I like downing two birds with one rock.. Thats why I like the ToolLogic SLP2.. A knife with integrated waterproof flashlight.. A firestarter stick that sparks hot enough light dry grass on fire.. As well as a built-in safety whistle.. That one serious survival/outdoor tool.. Clip it to your belt.. Instead of putting four different objects in your already crowded pockets..

I love the look of the new JCB HMUV.. Looks like a truck that can go anywhere.. And still take a hit or two..

Check out the work of Two Create.. I especially like their Surface lounge chair.. An assymetrical lounge chair made of bent aluminum sheet.. Covered with carpet..

Via MoCoLoco
Nice CLAMP Light System by Eujin Pei.. Integrated vice and handle.. Soft/cool fluorescent lighting..

I like Jason Thielke's GRAFik style.. Lots of great hand-drawns.. Which gives his work lots of personality.. Tons of detail..

The WIRED XYZ vs. Susumu Hasegawa (HEAD PORTER) limited edition watch (only 200 made) has a durable cloth wristband made from the same stuff as the HEAD PORTER bags.. With gunmetal finished face.. And re-oriented readout.. Altogether a watch with lots of steez.. And if you can read Japanese.. You can check out more deets here..

I remember posting about this 360deg pinhole camera in 2004.. But it's nice to see that the Ovnipan has been improved since then.. A better transport system.. Larger image.. New chrome shutter.. And a new shutter cover which allows you to take on shot at a time on the 6 pinholes (instead of 6 shots all at once) So you can create a collage of images rather than a 360 degree view of a single point in time..

I am loving Cedric Delsaux's photos of Paris vs. The Empire.. Brings the myth closer to reality..

7.13.2006
Donna Piacenza (Jody Work) of Studio 1A.M. handcrafts some interesting rings out polycarbonate.. aluminum.. and deconstructed shampoo bottles.. Gives me an idea for something I want to work on..

7.12.2006
I love Bob Karhof's sequential imaging.. They flow with a dynamic sense and energy that I really like.. And the nice thing is.. The images are taken with cameras that he designed and made himself.. Nice.. (Thanks to Wim Wiskerke for pointing me the right way)..

I forgot to mention..
Encore webmag::July is online.. Truck & Type.. Garage photography by Branislav Kropilak.. Photography by Ahoj Pavel.. Plus mucho more.. Check it..

Create instant speakers out of alternate objects using SoundPads.. Looks like it works best when you stick it to something thin and somewhat flexible.. Some experimentation before adhesion is advisable..

The Tecnica PacMocs look like the perfect pair of shoes to bring with you on your travels.. Lightweight.. Compressable.. Foldable.. Packable (comes with its own travel bag).. Comfortable.. Decently priced (can find them between $50-$30USD).. And have a versatile look..

Use the simplehuman Bag Capsule to create custom sized plastic bags.. Just pull out a bit of the plastic sheet tubing from the capsule and knot the end.. Then pull out the desired length.. Cut it off with integrated cutter.. Place item to be bagged (i.e. stinky wetworkout wear) inside the plastic bag.. Then knot the end.. And there you have it.. You now have your item encapsulated..

I got tired of taking digital photos.. So I designed and built the G73 Pano Pinhole 35.. The prototype is made from foamcore board and found/recycled parts.. It takes panoramic photos which are exposed via a pinhole.. Onto 35mm film.. When taking photos with this thing.. One must use the force and instinct.. Which makes photography fun again!.. Check out the results ..
