Ever wonder how PlayStaion came up with the "circle", "square", "triangle" and "cross" buttons? Teiyu Goto explains how he came up with the buttons in an interview with Famitsu magazine. Read the full article.

INSA, a UK graffiti artist, has taken a unique approach of blending animation with graffiti by creating the above animated gif of his street art. I'd like to apologise if you find yourself going cross-eyed with a major headache while viewing these.

Someone once asked me along time ago if I had a choice, would I choose flight or to breath underwater. I said that I would choose to breath underwater. The ocean holds such an alluring mystery which I just can't resist and if I could, I'd journey to the bottom of the deep, exploring it's many wonderful and often weird underwater world.

These are some of the best underwater photography I've ever encountered that captures the ocean in all it's beauty and mystery.

Dalton Ghetti creates incredible miniature sculptures by carving into the graphite of lead pencils. Amazingly he hasn't pulled out all of his hair in frustration every time a pencil breaks in the process. Some of these sculptures can take several months to create and he's admitted, "It would drive me mad when I would be just a bit too heavy handed and the pencil's tip would break. I would get very nervous sometimes, particularly when the piece was almost finished, and then I would make a mistake. I decided to change the way I thought about the work - when I started a new piece my attitude would be 'well this will break eventually but let's see how far I get. It helped me break fewer pencils, and although I still do break them, it's not as often"

Really talented artist who are all able to take common objects and turn it into incredible pieces of art. It takes a unique imagination to look at a plastic spoon and think, "that would make a great leg of a dog". This is taking thinking outside the box on a different level.

A stree-legal custom built Tron Light Cycle has appeared for sale on ebay for $35,000 US. Built by toy makers, Parker Brothers, only a limited number of five has been offered for sale. Apparently built to the exact specs from the movie, you can get it only in black but with either red, blue, yellow, green or orange accent - which glow neon from behind frosted plexiglass.

What an absolutely ingenious idea. Ideal for all football fans. Would love to see one of the players celebrating a goal with one on in the World Cup.

 This is a great viral of Button and Hamilton trying to put a F1 car together, without engineers. I would have thought drivers would know their cars inside out. I wonder if Michael Schumacher would have been able to put a car together, I bet he could.

Definitely some of the most stunning examples of illustration and typography coming together.

Just stunning! That is how I would describe Norway. I never imagined a place so beautiful. It was perfect in so many ways. The landscape, the people, but best of all, the fjords. There were many times I thought to myself, I could never capture their magnificence. I often stood and just gazed at the spectacular scene in awe. Tall snow capped mountains, that ended in great rivers, streaked with countless waterfalls. I never knew a place existed. I think it's the closest thing to heaven on earth!
