This was a guys Grad show project titled "A Fictitious Argument Emerges Between Coriolis & Beaufort"

Gift Ideas for a photographer

This little round dynamo folds from a tiny 8” (20cm) diameter to a full 21” (54cm). By using its built-in cover, you can select from five different surfaces – with each one reflecting light onto your subject in a different way. Black absorbs light, solid white reflects light, translucent white diffuses light, silver reflects sharp-edged light, and gold reflects warm-edged light. Super lightweight and quite portable, this little guy can travel everywhere with you and is a great way to toss slightly hyper-realistic light onto your favorite person, animal, or object.

Stussy has gone down a notch/ Surfs up asshole

I'm pretty pissed about this. For two reasons, some may consider my second reason to be the prominent. But, my first reason for not liking this is because one of the boards is a fucking surf board. Fuck Surfers. Surfing is sorta fine if you just do it cause you are at the beach. But otherwise Fuck that, and them. I hate surfers with all my fucking soul. My second reason is its an obvious crap copy of fourstars skate pirate



, I hold that shit close to my heart, Fuck you stussy.

I want one of these Jackets.

Fresno schools and Eee PC's

Remember one of my posts talking about Fresno unified schools buying One thousand Eee PC laptops? Well, they did in fact, they also got them installed with Windows XP and some key windows programs, such as word, and excel I'm sure. Also Eee PC's just released a 2G model. I know I know, 2G, but for a 7inch laptop that is flash memory, and only $399, that is pretty rad. They look so cool.

FedEx

My good friend JohnL works for the leading logistics services company. FedEx is a syllabic abbreviation of the company's original name, Federal Express. I was thinking about them a little today. Their logo is pretty standard, but might have some symbolism that you don't always notice.


It was created by Mr. Lindon Leader in 1994. He was Senior Design Director at Landor Associates, San Francisco. It has won over 40 Design awards. He had to manipulate the fonts "Univers 67" and "Futura Bold." The concept of an arrow is put into the design.

Lack of updates.

I've been pretty sick for the last week or so, and actually am still quite sick.
But, I am determined to update this with some rather interesting entries. I hope you enjoy.

Phone of the fuckin' future !!!

Is the mobile phone really mature enough for brick phones to make a retro comeback? According to the makers of the ironically named Mini MOB, the answer to that is yes. The Mini MOB is definitely designed in the retro brick phone style, but at only 3.5 cm wide, it could probably be considered a scale model. It includes some pretty standard specs -- camera, MP3 player, 128 MB card for the SD slot -- but also happens to have an amazing battery life of 30 days standby, and a full 72 hours of continuous talk time! That's almost enough to get a decent amount of people interested in picking one up, but at £160 ($320+) its not going to be an easy decision.

This is by far the best thing I've seen in awhile.
