After being run off the road last weekend, causing both my passenger tires to basically blow out, I now have a brand new set of Pirelli performance tires ($700 later e__o) and a completely detailed Jetta :)

Vertical Horizons photos by Romain Jacquet-Lagreze
It’s easy to get a measure of a building from afar, but you cant really appreciate a towering city structure until you’ve craned your neck up the length of its spine, admiring the way its reflective edges seem to scrape the sky. Romain’s series captures the behomeths of Hong Kong, from the human perspective of always at their feet. Book available for purchase at hk.asia-city

Maybe im too carefree , or I lack empathy towards my employers, but I am at the point in my life where as long as I am able to pay the bills and afford to do the things I love, I dont care a whole lot what the work is because I dont place much emphasis on work beyond being a means to an end. You should work in order to live, not live in order to work. Always put in a solid effort at whatever you do, but simply living and enjoying life and all its has to offer is far more important in the long run. I’d never trade all the experiences I’ve had, moving across the country and road-tripping just for a security bubble (even if I enjoyed the work.) Who knows, maybe ill have another job next week, maybe ill move to Hawaii next month ! ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE !

Prototype Real / Digital Info Interface System
Using projection and gestures to create interactive relationship with information - video embedded below:
Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a next generation user interface which can accurately detect the users finger and what it is touching, creating an interactive touchscreen-like system, using objects in the real word.
“We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn’t use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology.”
Using this technology, information can be imported from a document as data, by selecting the necessary parts with your finger.

“The mountain are out”
Its seriously hard to top this beautiful city when the sun is shining
Meet the Big Bunch by Gidon Bing. This minimalist cluster of warm bowl shaped fixtures create a wonderful honeycomb effect of molecule like arrangement. There is something in the undertone of this fixture that goes beyond the aesthetics & speaks to a larger idea that the medium through which light communicates can have a voice, not just the light itself. If you believe this.. than this fixture is screaming to be heard and not just seen.

Before and after ! Free stuff is always great, but even more so when you put the work in to restore something you got for free. I found this high end tool box in the dumpster at work, pretty beat up with rust eating almost all the way through in places. Sanded it down, cut off the rusty panels and welded in new ones then acid washed it, primed and painted it with an industrial urethane gloss black finish. Now I have an organizer for gadgets, tools and other things :)
Adventure Time
Oh man, season 5 of Adventure Time has seriously risen to new levels of wtf’rery while also tackling mature concepts way out of the realm of a show typical of its design. I cant help but feel that the creators secretly intended AT to bring out the kid in us all while still wrestling with abstract ideas such as morality, coming of age, emotions and even basic concepts such as right and wrong. It truly is a masterpiece, cleverly disguised in such a manner as to subtly evoke our inner child while still appealing to much more mature sensibilities. It’ll dawn on you slowly, but I can truly count my adventures with Finn and Jake among memories the likes I have not known since childhood.
