBook or PC that looks so sharp it refuses to wear a case in fear of hurting its good looks? Well, here’s news. According to Dimitri* from Computer Point*, 87% of laptop-related injuries could have been prevented with the application of a simple laptop case.
