A collection of inspirational stuff, that tickles my funny bone, makes me happy, makes me think, makes me horny etc...
In other words these are all mak-nificent to me.

Sometimes you see something and you think, WOW I wish I could do this/made this. Like this one; the giant pinball for Mountain Dew. It’s like skating in wonderland!

To launch three new flavours of Mountain Dew in New Zealand, Auckland’s Colenso BBDO, along with specialist designers, BMX riders and skateboarders, have helped to create a giant pinball machine-shaped skate park. The skateable pinball machine is 600 square feet and contains 40 foot backboards, sensors, sound flippers, lights and an LED screen - with the skateboarders representing the pinballs. The park was built in only 17 days and cost a whopping $500,000 to create. The difficult task of ensuring that lighting, sounds and scoring could work in unison as skaters traversed the park, was handed to Automation Associates, and it was successfully achieved.
