I was doing some research on materials/textiles.. And I came across this interesting PDF.. These are Textiles?.. Innovations in modern fabric design.. Manufacture.. and use.. A very interesting read that could inspire you.. For example.. Palmhive Bobble Knit.. a camouflage material that I could use on one of my bag designs.. Hmmm..

These are Textiles? : Palmhive Bobble Knit..

Finally went out to see.. Pan's Labyrinth by director Guillermo del Toro.. Awesome visualistics.. A nice twist of fantasy/horror that takes place in modern times.. Definitely not what I expected.. A really good movie to actually go see in the theatres..

Kenn Munk emphsizes dualities with his customSkullbunny!.. Cute bunny in a dark skullsuit.. The blacked out suit.. The stencil.. And the extra acoutrements really add to the original.. A marvelous adaption to this already sinister looking skullpture..

Light up your life.. or blind someone with the world's first (and brightest) 1,000 lumen LED flashlight.. It's the FoxFury MF 1000.. Uses three high power LEDs.. Rated to 600ft.. Two intensities (33%/100%).. Uses a tap switch at the back of the housing for ON/OFF.. I wonder if those are radiator fins at the head of the unit?.. Must generate a lot of energy.. Wow..

Sorry.  Been sick for almost a week now..  But now I'm back..

And it looks like the big news is all about the iPhone.. A mobile phone.. an iPod (4GB or 8GB).. an internet communications device (email and internet browsing).. and a camera (2megapixel).. All of the above are accessed via a multi-touch screen display..  Very slick performing and looking OS.. However.. I still like the Nokia N95.. because it has a better camera and a tactile number pad.. The only thing it lacks is the the amount of data it can hold (Nokia N95: 2GB vs. iPhone: 8GB).. 

Apple : iPhone..

The Toyota FT-HS is a CALTY designed rear-wheel-drive 400hp hybrid-engined concept car (0-60mph in about 4secs) that I hope will get built in the near future.. Will be revealed this Sunday at the Detroit Auto Show.. Aggressive and functional aerodynamics.. F1 aesthetic.. Retractable roof.. They're aiming to sell this car for about $35,000USD.. Could this be the new Supra?.. We'll have to wait and see..

I'm not a big fan of cellphones (lots of personal reasons).. If you check all my archives.. I don't think I've posted once about a cellphone.. However.. Here is my first.. The Nokia N95 looks to be an all-in-wonder.. Yes it's a phone.. But it's also an organizer that runs Symbian OS.. A web browser with integrated 802.11g WiFi.. Up to 2GB microSD, 150MB internal memory.. Integrated GPS with over 100 country maps pre-installed.. 5 megapixel camera with flash and Carl Zeiss lens.. Takes DVD quality video.. 1.3 megapixel camera on interface side for video conferencing.. Plays mp3 files.. A unique 2-way slider provides access to all these capabilities.. Slide to the left.. And you get the numeric keypad with portrait screen.. Slide to the right.. And you get media controls with landscape screen.. This will definitely free up my pocket space!.. I want it..

Nokia N95 : All-in-1der-phone..

Byroglyphics (cool name by the way).. Showcases the illustrative talent of Russ Mills.. Who mixes real media with some digital twistage.. to produce works of art that I really admire.. Will this be the next Supra?..For about $35,000USD.. It's gonna be a steal..
