Henry Diltz is living the groupie's dream. From his days spent hanging with the band, he's got a collection of nearly one million photographs, capturing the iconic American West Coast music scene from the 1960s - 1990s. From this collection comes CALIFORNIA DREAMING, featuring intimate shots of an impossibly perfect bill of artists including Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Waits, The Doors and Neil Young.

Spanish Talking Watches
We'll be honest. When you look at these watches it's hard to believe they are actually made for the blind. It's like Inspector Gadget and the design team for Casio keyboards collaborated on this puppy. Was that mini-speaker built to amplify the synthy stabs of a Casio demo mode?
No sir, not this one.

The dubious legality of street art doesn't lend itself to being an open process. Which means that the drips, sprays and scrawls which so characterise our laneways and walls is often something of a mystery. But this is about to change as the good folk at OAF volunteer their mural wall for a live makeover at the hands of SheOne.

The ancient Chinese didn't just spend their time building great walls and playing with fireworks. Truth be told, they spent most of their time sipping green tea and savouring delectable Chinese cuisine. Because of this the average Chinese palate became so sophisticated that people soon refused to settle for one-wok-slop, and began demanding elaborate banquets containing myriad of dishes in perfect bite-sized morsels.

It's common knowledge that everyone gets uglier after drinking. We all think we look better, but after a certain point it's a parade of lazy eyes and nip slips. So what happens on the first Saturday of every month which makes 97.34% of people appear above-average attractive in these social pics? The power of the DSLR, even with post-prod, is surely not that mighty.

HEALTHY HALLOWEEN MIX COURTESY OF HEALTH CLUB'S MIKIE
Looking like a zombie mid-week is usually considered a bad thing. It's frowned upon by work colleagues and is taken as indication that you've been a very naughty boy or girl the night before. But with Halloween rearing its costumed head this Friday, frankly, it'd be bad manners not to show up at work looking like the walking dead.
