LeBron goes to Miami Heats

LeBron DWade Bosh
I just "witnessed" it, LeBron made his decision to play for the Miami Heats. D. Wade, Bosh, and LeBron on the same court is a crazy team. Pat Riley just got the top 3 free agents this summer for a discount price. Challenge now is for Pat Riley to get other players to surround them. I feel bad for Cleveland though, this decision also effects the Cleveland area economically since there will be less seats being filled in Quiken Loans Arena. Miami downtown area will be a boom economically. I’ll definitely go see this trio when I visit Miami and when they visit NYC. Hopefully this team can coexist, this all looks real good on paper for now (remember the Laker team with Shaq, The Glove, Mailman, and Kobe?). I got to salute LeBron though, he picked winning over the money. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m sure everyone knows the whole Tiger Woods scandal by now. This week Tiger made his comeback to the sport of golf at the Masters. People will either have a negative or positive reaction to this emotional commercial. The ad uses Tigers dad to scold him asking him if he had learned anything from his mistake combined with Tigers face looking like he is about to cry. The commercial indirectly addressees the scandal and in a way telling the world lets move one, lesson learned, now buy Nike branded products. Using Tigers dad’s voice was a great strategy, corporate daddy Nike wouldn’t be able to scold him so why not use the real father which almost everyone can relate to. Watch the video after the jump.

Designers doing some crazy things, but this one may just take the prize. For Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2010 show Karl Lagerfeld imported a massive 265-ton glacier from northern Sweden, where over the course of six days 35 sculptors (flown in from around the world) whittled the icy block down to a 28-foot tall frozen landscape. For this brief one-time show, the Grand Palais itself was also kept at subzero temperature for an extra Arctic effect. While we ‘re not quite sure how keen Karl is to the whole global warming situation, his musing to reporters on the issue certainly says a lot: “Have you felt any warming this winter? Maybe that’s all nonsense, who knows.”  More images after the jump.

fearlessWe all have fears of some form, whether it be fear of flying, commitment,  snakes, or height. These fears sometimes prevent us from achieving our goals we put out for our selves. I think part of the reason is the the biggest fear of all which is failure. It’s either we have failed in the past or fear of failing in the future that hold us back sometimes. Make future plans but focus on the present without fear of the past and future. Focus on the present along and the tasks at hand and achieving your future goals will be much easier and enjoyable. Check out the quote below from Louis E. Boone.

“Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: Could have, might have, and should have.”

Koenigsegg Agera_03
Swedish car maker Koenigsegg is unleashing their newest model to the world. The Agera, but its basically an update of the CCX though. Inside the carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb chassis lies the same 4.7-liter V8 as the CCX, but output has increased to 910 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, allowing the 2,832-pound Agera to hit 62 mph in 3.1 seconds and top out at over 242 mph.

Is wall paint the next thing to be obsolete? Probably not but I think this concept of a customizable wall is fresh. The wall was designed by Amirko. Each square on the wall has three sides which can rotate to reveal a different color. It’s just a concept now but I’m sure it will end up in someone’s condo or showroom. I wouldn’t mind having one in the living room. More images after the jump.

I’m sure almost everyone at some point during the course of the day drinks water. And there is a good chance that its bottled water. Those bottled water will get costly after a while. Check out the water bobble, it filters regular tap water into fresh drinking water. By the way, a lot of the water bottling companies out there do just that anyway, take tap water and "purify" it. The Water Bobble is a water bottle made of recycled plastic in a cute shape, courtesy of designer Karim Rashid, and six fashion colors. But what makes it tap friendly is a carbon filter that meets or exceeds NSF International Standard 42, the standard that governs public and private drinking water. The filter should be replaced every two months or after filtering around 40 gallons of water. It sells for $9.95 and will be available from March 1 in multiple retail outlets, including Bed Bath & Beyond, JC Penney, Whole Foods and many others.
