* Interesting idea from San Miguel – this weekend’s Guardian is going to come with an ‘alternative rich list,’ of inspiring people from around the world who aren’t necessarily wealthy rich, but rather ‘life rich’-

* This is another cool music video from OK GO. Here they set off a huge load of explosions and create a mess in 4.5 seconds, then replay it all in slow-motion. Good fun-

 

* Watch the first trailer for Martin Scorcese’s next picture Silence. Looks interesting-

 

* Check out these new adidas kicks that are made purely from recycled plastic fished out of the sea-

* Relive one of the most comical stories in all of football as Ali Dia cons his way onto the pitch for Southampton in a Premier League game. 20 years ago this week-

 Good follow-up piece this week here:

 

* This interesting new spot from the Met Police shows how their new body-worn cameras can help to tackle crime and provide an independent eye witness account-

 

* How beautiful is this? David Pelham and Christopher Wormell have made a pop-up book of Edgar Allen Poe’s classic The Raven

 

* Legendary film studios is going to have another crack at adapting Frank Herbert’s Dune. You might remember David Lynch had a go in the 80s, but it was a bit of a disaster-
