Love it. Know nothing about it.

I’m not sure what to think of this but I can’t stop looking. Interesting.

The incredible inedible $11,000 camera lens.

Leica makes some of the best, if not the best, cameras around. But their stuff isn’t cheap. Their new lens cost a pretty $11,000. That is just the lens. Expect to pay about $5,000 extra for the camera. Yikes.

This lense is great for lowlight situations. This picture above was taken in candle light. Try that wit any other lens and it will look terrible.

One day, when I have more money than sense, I plan on picking up a Leica. And if I am really rich, I’ll pick up this sweet lens. I’ll also hire a butler to cook my meals.

E Ink Is Hitting The Newsstands

100,000 copies of Esquire’s October 75th anniversary issue will sport the “World’s First E Ink Cover”. This is pretty wild stuff. It will be interesting to see where this technology goes. I assume E Ink is pretty expensive but it will get people’s attention.

My Five Year Goal

In the next 5 years it is my goal to work in London. For all it’s flaws, I still think it is an amazing city with a great advertising culture.

These are some amazing photographs of London. Check out the full-sized ones here.

I want a tattoo

I’ve been thinking of getting a tattoo. Maybe I’m trying to rebel against the man or maybe I am trying to hold on to my youth. I don’t know. I just want one.

I think I’ve found the perfect one too. A statue of the Duke of Wellington. Why you ask? Well, back when I was in college I did a semester abroad in Leeds, England. I had to walk to Uni. every day. The walk was a good 35-40 minutes away from my residence hall. Sure, I could have taken the bus everyday but that is no fun – plus the pound was so strong against the dollar that it would have cost me a fortune.

There was a big park that I would pass through just before entering the Uni. campus. This statue of Duke of Wellington was located right where the campus met the park. I walked buy it everyday. His boots were painted by students. I loved it.

After thinking for awhile I decided this would be the perfect tattoo. Now, I don’t know if it would look terrible as a tattoo but if I can find someone to make it look good I just might get it done. Honestly, I doubt I will ever get this done. I am too much of a wuss.

So Internet strangers, what do you think? Is this a dumb idea?

08AMA Shirt

I love this shirt so I bought it. Even if I was voting for McCain I would still think this was a rad shirt.

Pick yours up from tripple forward shash. They are 20 bucks and $5 goes to support Obama. Win-Win.

Lack of updates…

sorry for the lack of updates. Every few months I get sick of the internet and I take a break for a week or so. I should be posting again soon so please bear with me.

I am the Eggman, I am the Walrus, goo goo g’joob

I found this pretty interesting.

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.

Polaroid – We hardly knew ye

This has been news for awhile but Polaroid is going to stop making Polaroid film. It was costly and the digital camera killed it. But it is going to be sad to see it go.

I guess kidnappers will have to email their ransom photos instead of using the trusty Polaroid.
