Ducati Hypermotard and Multistrada go white for 2009 - Hell For Leather


Ducati Hypermotard white for 2009
I have seen and sat on the Red and Black HMs. The Red is rad looking and the Black is blah. Now this White one has me sold. Just get me my white dual sport helmet with the Mach 5 emblem and we're done and done.

Sticker House

Translation: Peamouth chubs hide behind their large vageenes to avoid capture.
I've talked about blik before, but this is vinyl stickers all grown up. You can even pick the specific color of the design you choose. It's out of Mira Entu Interior is out of Spain, but I'm going to find out how to get it to the US (here specifically).

Nice!


Project CUB/EZ90
I'm looking for a cheep fix for my Hypermotard addiction and this Honda Cub EZ90 from the 90's keeps popping up. It's just a fun trail bike with plastics to make it extra future cheesy, but this guy made it even better. If you find one for cheap, buy it for me and I'll get you back.

1006 Navy Side Chair - Brushed - Design Within Reach


1006 Navy Side Chair - Brushed - Design Within Reach
I am going to have at least one of these chair. Aluminum smelting does use a significant amount of energy, but these chairs are relatively green (according to them).
"Made from 80% recycled aluminum (40% post-consumer, 40% post-industrial)."

Besides, you can't argue with good design.

Old Skool meets New Skool


HULGER US
I hate having to talk on my actual cell phone for too long, so I'm getting the P*Phone by Hulger.
- Plugs directly into MAC + PC
- Plug-and-play, no need for software installation
- Works with all VoIP services (Skype, iChat, GoogleTalk, Vonage, Yahoo, etc.)
- Phone can plug directly into USB*ADAPTOR � ideal for use with laptop when travelling or in a WiFi zone
- Adaptors are included for compatibility with the majority of mobile/cell phones
- Reduces exposure to radiation from mobile/cell phones by around 95%
- Button answers and ends calls on most mobile/cell phones
- Handset Cord Length 1.5 metres

It doesn't hurt that the white ones are 40% off. Yes, it's a bit cheese ball, but that works for me too.

My kinda touring


Honda EVO 6 Concept:
"Take a flat-Six 1800cc Gold Wing motor, put it in a minimalist chassis and give it slick, modern styling—think manga by Morbidelli. There’s a single-sided swingarm and the usual electronic instrumentation... Honda uses its all-new 'Human-Friendly Transmission' or HFT. This may be a jump in transmission technology, using hydraulic pressure to efficiently transmit power. It offers a 'D' position for everyday riding (Driving?), an 'S' position (Sport?) for quicker acceleration and a six-speed manual mode, as well."

The Solution


Swobo Bikes
I wanted to get a road bike, but this might be the closest I can handle.

"The Sanchez is a $599 fixed-gear track bike outfitted with flat bars for the street and the no-brakes, no-coasting fixie groove, but it comes with a "flip-flop" freewheel-compatible hub and a fork drilled to take a front brake."


I'll puss out and get a front brake, because I'm not a hipster bike messenger. And the clincher is that there's a bottle opener in the seat. Here's a review in the Marin Independent.

Touch it


iPod Touch gets official
Finally, all the iPhone goodness without the pesky phone. The mini OSX, Same dimensions except thinner (no phone innards), multitouch, WiFi (interweb), and 8GB and 16GB flash memory($299, $399). Sweet!
For those of you that still want the phone they dropped the 4GB and now only have the 8GB for $399 ($200 price drop!).

Nike + Stuff


Nike Amp - Josh Spear
Here's a kinda cool addition to the Nike+ line. I don't really wear watches and I use an iMojo wristband, but those weren't the case I would probably get this.
At its most basic, the Amp is just a watch; link it to a Nike equipped iPod Nano, and it becomes a full-on control station for your wrist. Integrated into the Amp are all the normal iPod controls that you’d find on your Nano. Press a button, and information scrolls visually across a series of otherwise hidden LED’s embedded just beneath the surface plastic above the controls.

The dishes (read: steaks) are done

Steak Button Thermometers
I need these and for the price of $15, I will have them. Who the hell knows knows the temperature for med. rare? You won't need too anymore.

Getting High: not so bad

Ceiling height can affect how a person thinks, feels and acts
Now we can never move out of our house. Where are we going to be able to afford ceiling like this again?
"When a person is in a space with a 10-foot ceiling, they will tend to think more freely, more abstractly,” said Meyers-Levy. “They might process more abstract connections between objects in a room, whereas a person in a room with an 8-foot ceiling will be more likely to focus on specifics."

Nut Shell


J1 - Schuberth GmbH
I present you a sic kinda open face helmet. And check this Mavrick, it has a internal slide down shade visor. I always hated trying to mess with my sunglasses with cumbersome gloves getting them to fit in the padding. Not to mention it just looks rad.

Don't call it a comeback...


Ducati
I keep talking myself into and out of getting a bike again in the future, and when I do the bike I always come back to is the Ducati Monster. It was a genre shifter for mototorcycles akin to Nirvana for rock and roll. The design is a bit dated, but still looks awesome. This guy has done all the research for me. ER, here I come.
