This post is just a round up of some of the cool, interesting stories, videos and news we have found on the web or were just to swamped to cover as individual articles during the week. The March issue of PhotoComment is also being wrapped up to go to print next week. Hope you have a great weekend.

You have seen those adverts promoting diet pills or fancy formulas to help build and tone your muscles right? Now deep down inside you must have know that it is not all as it appears to be but in case you had any doubts the video below which was posted this week by PetaPixel should help change your mind.

Remix
Another great video posted on PetaPixel is found below. It is part of a four part series which talks about Remixing, a theme which a reader (Neill Soden) introduced me to from a photographic perspective. While this four part video series is not directly related to photography, the concept of applying it to photography is very interesting. To see the other three videos head over to PetaPixel.
