Amazing Rubik's Cube art - http://tinyurl.com/3v6homo
Ok, not digital, but how cool is this? If any of you freelancers get some downtime then I'd love to see your Rubik's rendition of your favourite Futurehead (Myself or Meera obviously!)

Good app vs. bad app
We all know there are really good apps and really bad apps out there so I thought I'd put out some good stuff and bad stuff each week for you all to enjoy (or slag off).

Bad app - http://tinyurl.com/d88p5j2 - An ingenious way of sending messages to each other. Is this an app for apps sake?
