My sister got me the book a while back.. and I must say that it is one of the best graphic novels I've ever read.. It now rests in my wall of cool stuff.. Watching the trailer so far.. I must say that I'm really excited that the Watchmen will coming to the big screen in live action glory..

Lovin' the Magpul FMG9 folding machine gun concept.. You can say the idea came from Stoner's Ares FMG.. but in a more refined package.. Uses Glock parts under the hood.. Folded.. it looks like a flashlight.. then.. keekhchookwahkookhkukh (Transformer sound effect).. It's a freakin' rapid fire nine!..

Really feeling these Alp Horn headphones by WESC.. I'd feel them even more if I had them on already.. Clean look.. not overly bulky.. And the specs show for some clean sound as well.. Type: 57mm PRO drivers.. 1kHz Sensitivity: 119 dB.. Impedance: 60 Ohms.. Frequence Range: 20-20 001 Hz.. Plug: Gold-plated 3.5 Stereo.. Cord: 3.5m TPE.. Weight: 324g..

Here's a really interesting article on The Physical Value of Sound.. It highlights projects by Yuri Suzuki.. who re-twisted the venerable turntable and vinyl LP into new forms that we can experience and feel in a new yet almost familiar way.. especially for us older ones.. Points in case are the Sound Chaser where you take rails made from old records and literally make new tracks that the train will play.. and also the Finger Player where your index becomes the tone arm for the turntable.. feel the groove physically and aurally all in one shot..

Used to ride the mountains with G back in the day.. Nowadays she's got herself a cover shoot in Complex.. and a final season in Galactica.. and more.. Busy lady..
