For all those moments where you needed to diffuse a small army of militants armed with automatic light arms, and terrorists with RPGs. If your ever trapped in a well and you need to rig up an elaborate pully/harness system to aide your escape, you all need to carry the Macgyver Multi tool in your pocket.

Philippe Starck's Veiled watch for Fossil
The one thing that prevents some of us from sporting watches is that they look so, well, watch-y. Catering to straight-up jewelry fans, Philippe Starck's Veiled watch for Fossil appears to be a simple linked cuff to the unassuming eye, but the wearer won't ever be late or lose track of time thanks to the electroplated crystal face that camouflages itself into the band. It'll cost you a $150 wad to trick out your wrist with this illusory timepiece.
Makin' a Crust
We truly live in an age of miracles. Everyone knows when you're eating from a tin of brownies you want an edge-piece, as they have more baked-edge surface area; now the Edge Brownie Pan ensures every square that comes out of the tin is an edge-piece. Can also be used for lasagna, macaroni and cheese, and all those other foods whose textural payoff is in the crust.
Anya Hindmarch bags cause frenzy, divert the message
You may have seen luxury handbag designer Anya Hindmarch's "I'm Not A Plastic Bag" bags around and maybe thought nothing of it other than "okay, obviously you're not a plastic bag, so what?" What you might not know is that at 8am this morning, 15 Whole Foods stores around NYC began a first-come, first-serve sale of 20,000 of these $15 cotton grocery bag alternatives, limited to three per customer. A similar event for the bags in Taiwan required riot police and landed 30 people in the hospital. The Hong Kong sale was so crazy that the cops had to shut down the entire shopping mall. Because of such mayhem, the Hindmarch bag events held in Southeast Asia will resume only on the internet. The real message to not use polyethylene plastic grocery bags seems to have gotten lost in the race to score a limited edition fashion accessory with a luxury brand name attached. Will patrons covet them as trend wear and not as carry sacks for trout, zucchini, and Doritos? It'll surely be "the day" when we witness people exiting the supermarket with pocketbooks in these not-plastic-bags and their groceries in, well, plastic bags.
NBFAG X ADDICT
London womens brand Not Bad For A Girl is slowly becoming the European counterpart to Married To The Mob. We definitely like what we are seeing from the girls.
Now they did not only launch a few new t-shirts in their online store, they also preview an exciting collaboration that will hit shelves Spring/Summer 2008. They got together with one of our favorite UK brands, Addict, to create some Method Zip hoodies. Addict is known for good quality, technical and solid work - that paired with the design skills of Not Bad For A Girl will for sure result in some interesting pieces to look out for.

Woven Steel Wallets
Theo Stewart-Stand's heavy duty wallets don't beef it up in size, shape, weight, or looks, but in performance and protection. These minimal-sleek wallets are tightly woven with industrial steel thread-the same stuff they use in aerospace applications--resulting in a cool-to-the-touch fabric-like weight and feel without the cons of stretching and discoloration.
An added bonus was discovered in the making: RFID scanning blockage. Tech-savvy identity thieves can use concealed scanning devices to burgle your personal and financial info, picking your virtual pocket. Also, if and when those of us in the US are issued with RFID chip-clad RealIDs, the feds'll have us tracked down like branded cows in no time. Stewart-Stand's wallets act as a what physicists call a Faraday cage, shielding out external electrical fields, allowing you to keep your info and civil liberties to yourself, with whom they belong.

Adidas X WeSc
"Licensed as the only release to incorporate the two brands, the WeSC’s Compas shoe is in the style of a old French boat shoe. Full-grain leather on the mid and back sole is balanced by a graphic blue and yellow nylon and is supported by a ribbon of navy suede. Laser-etched on the back is WeSC’s iconic slogan “We are the Superlative Conspiracy” and the tongue features the WeSC two hands logo in gold. The sneakers also come with a change of laces to mix it up."

Taking Womens Hygiene to the next level
Inspired by marshmallow shooters, this air-powered tampon gun turns your feminine hygiene products into high-flying projectiles. Have a shootout between rival tampon brands, or use it as a fun alternative to paintball. The tampon shooter has a range of 10 to 20 feet depending on your ammo and lung capacity. The matching bandolier lets you carry a full “clip” (i.e., box) of 20 tampons, so you’ll never be caught short in the heat of battle.
Full Instructions here.... http://www.tamponcrafts.com/gun.html

After witnessing the terrorist car bomb attacks on Glasgow airport last Saturday, taxi driver Alex McIlveen watched as one of the terrorists, Khalid Ahmed, bailed out of his smoldering Jeep. McIlveen then did what any right-minded citizen should do when faced with a deranged lunatic covered in flames. He kicked the smoking bastard squarely in the nuts:
“Then I kicked him with full force right in the balls but he didn’t go down. He just kept on babbling his rubbish. I couldn’t believe that he was still standing. I know I would have been floored by that kind of kick.”
Police nabbed Ahmed and then they confiscated McIlveen’s Nikes for forensic analysis (and we thought the Swoosh were the top choice for criminals, not heroes). Freedom ain’t free, but taking a man’s shoes just ain’t right! When USC, a local clothing chain, got wind of McIlveen’s story they fronted him a new pair of Lacoste Strobes as a way to say thanks. Next time you see a crispy Jihadi, you know what to do.

Hundreds
"Sometimes I think that the reason why our skate team is so good is because most the guys don’t have cars. When you’re forced to commute between Long Beach and Hollywood via L.A.’s shoddy excuse for public transportation, and a trusty skateboard, you better have your 360 fiips down pat. Aki filmed Ricky and Thomas as they made one of their regular excursions to Fairfax, stopping off at some of the familiar haunts like Seams and Kendo along the way. Enjoy the ride." - Bobby Hundreds
Designer Fruit...
Japan has again shown off one of its greatest innovations - square watermelons. For years consumers struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western island of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. Fashion food To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are hand-picked and shipped all over Japan. But the fruit, on sale in a selection of department stores and upmarket supermarkets, appeals mainly to the wealthy and fashion-conscious of Tokyo and Osaka, Japan's two major cities. Each melon sells for 10,000 yen, equivalent to about $83. It is almost double, or even triple, that of a normal watermelon. "I can't buy it, it is too expensive," said a woman browsing at a department store in the southern city of Takamatsu.

Slip On Outsole
Finally the first draft of the new World Industries Vulcanised Outsole has arrived. things are looking good with only a few minor changes to be made to the thickness outsole to give added strength and the honeycombe/eggcrate midsole for comfort.
We've added the drop in plug for any further logo changes be it a new brand or withing the WI brand. This will ensure the longevity of the outsole...

heheheh "Zorse"
It looks as if someone tried to give a zebra a respray. . . then ran out of white paint halfway through the job. But in reality there is no artificial colouring on display here. This amazing but natural coat belongs to Eclyse the zorse. Her father is a zebra, while her mother is a horse. And she's walking proof of how a child inherits genes from both parents.
WiFi Liberation...
Give Wi-Fi back to the people. The ultimate goal with the Wifi Liberator project is through Open Source distribution, to eventually reach a high enough usage and penetration rate that all pay-per-use wireless networks will begin to free their access to everyone. Since the monetary amounts associated with providing wireless access is inexpensive as the techology becomes more ubiquitous, the need to "charge" for this access is becoming less important and cost effective. Although we are still charged for basic utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and others, the amounts associated with providing internet access are dropping at an exponential rate. This project aims to make this low cost apparent as well as the increasing tensions of keeping people "out" of these networks.
