Life goes on in Tehran
Thursday, June 12th, 2008
A former LA resident photo documents his new life in Iran.
When I was leaving Los Angeles, many of my friends were worried for me. They thought I was jumping into a war zone. Soon after moving to Iran I shared a few photos with them and assured them that all is safe and normal. But […]
Casulo: entire living room furniture set that fits in a single box
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
All of that fits into this:
More info: Tree Hugger
See also: Birth of the Nuppie
This is apparently only a prototype, they are not available commercially yet. And I expect them to be rather expensive when they do become available. So how might we be able to build our own compact living solutions?
Update: Here’s a video of […]
Wifi detecting Nike sneakers
Monday, May 5th, 2008
A Step in the Right Direction is a sneaker based wearable technology project designed by mstrpln in collaboration with Ubiq boutique.
Once the pressure sensitive insole is activated, the unit scans the surrounding area for Wi-Fi signals and displays the result through LEDs.
The three LEDs on the flap enclosure represent the signal strength of any wireless […]
Banksy and Bristol article in the Telegraph
Saturday, March 29th, 2008
It’s not just Banksy who is getting Bristol noticed at the moment. This year sees the release of new albums by a number of Bristol bands who first came to prominence in the mid-Nineties - Portishead, Tricky and Tricky’s former collaborator Martina Topley Bird. It also looks like being an unusually busy year for Massive […]
Is your child a tagger?

My child? A tagger? It’s more likely than you think!

Social network wars - Facebook & class, Myspace & music, and Friendster’s not yet yet.
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
I’ve been meaning to comment on Abe’s comments on my Myspace vs. Friendster post, but now comes along something else interesting:
Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace by danah boyd.
This is well done and interesting. I’ve got nothing to argue with here, per se. But what’s interesting to me is that Facebook has only […]
Myspace - the next Prodigy?
Sunday, June 17th, 2007
Abe says, in reference to this:
It’s funny to read the tech types on this stuff cause they just don’t get culture. Sure the Facebook app platform is light years ahead of what MySpace is doing, but it doesn’t exactly help you promote your band or your photo studio or your art does it? I’m actually […]
The Obama 1984 ad
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007
Update: I have since changed my opinion of Obama.
This video is pretty representative of Obama’s support. It may help get his base pumped, but does nothing to convince me that he’s actually better. His supporters love him and hate Clinton, but the reasoning is fairly unclear. Mostly, it seems, because he’s much cooler. […]
Warren Ellis’s Black Summer
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007
Warren Ellis is writing a comic about a super hero who kills the president.
Oh, Ellis. He’s so shocking and confrontational. How can you push super hero ethics any further? Oh I know, maybe he could make a comic where a super hero kills thousands of innocent people in order to unite the whole world against […]
iProduct and Team Zissou
Friday, January 21st, 2005
I happen to have a few thoughts about the new Apple products, but for now check this out.
And also have a look at Gawker’s Open Letter to the People Who Want Team Zissou Adidas.
I saw the movie and loved it, but agree that movie tie-in shoes are pretty silly. But I don’t think it’s […]
Cool kicks
Saturday, November 20th, 2004
Saw these at Josh Rubin’s a while back.
And via Adam, these very nice limited edition Pumas that I will probably never own.
How to be chill
Friday, October 22nd, 2004
Memes.org article about the book Be More Chill (via Dr. Hyatt)
Ned Vizzini did, and the squip - a tiny ingestible supercomputer that gives you social advice on the spot (”Be jaded and profane” or “Keep looking her in the face”) - became the centerpiece of his novel for teenagers, “Be More Chill” (Miramax, 2004). To […]

Irregular Times: A Tale of Two Sneakers
I’ve been meaning to mention the No Sweat sneakers for some time. While Adbuster’s “Black Spot” sneaker may never see the light of day, you can already pick up a pair union manufactured kicks.
I like the idea of using union labor in foreign countries to both bring jobs […]
Mod Culture site

Fun site with tons articles, ranging from history to how-tos. Thanks Brenden…
Experiences are the new status symbol
Thursday, April 29th, 2004
From a Trendcentral newsletter from earlier this month, posted here before I forget about it Experiences are the new status symbol and, for many, are becoming more important than products. We?ve seen a shift from wanting ?things? to wanting ?experiences?….
Urban Outfitters is for Dumb People
Wednesday, March 24th, 2004
The "Voting is For Old People" shirt that Urban Outfitters sold was, I think, one of those instances where I think the market would actually have corrected the problem. The shirt was just dumb (I think the "ghettopoly" game is…
Cool t-shirts
Friday, December 12th, 2003
Interesting t-shirt shop: users submit designs and vote on designs, and the highest rated become limited edition t-shirts. I want the one above, but it's sold out. I requested a reprint, though. Oh, all their shirts are on sale…
