The Way I Are

Matchbook Faces



From what I can tell, there are several series, my favorite being the bunny rabbit above. Poor things don't wanna get lit up. Now I'm thinking maybe I should make one with little puppies.

Moller M200G Hovacraft



Moller Industries, the brainchild of inventor Dr. Paul Moller, announced recently that production would begin on the company's M200G volantor, a UFO-esque hovercraft that apparently can "glide over terrain at 50 MPH." Moller, long known for his work in both hovercrafts and flying vehicles has been working on alternative forms of transportation for 40 years. The futuristic looking craft is driven by the company's Rotapower engines, and can allegedly operate up to 10 feet in altitude. Of course, while Moller Industries offers lots of exciting talk about the future of transportation (as well as t-shirts, models, and investment options) to its customers, the company has never brought a vehicle to market. Clearly, the announcement of a "Jetsons-like" craft may fuel enthusiast's hope (and pull in some escrow cash), but the actual production and sale of the $90,000+ vehicle has yet to be seen.

Salt N' Pepper Lego Shakers


This design from Joel Hesselgren is the most ingenious use of Lego for food consumption that we've seen since the LEGO dragon soy sauce and mayonnaise dispenser. The white column holds the salt while the black column holds the pepper, and the amount of each is regulated by how many of the holes are covered at once. You can get an equal distribution of salt and pepper, a 2:1, or just one or the other. Ingenious, and something we'd actually like to see in buyable form.

Oryx



Made of carbon composite, the handlebars, stem and fork are all one piece, with the ergonomic seat post and saddle integrated into the frame. Handlebars connect to frame via a pivot, and the seat even has a hole in it in case you get taken short while cycling to keep you cool while you work the pedals.
The Y-frame shape means that the Oryx is shock-proof and keeps you in contact with the road at all time, and there is a one-sided fork and chain-stay. The crank is designed like a ring and mounted inside the frame on a couple of ball bearings, and the wheels detach from the bike at the push of a button, a useful time-saver for competitions.

Can't Tell Me Nothing

I like this Music Video!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix


It was for adults than the kids. Less than I've expected. Wand duel was OK. Daniel Radcliffe (I'm not sure I've spelled it right) proved to becoming a good actor. Going to read the next book got me hooked.

Samsung Transformer


See, now if Samsung made a working version of this concept Transformer, they could have easily fended off the hordes of iPhone fanboys. Hell, even if the phone itself was janky, I'd still buy one because it's a freakin' TRANSFORMER. There's a little video of it here.

Gresso MP3 Player


Gresso, a well known company for its African Blackwood mobile phone, a phone made of 200 year old wood. And now Gresso have developed MP3 players, the Symphonia Collection. Again it is made from the African Black wood and the front panel is made of a scratch proof 18 carat gold surface. The Symphonia Collection will be available this year and it comes in 1GB of memory and will be priced between US$4000-$6500.

Vertu


Now that so many cellphones are being targeted to women, luxury phone company Vertu decided to go back to its roots and make a manly phone. The Motorsport limited edition (only 997 phones available) takes its cues from the company’s participation in the Porsche eMichelin Supercup and Porsche Infineon Carrera Cup Asai. Say that 5 times fast why dontcha?
The phone is black and made from liquid metal alloy and oil resistant leather, so it’s pretty tough to mess up. And the sapphire crystal screen could show Apple a thing or two about what it means to be scratch-resistant.
It includes the brand’s dedicated concierge service as well as tri-band (GSM 900,1800 and 1900) with Bluetooth and modem support. Oh, and to make sure it’s worth the $5700 price tag, the company claims it actually ran the damn thing over with a racing car. Eat the rich!

WebTime Elite


The unique butterfly clasp that completes the seamless look when closed making the buckle invisible and unifying the strap as one. Of course under the hood no expense was held when throwing in the Super 2035 movement produced by Citizen Japan.
The Super 2035 is a high accuracy movement with a 4 year battery life, so you can rest assure that it will keep time and you won't have to change the battery till the next decade.To tell the time you look at where the colored line intersects with the number markings.
There are two models available; Aqua (Blue resin) or Satsuma (Orange resin). Both look great while wearing a Suit or just a T-shirt & will add a bit of color to your life.Truly one of the nicest watches available at Tokyoflash.

Introducing Connext



The Connext concept by James Zhang takes that ethos to the extreme. Imagine a device made almost entirely of flexible E-paper able to simulate any interface to suit the given application be it a phone, game pad or video watching. What's more, we're talkin' ultra portability since its flexible nature allows it to turn into a watch.
From a full QWERTY keypad to a watch? That's hot.

Just Wanted...


Just wanted to put this picture on my blog. Beautiful isn't she?

Marvel Comics buries Captain America


I'm a comic book fan and yes, folks, Captain America is dead and buried in the latest issue of Marvel Comics' "Fallen Son," due on newsstands the morning after Independence Day. After 66 years of battling villains from Adolf Hitler to the Red Skull, the red, white and blue leader of the Avengers was felled by an assassin's bullet on the steps of a New York federal courthouse.

The Mickey Player


Designed in conjunction with the Magic Kingdom, this pong sized Mplayer sports the famous Mickey head silhouette. The ears act as your basic player controls with the main power button on the side of the head. Between the ears is a standard headphone jack and on the bottom is a mini USB port for syncing. Although screenless it more than makes up for it in cuteness factor. The Mplayer comes with 1GB of memory and barely weighs 18 grams. MP3, WMA, and ASD formats are supported as long as they're unprotected. No word yet on when or if ever the rest of the world will see the player in stores. For now, it's South Korea only selling for $60.

Singles Across The US


The density of single men and women.
Red represents females, blue represents males.
I once read a newspaper. The article was about single females in Washington DC. There's so many!
