Are you part 'evil genius' and part 'Q' from the Bond flicks?.. If so..
this
book might be of interest to you.. Projects such as a remote
control sniper (control someones tv from hundreds of feet away! LOL)..
and taser (like building your own lightsaber).. are just a few projects
included..
8.28.2006
The Vroom Vroom..
A derivative of the Tom Vac chair..
is the perfect chair to kick back in while playing your favorite
driving game.. I love the classic Gulf
Porsche livery.. Too bad it's a one-off just for Ingo..
8.27.2006
The sharpest civilian camera on the planet.. The GIGAPXL Camera
has expanded its gallery.. Using parts from a U2 spyplane.. This
gigantic camera (Do you see the SLR camera on top of it?).. Takes
photos from afar.. and is so sharp that if you zoom in a hundred
times.. The image is still sharper than your average digital camera..
See for yourself..
Military fighter capability aircraft for the
general public gets another step closer to reality with the ATG
Javelin.. Successful flight tests.. And more design
improvements.. Will result in a lean/mean flyin' machine.. Can't wait
to see the high speed and agility videos in the near future..
And pair the heavy duty sniper rifles with a
really heavy duty knife.. The Strider
Sniper.. 10" inches of stainless steel.. cord wrapped grip..
and Kydex lined sheath.. With autograph of legendary sniper Chuck
Mahwhinney..
8.23.2006
Here are some large caliber sniper rifles that I like..
Barret: XM500..
PGM: UR Hecate
II..
Mechem: NTW-20..
Accuracy
International: AS50..
Fire from wayyyyyyyy out there.. And still pack a wallop when it
reaches the target..
8.21.2006
Kids have always like playing in/with mud.. I know I still do.. But
believe it or not.. kids in Japan have taken it to the next level.. The
shiny balls that you see below are actually made of real mud.. And are
know in Japan as Hikaru Dorodango..
The process is actually quite simple.. But it takes a lot of practice
to get it looking right.. I could really see myself getting into this..
I guess it's time for me to go and find some dirt.. And giv'er!..
8.18.2006
Take the Porsche
Cayman.. And take it to Studio
Torino.. And it comes out looking stunning!.. You get German
engineering with the beauty of Italian design.. Only about fifty of
these to be made..
Great installation.. I'd love to drive down
the street and experience some Speed Arrows..
Like the Need For Speed video game.. But in real
life.. Cool..
Got news from my man Chris..
That Freshjive
will be releasing their Wild Life Series
today.. Draws inspiration from and simultaneously satirizing nightlife
and partying, sex drugs and rock and roll.. Follows their successfull
C.R.E.A.M. and Seditionary lines..
8.17.2006
Via Freshness.. To be realeased at the end of
August.. The Air
Jordan IV Thunder & Lightning Pack.. The yellow w/blk
"Lightning" to be bundled with a t-shirt.. And the black w/ylw
"Thunder" to be bundled with a jacket..
8.16.2006
When I was a kid.. hated the elbow patches.. Now that I'm a bit older..
liking the elbow patches.. Especially the ones on this Kiser
jacket.. Due out this fall..
8.15.2006
Be on the lookout this fall.. For the wave of old-school army jackets..
I particularly have my eyes on this Cobra
Jacket.. Vintage look.. With modern details..
The EasyX
is a modular system.. That uses its own weight to keep the unit held
together.. No glue or screws.. Just the "X" and some gravity..
8.14.2006
I love the work of Adam Haynes..
Nice rugged style.. Captures the all the terrain I ride.. With a
slightly surreal twist..
I also like the art of Gez Fry.. who also
has captured some nice terrain.. With a surreal look as well.. But with
some Japanese flavoring instead..
8.10.2006
Apply now.. And you could qualify for some Special Ops Drivers Training..
which is being offered by Mazda.. J-turns..
high-speed avoidance.. Plus other covert driving skills.. Being taught
by ex-special forces instructors..
8.8.2006
Got a call from my bro earlier this week.. Said he was going surfing on
the weekend.. But to come over anyways to give his fixed
gear bike.. that he just finished building.. a test drive..
So I dropped by and gave it a go.. Man is it ever fast and
responsive!.. Super-stiff frame.. And tight clearances.. Lovin' the
BMW-blue and gold color scheme.. Nice lines..
Time to make one for myself.. The J-Bros ride again!..
8.6.2006
Loving this red
3Rensho fixed gear bike.. As well as this silver
3Rensho fixed gear bike.. Respect to the guys who can rip
through congested city streets on these brakeless speed machines..
8.3.2006
Hot off the summer press.. The August edition of Encore is now
available online.. The best car sites.. Car photography.. Plus the
reliable dosage of design.. illustration.. and more photography.. Good
issue..
8.1.2006
These Sabaku slip-ons..
are definitely better than their hi-top siblings..
