Windows Back Door

October 28th, 2009 · No Comments

Hubless Chic

October 27th, 2009 · No Comments

I was cruisin’ Jalopnik and found this to be interesting: a hubless motorcycle.

Oh. Now I get it. Whatever… it looks cool. [...]

Dirty Kicks

October 26th, 2009 · No Comments

I am really into my kicks (sneakers) so, needless to say, I was intreaged and appauled when I saw that a company was releasing and marketing a ‘dirty sneaker’. Not only dirty but pre-dirtied… They are available if you want/need them. According to Inventorspot:
The pre-worn in look is in style today, from ripped jeans, to [...]

CAC War Kitty – Tee
.
This little beat/loop is part of a remix that I am currently working on. At least that is where I stand on it now. There are words to this song… I’ll chop them up and mess with them later. The whole thing sounds a bit trancy but that is bound [...]

October 20th, 2009 · No Comments

The group over at NGF came up with this nifty graphic showing where in the world you can seriously over pay for a pint of beer. They don’t mention what sort of beer you’d be asking for or what sort of establishment you’d be found in. But, they do say this:
