A few months ago, an insider informed me that I'd be able to see the GPR50 in Feb.'05.. Looks like the Vancouver launch will be late spring/early summer instead.. It's currently making the rounds in Canadian bike shows.. And getting lots of good feedback..

Check out the Swiss designed and made.. Origami Chair at F.U.W.L... Made of laqured birch plywood.. It has that nice archi-look that I like..

Similar to Tokidoki v.3.0, but more manly.. Terratag infuses the Japanese flavor with Western steelo.. They rock nice T's and art..

Having read the book back in the early 80's, I'm excited to see the movie version of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.. Will hit theatres on April 29 of this year.. DON'T PANIC..

The old saying about Adidas: All day I dream about... shoes.. Saw these Adidas Driving Mocs the other day.. And want them added to my repertoire.. Definitely a shoe that can be worn for different solutions.. Comes in off-white or black.. BTW: Where can I get matching driving gloves?..

A new technology that gives you colored night vision.. Instead of the traditional green haze of current night vision systems, the TNO System enables the user to see in color, by using sampled daytime scenes of the area.. The system helps the user to distinguish the scene in front of them much more quickly..

I'm lovin' the cover of the next issue of Vapors, which was designed by the Maharishi team.. The DPM might make it hard to spot on the magazine racks.. But the extra effort to hunt it will be worth it..

I love watching rally car drivers whip their cars through narrow muddy roads along steep mountainside cliffs with the greatest of ease.. But did you know that it takes over 40 days to assemlble and test these nimble machines before they are ready to race? Take a quick inside glimpse of the assembly of the Peugeot 307 WRC..

Here's another urban e-mag called Static.. This is their premiere issue..

An excellent article from Wired:::Phototrapher Seeks Resolution.. About the Gigapxl Project.. Where a physicist uses a custom crafted ultra-high-grade lens, parts from a U2 spy plane camera and safety doors from a nuclear reactor to fabricate this 100 pound camera that takes super-spectacular giga-hires photos..
The black camera that's poking out the top of the bigger camera is your normal-sized SLR-type camera, which will sort of help you get a picture of how big this camera actually is!..

An interesting online exhibit from the Wurst Gallery called Vintage Vandals.. Where artists were asked to find a framed piece from a thrift store and then overwrite it with their own powers.. Resulting in some nice retrofitted pieces.. Below is an example by Australian artist: Andy Sargent..

Today I highlight two companies that do prototyping really well:

If you're looking to create an action figure of yourself, pass by Gentle Giant Studios, who have an impressive list of clients.. They'll scan your whole body.. 3D print a wax model of you.. Create a mold and cast it.. Then paint it.. And voila!..

If you're interested in creating your own custom vehicle, visit Five Axis Models, who also have an impressive list of clients.. 3d modelling.. 5-axis and 3-axis milling.. Full scale modelling.. In-house glassmaking and painting.. Metal and composite fabrication.. All you need to create your own personal full-sized Hotwheel..
