Have a look at Nicholas Di Genova's Portfolio.. Cool steez..

This aggressive looking Lotus Sport Exige is a one-off custom-built racer.. The combo of a light and agile car (850kg) and powerful racing engine (400hp) will surely bring super quick track times.. No news if a production version will ever hit the streets.. Bummers..

I think that tabi are going to be for coming year what kung-fu shoes were for the eighties.. SouSou makes some nice ones for ladies.. They should design some for men too.. So we can rock the ninja flavor..

Pass by DPMHI.. And shop their online catalogue.. Lots of very nice articles to wear.. And items to display..

I was perusing the GT4 site.. When I stumbled across the Alfa Romeo section.. I love the old 60's era GTAs.. Reminds me of my old ride..

I used to play Counter Strike a lot.. Until the lack of sleep drove me nuts.. Years later, I find it very interesting/amusing that street art has found it's way into CS.. And that CS is still around..

I've always had a fascination with other artists' workspaces.. It's interesting to see the similarities and differences between them all..

I try not to use my cell when I drive.. Having the use of only one arm while driving a manual transmission is not safe.. So I've been looking around for a good wireless headset, and I think I've found it in the Jabra BT800.. Bluetooth.. Backlit call display.. Voice activated dialing..Navigation by easy to use jog wheel.. Multiple ring tones and vibrate alert..Noise-cancel technology.. And will fit either ear..

Slowly picking up steam.. The word 'grafedia' could one day be a commonly used word.. Think of it as hyperlinks out in the real world.. In this way the real world is now connected to the internet by graf! For example, you see the grafedia word of 'golgo73' on a wall somewhere.. You then send a message via your wireless device (cell/pda/laptop/etc.) to 'golgo73@grafedia.net'.. You will then be sent back the media (images/video/sound files) related to the grafedia word 'golgo73' from the grafedia server.. Cool..

Appleseed the movie.. In limited-released across North America.. The storyline is slightly different than Masamune Shirow's original manga.. But still sounds like an interesting story.. Don't forget to check out the trailers!..

Get your latest copy of Vapors at your local newstand.. Dope street art.. Informative interviews.. Skate photography.. New finds.. Good content all-in-all..

From the Weissach test track emerges the Porsche C7S (Boxster Coupé).. Some dub it as the 911 junior.. Taking the best of from both cars.. The rigidity (better handling) of the 911.. Better weight distribution of the Boxster's mid-mounted engine.. Equals faster lap times than the current 911.. I like it because it's sounds like this model is going back to basics, and is a purer sports car.. (via Autocar)..

The Airbus380 was launched today in France with great fanfare.. This super-jumbo will seat anywhere from 555-840 passengers, depending on seating plan.. So big it's tail is seven storeys tall, and it's wingspan is 80 meters wide.. If you like to fly in comfort, then this is the plane for you..

Vistit the Nikelab Restoration Project.. Where Tinker Hatfield, Jesse Leyva, and Tom Luedecke are working on renovating a classic shoe into a new one..

"Vlieger & Vandam bring you a ladies bag line designed to protect the wearer.. The Guardian Angel Series uses the opposite of camouflage by blatantly exposing in 3d relief, either a knife, crucifix, or firearm.. While the Notalaptop Series uses a little visual trickery by making the potential mugger think that you are just carrying a bag of groceries, rather than an expensive laptop..

In the late 1980's, I read this book titled: "Harpoon" by C.W. Nicol. I found it at my local library. It told of a great adventure that took place in feudal Japan (and other locations around the world) in the mid 1800's. I loved it, and it greatly influenced me. Later I decided to read it again in the mid 1990's, when I found out that the author's son was my work mate at JTB. Again, after reading it: I loved it. In early 2001 I went to searching from bookstore to bookstore to buy it, but no one carried it. To my surprise, last week, my wife found a copy for me. I've read it again, and enjoyed it even more. Much gratitude to my wife for getting me the book and to Nicol-sama for putting his story to paper.

CES fresh: Apple presents the Mac mini and the iPod shuffle.. The prior being a half-sized reincarnation of the Mac Cube.. And the latter being a minimalist/displayless flash-memory mp3 player..

Tissot has a nice watch that uses a touch-screen interface. The "T-Touch has your standard watch features + compass, altimeter, barometer. Yes, other watches also have those features, but the nice thing about this watch is the way the info is displayed. With a tap on the screen, the hour and minute hand re-orientate to act as a compass arrow, or altimeter needle..

Looks like the next Batman movie will look into the origins his martial training in Batman Begins.. It also seems like it will portray a more hands-on/industrial-designer kind of hero..

Sometime in 2005.. Jeb Corliss is going to jump out of a plane without a parachute.. And land safely to the ground using his Wing-suit.. Big cojones.. (Story via Gizmo)..

The future of the wheel could be the Tweel by Michelin.. It doesn't need air.. Will last 2-3 times longer than current tires.. Down from 23 components (stardard tire) to 4 main parts (Tweel)..
