Tina Sparkles posted a series of updates from the most recent Austin Fashion Week. There was an entire show of recycled and repurposed fashion. Who says you cannot wear your choice of consumer electronics on your sleeve? The dress above was made entirely from old computer wire. We can’t wait for the day that Geek Squad agents wear similar outfits. And they trim a bit off their hem for on-site repairs.

With our Mad Men craze still going strong, it’s only fair that we should be looking backwards looking forward. Nevermind the logic, just look at these faux vintage social media ads from Moma Propaganda in Sao Paulo. gBlog says they were created for the Maximidia Seminars whose slogan is “Everything Ages Fast.“ Boy does it ever! Except doesn’t the Britney Spears look alike on Skpye look pre-meltdown? And you have to read the copy, the English is pitch perfect noncolloquial vintage funs: “Facebook is the enchantment “next look” in social team ups.”

We already had one look at robotic pet dogs, but filmmaker Patrick Boivin has upped the ante. He turned a toy Imperial Walker into a jedi’s best friend. He’s even polite enough to properly dispose of the jabba. Watch the video below. It’s a wonderful At-At Day Afternoon!

We <3-fully believe that technocuddly pets are the best. And there are plenty of strays still available. If this guy was adopted, perhaps he would not be so gloomy.

As we round the corner to the finish line for the Cultural Capital documentary, watch the latest tester #2 here, we see signs of technocuddly Dubai everywhere. At I.B.M.’s research labs, this Jeopardy clue befuddled the two human contestants: “Toured the Burj in this U.A.E. city. They say it’s the tallest tower in the world; looked over the ledge and lost my lunch.” But the supercomputer Watson bleeped in, “What is Dubai?” Correct! We could have helped out as the Clue Crew with our Burj video.

I often ask myself as we’re editing, What is Dubai?! If only Watson could have helped me out.

Elaine McLuskey invented the “social spheres” speech bubbles so people could chat above the background noise in a noisy pub. Geekologie says they’re astronaut helmets that will help you get the girl or at least the freeze dried ice cream and Tang. They reminds us of Mer-chan’s canversate, where we try to allow intimate connections even in loud, crowded pubs. When you use it, you can actually feel the other person breathing. A cell phone doesn’t support that type of connection. And we’re in love with the girl in the on the right who is dishing the gossip and vibing Beth Ditto.
