Historypin has partnered with Google to take old images and put them over the Google map street view to show the difference. It’s really interesting to see some of NYC’s old neighborhoods and how things have changed/not changed in 100 years.

Levis_JohnLegendPrimaryMicr

Listen to the great track from the Levi’s Pioneer Sessions with John Legend and The Roots!

From the site:

It’s an intersection between two major modern music talents: John Legend, one of the premier R&B singers of our era, and The Roots, the best live hip-hop band in the world. They’ve come together to re-craft an impassioned yet very funky version of Ernie Hines’s “Our Generation,” a lost classic with a message about improving the future that resonates today.

There are some really interesting results coming from the Nike 78 project. About the project:

Creatives involved will receive a brand new pair of NIKE shoes and will be asked to use sport as inspiration to challenge their function.

Our favorite so far is from W+K Tokyo where they built a fish tank out of the form of one of their shoes! More images of the other results at Nike 78.
