I’m an impulsive buyer, I like the color black, I’ve been looking for a nice digital watch that’s more grown than played out G-Shock and I can wear and beat up on a daily basis. Came across this Burberry Sport Digital Watch and just loved the detail on it. Masculine and yet classy looking. Had to have it. Click on the image to enlarge and click here to buy the watch.

We 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.”
- Louis E. Boone
I know I’m a bit late on this but I just got the magazine. For the third issue of LOVE magazine, editor-in-chief Katie Grand picked the eight women "generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world" and had them photographed all posing in the same position. Grand told Vogue.com, "We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements…the point is that ‘perfection’ is not fixed, timeless or transcendent." Check out the rest of the covers and images after the jump. WARNING: images are NSFW.
The much anticipated Invisible Man mixtape is finally here and available for free download. Here’s a snippet from Feroz’s blog "Invisible Man is my first mixtape. It’s a collection of songs that I made while in the pursuit of my dreams. Only God knows what tomorrow holds, so for today I am grateful to have the opportunity to share this with you. I hope this project tells you a piece of my story and speaks for a piece of yours." First mixtape in a while that I listened to from start to finish. Even the album artwork is nice.

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.

After releasing for almost over a year, videos for Kanye’s "808’s and Heartbreak" continue to come out. This time its for the song Coldest Winter. The video is a haunting representation of one of the most personal songs from 808’s. The video was directed by Nabil who also produced other videos for Kanye, John Legend, Common, Mr. Hudson, and Mos Def to name a few. Check out the video 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.

The hybrid drive system being used by Porsche in its new 911 GT3 R isn’t what you find in your average Prius or Fusion. Instead of a battery for energy storage, the 911 will use an electro-mechanical flywheel. The system being used was actually developed by the Williams formula one team and its Williams Hybrid Power subsidiary.

Blackberry’s, iPhone’s, Palm Pre’s, Tablet PC’s, iPads, these devices still can’t beat out paper and pencil. I love my Blackberry but I still find scribbling random ideas and sketches in my notebook easier and more convenient. Writing down notes also helps me remember things better. There still no computer based or smartphone app that can replace a notebook completely. I usually use a Black n’ Red or Moleskin notebook for my note taking needs. Go get one and start writing, sketching, and be inspired.
Anyone checked out HBO’s new show "How to make in in America" last night? I’m a big fan of Entourage and this show is supposed to be the East Coast version. A story of young entrepreneurs trying to make it in the big city. Bryan Greenburg, Victor Rasuk, Lake Bell, and Kid Cudi will try to win us over. Interesting pilot last night, I think it depicted the hustle of downtown NY fairly well. Also check out the mixtape of the same title.

Last night’s dunk contest was terrible. Gerald Wallace looked real tight and barely got off the ground. Shannon Brown, I have no idea what he was doing. Why did he quit trying the 360 dunk of one leg after one try? Looked like they were all holding back. The skills challenge and 3 point shoot out was more entertaining. Congrats to Nate Robinson though, the dude came out to compete, goes hard every night, and plays with heart. He deserved to win.
If you follow this blog you will notice that the topics don’t follow a certain theme. Constantly changing from topic to topic. That’s me always jumping from one thing to another. With social media outlets being created in a daily basis from so many blogs and news feeds, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and now Buzz, I am constantly surrounded with clutter of information, combined with work things can get very messy. To make things easier I dedicate time to make things simpler and easier for myself, thinking of ways to be more streamlined and efficient. Doing this keeps priorities in check and increases free time. I love my tech gadgets to help me do this but can sometimes create more stress setting up options and troubleshooting. Check out these tips I came across on the web on ways to simplify your life.
Check out this informational graphic explaining who uses the interwebs and some other stuff. Interesting numbers. Some very interesting some not. I need Japan’s internet!! Sadly the US is dead last when it comes to broadband speeds. Check out the whole graph after the jump and video.

Look what showed up. Wasn’t expecting anything to come through the door with snowmegaddon outside. But FedEx dropped of a package from Paris from the Coolcats. It’s the white on white All Gone 2009 book. How fitting since its all white everything outside now. This version is limited to 300 units. The content is on point but seems like the older versions had better text. Then again that could be a reflection of the current state of "streetwear". Book is of great quality as usual made with thick glossy paper an nice hard cover. You will be able to buy the regular white red version over the weekend at ReedSpace.
Joe and Gavin Maloof, the owners of the Sacramento Kings and founders of the Maloof Money Cup unleashed some big news this week. The Maloof Money Cup is adding a New York stop this year at the world famous Flushing Meadows Park. Better than that, this time their going to leave the world-class skatepark for the skaters of NYC. The 1.8 million skatepark built for the event will be donated to the City’s Parks and Recreation Department through their "Adopt a Park" program, the Associated Press reported.
Before you read on, this is not the Carhartt that we know here in the US. This is Carhartt streetwear. Which unfortunately is only available in Europe. The brand stays true to its heritage but for this season there seems to be more effort put into making it more casual pieces such as knitwear, plaid shirts, and printed shorts.

The market is over saturated these days. It seems like brands are popping out of nowhere and current brands entering into new categories. Consumers now have more choices than ever and most of the time these choices are carbon copies with just a different brand name. To combat this monotony companies such as Nike create a way to personalize individual product. More brands have followed suit. Louis Vuitton decides to capture the trend with a customization service of their own. Entitled MyMonogram, customers can now order their own custom template with colors and initials of their choice. This program is scheduled to last 6 – 8 months for now. So better get on it. Did mine. Strictly carry on luggage for this bag. More images after the jump
My boy Jimmy is doing it big in TW. His store Invincible just did this collaboration with Original Fake. I’ve phased out of these types of hoodies, probably from wearing one daily while working at Bape. But the black ones are nice. It’s reminiscent to the Bape chomper and star hoodie. This collaboration collection will be EXCLUSIVELY released at INVINCIBLE (Taipei, Taiwan), OriginalFake at Isetan Shinjuku (Tokyo, Japan), OriginalFake in Aoyama (Tokyo, Japan) and the Freshness Guerilla Online Shop.

According to a recent report, BMW will build a production version of the Vision EfficientDynamics Concept. Great news for hybrid car technology as this car can perform or out perform gas powered cars like the current M3. More images and video after the jump.
Aside from making great tires Pirelli is also know for their annual calendar. This year they teamed up with Terry Richardson. I have no idea what this has to do with tires or selling tires. At least attempts to incorporate tires into the calendar was made. See more images and the making of the video after the jump.

Oh man, just another reason to be hyper-aware of what you say while on TV in this Internet age: Last night, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews awkwardly tried to compliment President Obama and the country at large following the State of the Union by saying, “I forgot he was black tonight for an hour.” Naturally a Twitter backlash ensued, and the video is now all over the net like white on rice.

Just finished watching Steve Jobs unveil the new Apple iPad. One of the most hyped up device from Apple since the iPhone. By the way iPad? Sounds like a feminine hygiene product. Steve Jobs has got to be the best salesperson ever. Hearing him talk up the device just make you want to open up your wallet. I’m not going to go in depth on the device here. Just my general immediate reaction. The iPad is supposed to fit in between the iPhone and a laptop. Overall not too impressed with the device. Nothing breathtaking was really unveiled, just another way to view your media and the internet in a simpler way in tablet format. Basically a huge iPod touch for now. I was hoping it would run Mac OS X. Another disappointment is the lack of multitasking, video or sms capabilities. Should have at least offered it on the top of the line model. A person that already has a smartphone or a laptop really has no use for this device. Furthermore on the Apple promotional videos it is touted as the best web browsing experience, but it can’t display flash media? The only thing that got me really surprised was the pricing of the device and the data plan price with AT&T. It starts at $499 and goes up to $829 and unlimited data and free wifi at AT&T hot spots for $29.99 a month. Great deal with AT&T if you find coverage. The iPad is priced just rite so people at home can buy multiple units. Which is probably why investors are loving the device. But what the iPad though is a great platform. The apps built for this device will probably be what will make it great by the time it is released to the public. Since I am a tech geak ill probably end up getting one.

Here is the third installment to the Poorman Weapon by Converse and UNDFTD. The shoe is executed nicely just like the first two colorways by using blue nylon this time and incorporating removable logo patches. Had to pick these up since I’m a sucker for nylon shoes lately. UNDFTD also made a helmet bag and a bomber jacket which the shoe was inspired from. More images after the jump.
Here is another attempt for product viral marketing. I’m not too surprised that this is from AXE. Just watch the video. No need to explain anything here. It is funny though.
Here is a great video from MIDEM. Check out MIDEM(NET) for great reads on music business. I suggest watching this Q&A with Pharrell and Cornerstone Co-CEO Rob Stone from start to finish. A cool inspirational interview.
Pharrell is taking his music business in new direction with the Cornerstone (Rob Stone) partnership. Click here from my previous post about their partnership.
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”
– Jim Jarmusch

Believing you can be a smarter person can actually make you smarter. This is what the findings on the American Psychological Association suggest. I think believing in something is always a positive attribute to a person since it creates goals to achieve for and the confidence to go get it, thus creating a drive to increase the chances of success. Being smart generally isn’t the thing that will make you achieve a goal. You simply need the drive to make it happen. Read an excerpt from the APA after the jump.
Haiti remains a place of profound need, anguish, desperation and danger, with a few glimmers of hope and slowly growing capabilities to receive and distribute the international aid now flowing in. Sporadic looting, sometimes violent, was met with force by security oficials and ordinary citizens, resulting in a number of further deaths and injuries. The tenuous security situation has led to at least one temporary evacuation of a medical facility, to protect the care-givers. Despite the long time since the earthquake, at least five people were pulled from the rubble alive this weekend, including a young girl trapped inside a supermarket who was fortunately surrounded by food, and survived on fruit snacks. More images after the jump. Warning the some of the images are graphic in nature. Please support with the disaster relief efforts. Text "Haiti" to 9-0-9-9-9 to donate $10 to the American Redcross.

Retail is not what it seems to be. There is no consumer confidence and with no shoppers retailers have no option but to make drastic markdowns, reduce staff, and just close shop.

Growing up as a kid in the 80’s I was a fan of the A-Team. What kid wasn’t back then? Now comes a remake with actors consist of Liam Neeson, Quinton Jackson, Bradley Cooper, and Sharlto Copley.

I’ve made several post already on how Social Media can have a big impact on how we communicate, share information, and market products. The true power of social media can be seen with the large amount of donations raised for the disaster in Haiti. At this moment over $3 million has been raised through text messages, tweets, Facebook, Youtube, etc. If used properly Social Media can be a very powerful tool to get information out for people to decipher and make and impact.
Another point I want to make is that this shows that human nature has a thing for reacting to natural disasters. Whenever a natural disaster has caused widespread destruction the whole human race gets together and is emphatic to the suffering. But why is it that if it is a man made disaster we are less inclined to do something? Ill continue this in a different post.
When it comes to clean white sneakers I usually go with a classic pair of Adidas Stan Smith’s.

A 7.0 earthquake hit the islands of Haiti. There’s devastation and hundreds of lives lost are expected. I went through a 7.9 magnitude earthquake myself in the Philippines back in 1990 so I know that that the conditions over there must be horrible. My thoughts and prayers to the people over there. Several charitable organizations such as the American Red Cross and Fire and Rescue teams from the US are already heading down there to help. To help with humanitarian efforts you can make a donation to the following organizations below. More images and videos after the jump. Warning some of the images are graphic

January 10, 2009 marked the 9th annual No Pants Day. The prank is pulled off by Improveverywhere. This prank has now gone global to 16 countries. Commuters braved the cold as they dropped their pants while they rode the subway systems. Passengers were definitely surprised by this, some offended but more just giggled it off. Check out videos and more images after the jump.
Finally decided to take these out. I’ve had these since December but never bothered to play with them. But a close encounter with landing on someone’s foot while wearing the Kobe V’s made me decide to go with something with more ankle support.

If you have seen Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience then you know who Sasha Grey is. If you haven’t I suggest you go check it out. The movie caused a lot of buzz for the actress. Also if you didn’t know she is adult film actress and possibly shifting to major films thanks to her role in The Girlfriend Experience. Playboy got some shots of Sasha for their December issue.

The Adidas Originals by Originals James Bond for David Beckham Collection is now in its 2010 Spring Summer season. The line does a great job combining sportswear with modern styling. The footwear looks good (the red joints) on the model but they’re not doing it for me. I can tell they were going for the athleisure look on the shoes. At first glance I thought they were Clae Romare’s. The white bottoms have to go on those. Read the rest of this entry »
The Google Nexus One aka Google Phone was released to the public on January 5th. The Nexus One was touted as another “iPhone killer,” almost every phone now that comes out is labeled that. Now that a few days have passed and I’ve got a chance to play with the device I must say I am impressed (except for the music player, I’ll still carry around a Nano with this). I wouldn’t call it an iPhone killer but it will certainly take a bite out of the apple. One thing that I like about the phone is how it syncs everything in the Google world. Since I live in a cloud of Google Apps to host my email, calendar, and contacts this might take the place of my trusty Blackberry once this makes it over to Verizon. The only thing that I might miss from the Blackberry is the BBM and the perfect keyboard. I’m not going to go to a full review there’s already a plethora floating around on the web. Hopefully when this makes it to Verizon the slow web browsing and terrible costumer service from Google is improved. Also has anyone notice the marketing of the phone? No TV ads but instead almost every google ad space has the Nexus One, smart.
*NOTE* January 5 is also the birthday of Sir Issac Newton, who explained the law of gravity when a supposed “apple” fell on his head…
Here is another social networking post. Collaborations aren’t just for clothing, footwear, boutique stores anymore. Facebook and Vitamin Water hooked up to create a new drink. Great marketing campaign for both parties. During the process Vitamin Water garnered over a million followers and Facebook will get its logo placed in the bottle enabling it to reach people wherever Vitamin Water is sold. This is reminiscent to how Ikea used Facebook which I blogged here. I embedded the Ikea/Facebook video as a reference to my sidebar.

Top Gear got their hands on the new Lexus LFA and put it thru its paces. The car looks like it came out of a video game and looks fun to drive. Not bad for a Lexus. But the car is more expensive than a Ferarri. A Lex over a Ferarri? The drive and its exclusivity might make it worth it. And the digital dash is sick. Check out the video after the jump.
I’m late on this one. This ad was ran by BMW back in 2008 for their Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle’s which were used in Greece. Everyone knows by now that sex sells when marketing products. The image is not visually disturbing but its the quote "You know you’re not the first" that puts it over the top. A definite sexual innuendo that a beautiful women has already had sex more than once. Message, BMW cars are so desirable it doesn’t matter if you are not the first one driving it which portrays the woman as used. Not a good message to be sending out.
The Burj Dubai, correction Burj Kharif is has officially opened its doors in Dubai. The building is tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft) topping the Taipei 101. Will this opening ignite the once booming economy in the region? The current economic condition didn’t stop them from celebrating. Check out the video of the opening after the jump.
Photographs by Dan Vezente. Great idea by applying pixels on the lingerie instead of the model’s body. Makes the lingerie more desirable. These photographs were taken for Magielle. More images after the jump.
A giant bluefin tuna fetched 16.3 million yen ($177,000) in an auction Tuesday at the world’s largest wholesale fish market in Japan.The 513-pound (233-kilogram) fish was the priciest since 2001 when a 440-pound (200 kilogram) tuna sold for a record 20.2 million yen ($220,000) at Tokyo’s Tsukiji market.The gargantuan tuna was bought and shared by the owners of two Japanese sushi restaurants and one Hong Kong-based sushi establishment, said a market representative on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose the information.

I came across these images somewhere. I’ve been meaning to post it for a while now. They are from the Official Preppy Handbook by Jonathan Roberts.

Every year around this time people make and attempt to do they New Year’s Resolutions. Some will succeed, some will flame out in the process, and some never even get to start. People procrastinate, or just get distracted. I do it myself, sometimes putting things off or just being side tracked. There have been days when I do nothing just sitting home watching endless movie’s, sit in front of the PS3 and beat COD MW in one sitting, get home at 4am after a night out, waking up as late as 2pm. That’s fine, everyone is entitled to some R&R but after a while it becomes unhealthy and unnatural. I guess what I am saying is to be productive a majority of our time. Sometimes being unproductive feels good and sometimes provides instant gratification but having a productive day will always feel better at the end of the day. To be productive do the following things
I did a majority of my holiday shopping online for its convenient and great deals. I used a combination of Bing.com’s cash back bonuses and a lot of comparison shopping to get the best deals. Looks like I wasn’t the only one as shoppers who has been holding off spending all year unleashed their hard earned dollars. Definitely a good sign after the world suffered for most of the year due to banks collapsing and a recession that spread like wildfire across the globe.
Goodbye 2009 hello 2010. I’m very thankful for everything that has happened to me in 2009 good and bad. Its all about learning and maturing.Make something of yourself, better yourself and don’t cease to reach your goals.

Is print dead? As the ability to carry more information in as tiny space as possible the way we view different forms of media is changing in a daily basis. Instead of having the usual Wall Street Journal delivered to the house I now have it digitally delivered. The popularity of the Kindle has readers turning to this digital reader instead of paper backs. Who knows what the rumored iSlate from Apple will bring to the table. Check out this Bonnier Mag prototype. Video and images after the jump.

Great video of the universe as we know it so far. Reminds you of how little we actually are.
Finally got to see Avatar. All I have to say is James Cameron has done it again. He just redefined what movie making is all about again. The movie incorporates a lot of hidden messages as the war on terror, global warming, love, communication through borders, etc. At some points of the movie however it reminded me of old western movies or Dances with Wolves but in outer space. So there were some bad parts where the story and characters did get a bit boring. But the final quarter of the movie more than made up for it. Since by the time the big battle rolled around I’ve had enough of the Na’vi and Avatar back story. Rest of review, movie images and trailer after the jump.
Sick jacket. Known for their use of premium textiles, Diet Butcher Slim Skin offer a new Blouson Down Jacket utilizing Goatskin leather in a black colorway, accented with silver zippers. Retail tol be set at ¥126,000 (Approx. $1,403 USD). Might be a bit pricey for a goat skin leather jacket though.
