Kids PMC Ride
Jul 9, 2013
It was a privilege to sponsor this year’s Kids PMC Ride. Over 50 kids diligently got sponsors and rode their butts off as they helped raise over $10,000 to fund cancer cure research. The money will generously go to provide Dana-Farber Cancer Institutes’s doctors and researchers with the necessary resources to discover cures for all cancers.
For more information on the Kid’s Ride program, check out their website.

Planet One
Jun 20, 2013Animation Director Andy Martin has been creating an alien a day at his Tumblr, Illustrated Aliens, and then uses those illustrations to help compose a monthly animated short about what their planet is like. Above, his January 2013 planet, Planet One, where the musical inhabitants get together and get a bit more than they bargained for.
You can find them all here on Vimeo or at AndyMartin.info.
Unlocking the Truth
Jun 19, 2013Meet Jarad Dawkins and Malcom Brickhouse. After meeting at a birthday party when they were four, the twosome started jamming out in their parents basements. But don’t call them a kid band. These Brooklyn metalheads are singing about anything but Fridays and daydreaming about the girl who sits in front of you in algebra.
Rubber Duck Project
Jun 5, 2013For the last month, the kids have been super into Florentijn Hofman’s Rubber Duck in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour. On display until June 9, the Dutch artist’s six-story tall duck has previously floated around waters in Osaka, Sydney, Sao Paolo, and Amsterdam, and will soon be coming to a (currently secret) destination in the United States.
Check out more videos of this awesomeness right here.

From A to B
May 10, 2013This hidden camera adventure through the postal system, From A to B, began when Ruben van der Vleuten wanted to know, ”What happens when you send something by mail?”
So instead of sitting back I started a simple project to actually see it myself. I put a small camera in a box, build a timer circuit using Arduino and shipped it.
That’s as simple as it is. The timer circuit was set to make a 3 sec video every minute and make longer videos while the box was movin: to not miss on the ‘interesting’ parts.
…like conveyor belts! We love videos like this, not only because we get to see from a perspective that we’ve never seen before, but because it would make a great DIY project.
