MUSIC : THE RELATIVES
November 15th, 2009This is my friend’s band in San Francisco, he was formally in another band called “Rescue Me” which was phenomenal in there sound, production and vocals. Zack has a very unique and intriguing voice that just really gets to you. To some people it has to grow on you, but for me I feel different about it, you’ll find out for yourself. Take a listen!

CHRONOTRONIX V400 NIXIE TUBE CLOCK
November 15th, 2009After seeing this clock, i thought to myself “I would love to have one of these in my house”, but definitely out of my price range, maybe sometime in the future. The clock is a celebration of purist elegance. Its distinguishing markup is the combination of massive cherry wood and shiny black anodized aluminum constituting certain gentility. Imposing reflections on the black surface repeat the full beauty of these rare tubes.
TCHO : HOW TO BUILD A CHOCOLATE BRAND
November 15th, 2009I thought this was a very well put together video, the emphasis on branding, name, layout and type was just astounding. I think a lot of people don’t understand how important all those elements are in a company.
SLEEPBOX BY ARCH GROUP
November 15th, 2009Arch Group’s innovative SLEEPBOX design is intended to provide a comfortable night sleep, the mobile 3.75 m2 unit can be located anywhere people need a place to rest or relax such as airports, train stations, shopping centers, or even in the middle of the streets. “We believe that urban infrastructure should be more comfortable for people,” explained the architects. Rented for between fifteen minutes and several hours, the SLEEPBOX provides moments of quiet sleep and rest from the city as clients can rest on foamed polymer beds, which are equipped with an automatic system that changes bed linen once the client leaves. But a bed is not the only accommodation the SLEEPBOX provides. The unit is also equipped with a ventilation system, sound alerts, built-in LCD TV, WiFi, sockets for a laptop, charging phones and space for luggage. After clients feel refreshed and leave the unit, the automatic change of bed linen starts and the quartz lamps turn on. Clients can pay for the time spent in the unit at a shared terminal, which provides the client with an electronic key.

MY MOTHERS MURDER, TRIAL STARTS NEXT WEEK.
November 14th, 2009The other day I was presented with a call from the DA, and informed me that I would be put on the stand for my mothers murder. It is definitely unsettling to me to have to be put in this situation. I already struggle day to day with the fact that my mother is no longer here. Here is a very old picture of my and my mother. I am unsure really what to say here, but i just wanted to share this story with the world and hope nobody ever has to go through what myself and my family did.
PLEASE READ INSIDE POST! THANK YOU!

MACBOOK BAGS BY VAYARO
November 14th, 2009When i first laid my eyes on these bag designs, I was a bit skeptical for them going anywhere in the market place, because they look a bit to over the top. I definitely dig the Macbook and IPhone case. These bags are very unique and are starting to grow on me.
COCA COLA VELCRO BUS STOP ADVERTISMENT
November 13th, 2009I thought this was pretty interesting of coca cola to do, Grip Bottle in bus stops ad. They are made with velcro, so if you lean or get anywhere near them wearing woolly cloths, you’d get stuck.
The ads were designed to highlight the better grip the new bottles offer. They placed them in bus stop shelters in Paris, ready to rip cashmere sweaters and expensive clothes. But instead of hating them, the French bought 3.8% more of their sugar water.
What I want to see is an image of one of these ads after a week of being there. I can imagine giant balls of dust with cats and drunk people inside.
