Very nice pair of Nike ACG Okwahns.. The black subtles down the shoe and makes it look more unified.. The white and mint green accents give it the right amount of pop.. Leather upper with ripstop patterned tongue.. Love the outer heel cup..

Check out the Masonry Continental GT widebody.. Custom exterior and interior.. 650hp.. with top speed of 205mph.. and big Brembos to bring it back to zero when needed..

Thanks to my man Jarod for the info.. He will actually be driving the Masonry Audi Q7 in this year's Gumball 3000 which starts in London and ends in England.. Drive hard brah!..

Be sure to check out Jarod's blog for first images of his ride..

Also of interest is the Etón P9111.. This Porsche designed emergency radio is charged via hand-crank.. Tunes into seven short wave bands so you can monitor your situation.. The unit has a built-in LED flashlight.. as well as a built-in cell phone charger.. Very handy device..

Always have been.. and always will be a fan of this car.. Check the Lotus Elise in action.. Light weight and responsive chasis equals fast cornering and hot laps.. Gets my adrenaline pumping just watching it..

Here's a beautiful table lamp!.. It's the Blow Table Lamp by Studio Italia Design.. Although past my personal budget.. It's definitely an object of inspiration.. Chrome and brushed aluminum low-voltage lamp encased in a clear crystal bulb.. One cool bonus feature is that the lamp direction is controlled via an exterior magnet.. which is also part of the piece.. I think I could spend hours just playing with this thing!!! Nice..

I finally got myself some M-13 Assistance.. I wanted to try it for myself before I posted about it.. And I'm happy to say.. That this beverage is functional and really works!!!.. Not only do the contents give me some extra energy / boost / endurance / focus / recovery.. it is nice to know that the ingredients are all natural.. No added sugar or preservatives.. And it still tastes great..
Another thing that appeals to me is the bottle and packaging.. White typography on olive.. It looks like it means business..
I'm gonna go get some more.. For those times when I need some extra fortitude during my serious missions..
Potent stuff.. Highly recommended..

Some nice CFIR updates.. Including some Eames inspired chairs.. In carbon fiber of course!..

Get the full KTM X-Bow design story.. Lots of photos and sketches to see.. and a good story to read.. Slated for early 2008 realease in Europe..

If Japanese typography is of interest to you.. check out..
How to have fun with Japanese characters.. I love how the character above the Swoosh means 'existence' in the kanji set of Japanese characters.. but how it also says 'Nike' in the katakana set of Japanese characters that form the kanji.. Confusing?.. Interesting if you remember your Japanese lessons as a kid..

Dig the Asics Run & Gun Strap 1224.. As you know.. I'm a sucker for velcro straps (easy on/off).. Plus the black ones remind me of ninja tabi.. And like velcro.. ninjas are cool in my books..

A couple of objects of interest from Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto.. The PLAY coffee table which has a sliding puzzle top which reveals a total of sixteen storage cubicles.. AND.. The see-saw bookshelf which puts your books and magazines in balance..

Lovin' the art of David Trautrimas.. What he did was to meticulously search for objects that he could take apart.. then photograph.. then re-assemble digitally.. to produce surreal.. yet familiar landscapes.. Where a cooler becomes a cooler factory.. A toaster evolves into a toaster factory.. and a stapler re-incarnates into a stapler factory.. Nice works David!..

Similar to the Music Porter X (3.31.2007).. However.. I feel that the AK-47 walkie-talkie/phone will appeal more to the "Hulger" types out there.. Comes with built-in 2 megpix camera.. mp3 player.. touch screen.. LCD flashlight.. organizer software.. and old school Chinese army pouch/bag to carry its accessories..

To infinity and beyond.. Well maybe not that long.. It actually took five days of walking to produce the infinity-shaped path..

Chek out this sweet Steadicam scene.. Over three minutes of non-stop muay-thai action!.. No special effect/cuts.. Just one shot.. Straight up.. I wonder how many takes it took to get it right?..Nice choreography between actor and camera by the way..

I remember making a nice hiding place out of a box when I was five years old.. But never something this sweet.. The Cardboard Sound Box is made up of 360 layers of corrugated cardboard.. Square outside.. Organic inside.. Sound system and six speakers are fully integrated within the design.. Nice..

The tees will be available at select Freshjive retailers and limited edition black versions (only 48 of each style) are available now.. exclusively at Reserve and online at .Digital Gravel..

Also go and check out photos from the opening night event..

In a major submachine gun innovation move.. the TDI Kriss Super V is able to fire the large caliber .45 ACP round with little muzzle rise and little felt recoil.. Amazing!!!.. The secret is in having the barrel directly in front of the hand.. as well as with the use of recoil re-vectoring technology which diverts the recoil downwards.. Altogether the Kriss has a muzzle rise that is three times less than an HK MP5 which shoots the smaller 9mm round.. Amazing!!!..

Be sure to check the video of the Kriss in operation!!!..

Here are a couple of kicks from Heyday Footwear that have caught my eye.. New on the footwear scene.. Mixes workboot with some athletic influence.. Keep your eye out and you'll be spotting them soon on the streets near you..

At six inches wider with a lower stance than the standard production version.. The Evolve C30 definitely looks looks brawnier and more capaple than its regular sibling.. Rebuilt almost from scratch.. You can see the F1 aesthetic seeping through.. Sequential twin-turbochargers.. AWD.. 500plus hp.. How do you say "zoom-zoom" in Swedish?..

What impresses me about the FMP3 Watch is not that it plays mp3 files.. has 2GB of internal memory.. has USB connectivity.. or even has a built-in voice recorder.. What is cool about it is that it has a built-in FM transmitter (3 preset frequencies) that allows you to play what is on the watch to any device that is built to receive and play an FM signal.. (i.e. your home stereo or your car radio).. And yes.. although it is slightly thick.. it still looks decent..

If you're interested in an intellectual read about the history of graf and its relation to architecture.. You might want to check out Bombing Modernism over at Core77.. Very interesting..

If you have the power to concentrate on the bike and not the gal.. Then have a look see.. It's the Cafe9 by ACME Rocket Bike.. Based on the Ducati 999.. 375lbs.. 150hp.. 80ft-lbs of torque.. Nice cafe racer styling with a modern twist..

4.3.2007
I like looking at flashing lights.. It gives me a nice soothing effect.. The Pixelator is a very interesting way to achieve this.. Very nice..

Why can't we ever find him?.. Because BigFoot goes ninja and melds with the trees.. Awesome..

Looking to catch some fixed-gear action?.. Then check out MASH.. A movie that follows the riders of San Francisco..
