So, there's a new kind of iPad/Smartphone stand called the PadPivot. As accessories go, it looks pretty good and could actually be quite useful. At about £20, not too expensive either. But the difference with this particular accessory is that, whilst stumping up $25 will get you a PadPivot in the end, what that $25 is doing in the shorter term is funding the cost of manufacture upfront...

Its Fitness February (so Steve says). This involves most of RARE trying to get fit for events of the spring/summer. So, we are all going to get moving, some of us running,some of us gymming it....all to the music of our choice, which can sometime be annoying if a random track comes on that has the pace of a snail. This is where this cool app comes in!

One of my favourite artists today is Faile. Always loved and always will love their paste up style... wheat pasting, stenciling and creating environments that are easy on the eye, like the piece below from their Bedtime Stories exhibition. One of their pieces from last year (collaborating with Bast), fused the 80s Arcade nostalgia with wheat pasted walls and arcade machines to create a sweet space to explore. Even the games themselves were adapted to their unique styles. Find out more....

The majority of RARE's staff bike into work on a daily basis. Not a week goes by where one of us doesn't have a story to tell about a near miss on our journey. Obviously we are extremely cautious cyclists...ahem...and obviously we are extremely fashion conscious...ahem..ahem... so we are always loathed to wear cycle helmets even though we do. Well cringe no more and check this out....
