For all of us who have unashamedly played the air violin to The Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony wishing you could play it for real, this is for you. Industrial designer and slight genius Carlos Mendez has created an electric violin he calls the Squidolin. You can connect the Squidolin to your television set and it will … Read more
I stumbled upon a pretty flashy pair of Nike Hyper-max’s decked out as an ode to the tennis ball. Not only is the entire shoe fitted with the traditional tennis ball neon yellow but some sections even have an authentic felt texture to bring the look together! Probably not an everyday shoe but perhaps a good look for the … Read more
more about “Kobe and Lebron Puppet Commercial – M…“, posted with vodpod Well it seems even Nike is starting to set the stage for the two MVP’s to meet in the finals. With the Cavaliers’ cake walk to the eastern conference finals and Kobe’s clear dominance in the west I’m starting to think this might actually have the makings of … Read more
You are looking at the $1500 Air Yeezys Gay Fish edition! I normally don’t get down on the Technicolor mash-ups but these seem to have a fresh hypnotic blend of good design and unprecedented hype. So much for the rise of this so called new frugality! For the clinically sane all we see is the RECESSION, Sneaker-heads on the other … Read more
BBQ Fresh Kicks
Its not often that I get to celebrate my home state of Texas so when I came across this collaboration between Supra, Spin Magazine, and Stubbs BBQ for the 2009 SXSW festival in Austin I knew I had to spotlight it. For those of you who don’t now about the SXSW festival it’s an annual celebration of music, film, innovation, and culture that’s hosted in downtown Austin…

This pair is a recent collaboration in conjunction with Tim Burton’s new movie Coraline . … Read more
For the love of vinyl
What do I know about vinyl records? About 45’s and a time when music had the power to spark change and rally a generation? About adjusting the weight of the needle to the A side of a Marvin Gay LP. Truthfully, all I know about vinyl is that they made my father smile and brought … Read more
The humor of simplicity
I don’t know how many of you have heard of Demetri Martin but he is one of the funniest comedians I’ve come across in a long time. The content of his material is extremely simplistic and at times juvenile but what makes it come a live is his impeccable timing and nonchalant demeanor. Mixed with … Read more
The greatest of all time!
The world has been doped into a false since of competition and tradition, where frat houses and college dorms are dawned with ping pong and foosball tables. Somehow they have become the ultimate in game room furnishings and the essential theme of any bachelor pad or hole in the wall bar. But to those of … Read more
Brooooooklyn!
I’ve been meaning to put this up for sometime and now that I finally have my new blog set up I thought it would be good for a quick post. I was fortunate enough to catch the Brooklyn lyricist himself, Mos- Def up close in concert here in downtown Richmond before the break. My man was … Read more
What’s wrong with slow?
So in the midst of my thesis research I came across this photo enhancing application called Poladroid, which takes an image and converts it to the look and texture of a polaroid picture. I love this application! There’s something about that old school, slightly hazy, smoke translucence effect that makes the pictures look incredible. Poladroid … Read more
