Very interesting

Whenever I hear the name Christian Audiger or Ed Hardy I automatically think “ugly, move on” but today as I was searching the web I found these tattoo stockings. They’re pretty cool and a nice alternative to an actual tattoo (you know, besides the stick-on ones your little sister got at Chuck E. Cheese). You can find them at DJPremium.com

That’s kinda funny

Soo you know that show Jersey Shore on MTV, right?

No? Where have you been? It’s a show about eight Guidos and Guidettes (Italians) living in a shore house over the summer and all their little shinanigans.

They’re all so proud of being Guidos but the funny thing is they’re not all Italians..they’re not even all from New Jersey. Here, check it out:

  • Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi (NY) is half Chilean adopted by an Italian family
  • Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (Staten Island) is half Spanish half Italian
  • Jenni ” J-WoWW” Farley (NY) is half Irish half Italian
  • Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio (Rhode Island) is half Spanish half Italian
  • Ronnie Ortiz-Magro (Bronx) is half Puerto Rican half Italian
  • Sammi “Sweatheart” Giancola (NJ) said “I am not Italian, but I can understand why some Italians are upset”
  • Vinny Guadagnino (Staten Island) is the only full Italian
  • Angelina Pivarnick (Staten Island) is Polish
  • Tsk, tsk, tsk bunch of damn liars. Lol.

    Not much info

    …but I still like the design of the Vodaphone Head Office in Portugal designed by architects José António Barbosa and Pedro Guimarães of Barbosa Guimarães Arquitectos. It’s beautiful and futuristic.

    Apples on the Wall

    29 Jan

    CHC desgined a library feature wall using the new Apple iPad. With the features of the iPad and customizable applications, there are a lot of things you can do on this wall. “Interchangeable wallpaper patterns and videos are just the beginning, but imaging a giant jigsaw that you can play using multitouch, an interactive aquarium scene, digital graffiti, interactive speaker wall, even a life sized digital bookcase for your iBooks.” Okay, admittedly I wasn’t that excited about the iPad but this is an interesting way of using them. I like it and I like the design of the wall; you know how parts of it jet out.

    That’s all fine and dandy

    Apple’s mythical device was officially revealed today as the Apple iPad, an all-in-one multimedia tablet. The iPad is a super thin design that’s half an inch thin and features a 9.7 inch screen, 3G ($15 a month for 250MB, $30 a month for unlimited), 802.11 WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, 16-64GBs of storage, and an incredible 10 hours of battery life. The user interface is a familiar one if you own an iPhone, think of it as an iPhone on steroids with a revamped user interface to take advantage of the larger screen, complete with compatibility with virtually all your favorite iPhone apps. Standout apps of course come in house from Apple such as iBooks, for reading and purchasing e-books and iWork, for productivity.

    …but I’m not that excited about this. I mean it’s a nice concept and everything but it’s missing a couple of features like a keyboard (not everyone’s pleased with on-screen keyboards), probably a USB and CD drive judging by the thickness, and with the popularity of ooVoo and Skype it would be nice to have a webcam (or maybe not now that I think about it) Before trying to buy this is late March I suggest look at tablet laptops. I have one they’re awesome AND it has a keyboard! Lol.

    I have a later version of this.

    If it wasn’t for the damn economy

    …and all the adults taking teenage jobs I’d have the money to buy these. But nooooo.

    But yeah If you don’t like this sexy white and black colorway with the white specs, I think you’re a little abnormal but, lucky for you new colorways of these Air Jordan IV Retros will be coming out this year. But these go on sale at Footaction for $150 on March 20th.

    I NEED THIS BACKPACK IN MY LIFE.

    Walter van Beirendonck, a Belgian designer, worked with Chris & Tibor on a collaborative bag collection. The collection consists of backpacks and waist bags. The verdict’s still out on the fancy fanie packs (I’m leaning to awesome as well) but the backpack, damn..it’s all conceptual and cool and what not.
