Mutiny bikes was smart (or dumb) enough to fasten a 7D to a remote control helicopter and shoot footage at the new Austin skatepark. The result is unique and really cool.
This video is actually a gorgeous lookbook for fashion designer Stephen Alan’s spring/summer collection from 2010. We’re a little late on getting to this one, but it’s such a beautiful piece of cinematography that time doesn’t really matter. Shot in the waning days of summer, the film features DJ/Actor/Film-Maker Matt Creed and the up and coming...
Alone in the Wilderness is a compelling story about a man named Dick Proenekke who, at the age of 51, went into the mountains of Twin Lakes, Alaska and built a cabin where he lived for several years. He used only hand tools he either brought with him or made himself and constructed a home...
Stuxnet is a highly complex computer virus that was discovered in July 2010 designed to target industrial software and equipment. It was found on computers at an Iranian nuclear test facility and was programmed to remain dormant until it made its way to the computers that control centrifuges that spin nuclear material. It had the...

So, Hipster Collective is officially back. Again. I’ve spent a few months sowing my wild oats with Oh, Pioneer! and What Josh Made… and I enjoyed those for a time, but I realized after a while, that I’m something of what Malcom Gladwell calls a maven in his book; Tipping Point. I love making things...
This is a really nice video illustrating a lecture Sir Ken Robinson gave on the state of education. I didn’t plan on watching a 12 minute video on education, but the white-board animation is mesmerizing, and I believe, totally real.
So you’ve spent the last few weeks enjoying the Pumpkin Spice Latte III mixtape and the fall weather… now you can own a real live copy of that mixtape you love so much! I made a limited run of 10 copies, 6 of which I’ve already given away to a few of my closest friends,...
I love coffee, and I love great design, and there’s just something that happens when the two come together that really gets me excited. That’s what happened when I saw this really cool espresso maker called Presso. It’s a very simple mechanism that allows you to press hot water through the espresso puck at high...
You may have noticed the sticker at the top right of the page bugging you as you scroll around, but here’s the official announcement: the Hipster Collective store is back up and running.
