Style: Nice Collective Skeleton Key Tie Clip

       With me, uniqueness is golden.  Everyone has to create their own style and be who they are.  Individuality is a beautiful thing.  Well, I stumbled upon this unique accessory over the weekend...and with the right attire or occasion it could be a winner.  Usually it is the cuff links that one can switch up from time to time but this here is a skeleton key tie clip from Nice Collective.  This would most definitely strike up a conversation or bring some life into one's suit wardrobe.

Tech: Battery Drainage? - Sanyo Stick Booster

        Let's face it, there is nothing worse than being out or on the road and your trusty mobile companion is about to loose all it's juice. Whether it be iPod/iPhone, cellphone, mp3 player, or mobile video game device having some back up battery juice is always a good thing.  The Sanyo Stick Booster is just that.  This power source comes with two rechargeable eneloop batteries that can be charged via usb, or optional addons by wall outlet and solar booster.  Unfortunately, like many technologies this will be available in Dec. in Japan only.

Art: Deck Redeux - Art of Leon Thau

       Skateboard decks get trashed, splintered, scraped, and destroyed...they're supposed to, unless your not using it right.  That's exactly how artist Leon Thau's decks were. But instead of giving them the ol' kaboot and sending them to the graveyard he sanded them down, re-coated them and went to work....




....these were the results.

Deadmau5 - Hi Friend: Song For The Weekend

Deadmau5 - "Hi Friend"
   
       I have been keeping Deadmau5 tracks and mixes pumping through my headphones lately.  Cross of progressive house and electro and fatty bass line beats keeps my foot tapping.  "All systems go out on the floor, this is what you came here for..." Deadmau5 - "Hi Friend"

Luxury Lofts at 290 Mulberry - New York

       I have always wanted to be able to live in a loft.  It's most likely just the designer side in me wanting to be able to have a blank canvas and go wild with it.  To have everything set up perfectly to a "T" from the lighting to the furniture, dj charged light fantastic loft parties till the wee hours of the night ,luminous views of the city that make you gaze out at the city lights (sigh)....I could go on and on.  Well, while perusing the web this evening I saw a post reading "Realtors Transform Luxury Loft into Light Show".  Me, enjoying light show fantasticness (have you seen my previous posts?)and having a liking towards lofts,I had to check it out.
