Round of applause for the bastards over at McIntosh (no, not Apple) for further solidifying the fact that I am a stereotypical male. I have long been proud of the fact that I can get by without video games, traditional sports, big screen televisions, and expensive home audio equipment. Then twice [...]

Adweek covers the launch of ACME. See the quote from David.
“Our agency is really trying to put some best-in-class practices and thought leadership into the space. We still feel like there is a lack-of-thought leadership in [branded entertainment]“, said Caruso.
They seemed more interested in origins of our name over the fact that [...]

Agenda, Inc. has scored another superb find, especially for all of you streetwear kids looking to make the luxury crossover in 2008. In a bizarre, yet totally appropriate use of YouTube, the IMHC, a hotel management school, is using small video files posted online to help their students ’say it right’. [...]

The black/white shoe obsession continues. This time I had to pick up a classic from the past, but one that appealed to my new (or should I say ‘current’
sensibilities. This is the Reebok Pump Omni Lite. These bulky bitches are ultra-comfortable, wide as hell, look oh so nice, and have actually helped curb a [...]

Sung Choi is my new hero. He somehow resurrected Clae and in the process hit me with one of the most pleasant surprises from a sneaker company in a long time. Perhaps I set my expectations too low? Actually, I did not have much in the way of expectations, but from the second I [...]

If you see that car, I guess there is a pretty good chance Pharrell will be the one driving it! Other distinguishing features include:
A friend of mine at Nokia (a product manager) told me that customizing any cellphone is such a way is highly like to screw up the performance. Apparently, all of [...]

I have never actually seen this show, but by the aesthetics alone, I can tell I’d love it. I think this clip is worth sharing, whether you are in advertising or simply forced to view it on a regular basis. It is a perfect example of how to really market a technology product and only [...]

It’s a total toss up between the Ricoh GR Digital II and the Leica D-LUX 3. I recently saw some photos of Nigo lounging with this camera in his hand (probably how Hypebeast spotted it as well). I was immediately attracted to the simplicity. Apparently, it gets rave reviews from real photogs that may actually [...]

My brother recently took a helicopter from island to island in Fiji, which reminded me of my recent experience cruising in a helicopter. Despite the fact that I do not even own a car at the moment, I have always been fascinated with transportation, including helicopters. If you have never had the chance, I encourage [...]
