Yet more Olympic flavour, but hold on! It’s not Beijing related bitches and there ain’t no basketball involved – it’s protest art for London 2012. Apparently there is a massive blue fence blocking off places where Olympic construction is underway in London, an eyesore described by Iain Sinclair in the London Review of Books thusly [...]

Color Lovers – has done an interesting feature covering the design of Olympic logos for the Summer Games between 1896 to 2012. Each design with interesting bits of trivia on each Olympics. We love random and useless trivia. We love the simplicity of the Japanese design. It’s so zen. And the colourway of the Munich [...]

Okay, so yet another Olympics related post. BMX racing is not only a nostalgic part of childhood for us Gen X’ers and Y’ers, its the newest sport to be added to the Olympics – making its debut this week in Beijing. I really wouldn’t be surprised that the so-far-terrible Channel 7 Olympic coverage to completely [...]

Okay so it’s Olympic fever, and as apathetic as one can attempt to be, its hard not to get caught up in the Olympics one way or the other. There’s two things in the world I like more than alcohol. One is technology. The other is sword fighting. Olympic fencing, is a bit of both [...]

The guys over at oobject have done an interesting feature comparing the different cauldron designs for [...]

The Olympic limited edition gear launches continue. Nike, Converse and Jordan Brand have combined forces for the special run “United We Rise” series made up of special edition Nike Hyperdunk, Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier II, Nike Air Force 25 Low, Jordan Olympia and Converse Team Wade Signature. The United We Rise concept reflects the push [...]

It’s Olympics time folks – get ready to hear breathless in-depth analysis of gymnastics, synchronised swimming, pistol shooting and other such malarkey from a bunch of tards who haven’t given any of these ‘sports’ or their participants a seconds thought for… four years or so. There is only one reason I’ll be keeping an eye [...]

Remember Monkey Magic?. It was a old 80′s Japanese tv show with terrible english dubbing based on the classical chinese story Journey to the West. If you don’t remember it, you totally missed out. Anyway 80′s childhood nostaligia hit the roof this afternoon at the degourget office, when we saw the BBC’s campaign trailer for [...]
