Hot on the heels of my Zonda-R post.. is another car that has caught my fancy.. It's the Gemaballa Mirage GT :: Carbon Edition.. I think it's the roof scoop again.. LOL.. Go and witness..

Feeling these F-Troupe TC03 boots.. Looks to be part hiking boot.. part mocasin.. Which equates to what I'm assuming will be comfy pair of footwear..

Been waiting for more images on this co-lab..
Stone Island vs. Acronym..
And finally.. here are some photos on the Stone Island Shadow Project.. It has the Stone Island look.. with the pockets/functionism workings of Acronym clothing.. Nice..

There's also a Shadow Project bag.. and it looks like it transforms/changes into different carry modes..

Seen images of this car floating around the past couple of weeks now.. and I've gotta be honest with you here.. I don't really like the other existing Pagani models much.. but the Zonda-R really catches my eye.. I think it's because the roof scoop reminds me of my all-time fave.. and the gold on black also helps.. Oh ya.. Mercedes AMG 6-litre 750hp with 6-speed sequential pushing a lighter body with custom Ohlins suspension is bonus too..

The void in the Kloe chair is a good thing.. It helps you read between the lines.. and gives you an expectation of the coming comfort when you take a seat..

When I was a kid.. I remember designing a car that looked pretty much like the Rinspeed iChange.. The main difference is that this car can change it's shape to accomodate extra passengers when needed..

The seating configuration is similar to a McLaren F1 roadcar.. Driver middle-front.. passengers on each side south of the driver.. When the driver rides solo.. the roofline keeps a tight and low teardrop contour.. This translates into efficient aerodynamics.. When a passenger or two hop along for a ride.. the roof is raised up to accomodate the required extra headroom.. Genious..

Lightweight at just 1050kg.. the 150Kw electric 6 speed motor can propel this vehicle to 220km/h.. and accelerates from 0-100km/h in just over 4 seconds..

This one comes from my man Flynamic (habbertz btw!) who got me into the big fat watches.. well before they became popular in North America..

A new series is coming out this month.. It's called the G-Shock Military-Inspired Series.. The cases and bands are matte.. including the black ion plated buttons.. In Japan.. they are called the Men In Rusty Black Series.. And it looks like the Japanese series gets an extra watch that won't be coming over here.. It's the Riseman :: GW-9200.. Me likes..

I was going to post this a while back.. but forgot about it.. Thanks to Ahnz and Juneten for the reminders..

This guy Theo Jansen is an awesome kinetic sculptor.. He makes some very unique sandcreatures as per the video here.. They rely on the power of the wind to generate their beautiful bio movements.. My favorite is the Animaris Rhinoceros.. The video shows someone pushing it from behind.. but with a strong enough wind.. it will go on it's own..

I introduce to you the AA-12 Shotgun.. This is a bonafide assault shotgun that can send 12-gauge shots at you at 300 rounds per minute!!!.. It can even shoot grenade rounds that can travel accurately towards target up to 175 metres away.. and deliver three types of strikes.. armor piercing.. high explosive.. or fragmentation.. I don't ever want to be on the wrong end of this badboy..

Thanks to C-Zapa for the links..
Back in '83.. the original series blew me away.. 25 years later Macross Frontier continues on with the story.. Watching the first quarter of the episodes so far.. I see some new things.. and some very familiar things as well.. Good continuum..

You can watch the episodes for free here..

This stuff is almost as good as duct tape.. And if you haven't heard of it.. it's called Plasti Dip.. I used it to put a black rubberized coating on some zipper pulls that were a little too shiny and noisy for my taste.. Now my coat looks stealth and I have a more positive grip when zipping/un-zipping.. The coating sticks to almost anything and remains pliable even in cold conditions.. Re-grip old tools.. make ends for frayed rope.. Waterproof parts.. Comes in an assortment of colors.. as well as clear.. Tons of applications.. Very nice material to play with..

Just got myself a Zuca Sport today.. The bag comes in multiple frame and insert colors to choose from.. I chose the black on black combination with non iluminating wheels.. The frame is made from aluminum and has an integrated telescoping handle.. What sets it apart is that the bag also doubles as a chair.. Designed from the ground up.. it is built sturdy.. yet is still light.. It can support up to 300 lbs of sustained downforce!.. Double stacked wheels enable it to handle the tallest curbs without scratching the frame.. With lots of cargo space and internal/external pockets.. this is the perfect bag for me to transport all my work materials around.. and can even have a seat/set up shop anywhere.. Very nice..

This one is mine.. Go get yours..
