I don’t think it is ever going to be possible to beat this amazing, inspiring and strangely moving David Bowie cover. It featured Canadian commander Chris Hadfield covering Space Oddity, which he recorded on the International Space Station shortly before handing over command of the space station to Russia’s Pavel Vinogradov.

Be warned this is horribly addictive plus you can rewind the footage to catch up on the little tikes – the ginger one is so naughty!
Oh it’s the little things in life which make me happy and this is amazing 
PS: Did you see New Girl CeCe in the background – new guest slot?..
Don’t judge me but I don’t even own an iron so doing something like this personally would never ever happen. That said I have been defeated by a tea towel in what I refer to the ironing wars before now so I don’t think it would just be the ownership of an iron which would stop me do you? From a Moscow based agency a fabulous example of how to create a strong viral / image stunt with both subtle AND strong client branding – in this case for the new Philips Azur iron. (via TTG)
Recreating the credits was an inspired way to market the new Simpsons series on Sky (well it was new back in June). Brilliantly done (via BBB).
And who can forget the real life Simpsons House or Kwik-e-Mart, or even the less than glamorous Springfield.
So I got some tweets and then an email from Brave New Ventures with some confusing information on – hoping some of my geekier / clever readers can help figure it out for me. Anyone got any ideas / clues / suggestions? The video above tells me it’s something to do with Secret Cinema and erm that’s all I know… never ever been able to work out their clues.
