And you thought watching Golden Retriever pups live was cool.... If Golden Retriever PUPPIES are too energetic for your docile brain, have a gander at the pandas on the 24 hour live-streaming iPanda cam at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The cameras were set up by China Network Television as a gift to those who ‘love pandas and crave peace.’ The highly endangered species are recognised as a symbol of peace in China and the network brings awareness about conservation and environmental protection. Watch the magnificent slothful creatures eat, sleep, eat, play, eat and eat until your heart is content. I highly recommended streaming it all day at work on one of your duel screens for maximum stress relief. Ignore the weird looks. Go ahead, get STREAMING.

One of our homies is heading to Bangladesh to document families living on the edge of railway lines in Dhaka, and he needs your help.. Daniel Njegich is a Perth-based photographer who does a shitload of awesome fashion editorials in our magazine each month, and he's just launched a new Pozible project to get himself back to Bangladesh after creating two differnet multimedia projects back in 2011. He explains the return: "I will be there for 3 weeks in January and It will focus on a family within the slum areas of the city who live close to the railway lines however it isn’t so much concentrating on the negatives but showcasing although these people have minimal and live in terrible conditions they tend endure their situation and persevere in the face of adversity." You can check out his Pozible video submission below, then get along to his POZIBLE PROJECT PAGE where donations start from as small as $15.

Youth culture in the late 70's via New Jersey photographer Joe Maloney. In the late 70's Joe Maloney took one for the team and stayed sober enough to operate a camera. The waterparks, boardwalks and arcades of New Jersey were staple haunts of the free living youth and Maloney has captured that time and place in its complete purity. As the years went by his forgotten photographs literally began to fade away as the film negatives deteriorated. Luckily with the advent of accessible scanning technology he managed to rescue this body of work in the nineties. Now after being on hiatus from photography for over 20 years, Joe Maloney has done us all a solid and dusted off these incredible photographs. Without the resurrection of Joe's images, the known world and the history of the final years of modernist photography would be smaller, less defined and certainly - much less colourful.

So this looked like the best exhibition ever.. Last weekend at Los Angeles' Hero Complex Gallery held the Jaws-themed exhibition to end them all. Maybe you're not a Jaws-aficianado like myself, but you've still gotta appreciate rad pop art. I watched the film at about the age of 5 and instead of becoming scared of the ocean it created a deep-seeded fascination with the ocean's greatest predator.

Russell Brand's Revolution is all well and good, but who actually is gonna do anything?. Look, I really actually like Russell Brand. I think he is great comedian with a fantastic capability for verbosity and the intelligence to channel that into legitimate, well thought out arguments. And specifically, he is not really at fault HERE as he explicitly states he is just looking to start a conversation and provoke those more qualified than him into rising their collective fists and charging head-on into battle with the corporations, governments and whoever else gets in the way of the inevitable revolution that is surely going to take place soon. We think. Hopefully. Well, whenever they’re ready really.

Sometimes we think we have really super awesome jobs... then someone like Giovanni pops up and we don't feel so solid anymore. We had a chat to him about his project and got an insight into how he manages to get through each day....
