A Web To Give You Power

The Olympics are extremely important to athletic companies who need to test their latest and greatest performance fabrications in real world conditions. The Adidas Clima TechFit suits may make athletes look like they just walked off the set of Aeon Flux but there's a lot of design behind the suit.

Designed to optimize bodily efficiency in energy expenditure, reduce oxygen consumption, and muscle energy output, the Clima TechFit suits utilize special compression strips strategically "webbed" across the body linking appendages to the body's center mass. By doing so, the body's energy is more efficiently distributed giving the athlete that split second edge that he/she may need to win gold.

Sounds great to me. I wish I had the chance to wear one of these suits. I also can't help but notice the position the model above is taking. I know it's angled that way so you can see the web but DAMN, that's a really hot photo. And by the way, that isn't just any ordinary model, that's German Olympian Alexander Wolf.

New York '06 F/W - Cloak

What if a bunch of male fashionistas enrolled into MIT? Would would they look like? What would they wear? That's where designer Alexandre Plokhov took his Fall/Winter '06 collection for Cloak.

It would seem Plokhov has left behind his usual gothic characterizations for a more constructed clean look evoking collegiate professors rather than urban goth rockers. Although the style may have changed, the level of design and detailing are still there. The silhouettes are still close to the body but they are sharper and tailored. Materials have moved away from leathers to tweeds, woolens, and crepes.

I love this collection. The shoes are beautifully designed; worn covered or pants tucked in. The jackets are simple and have that slightly worn look to them which makes everything so damn comfortable looking. Certainly, Cloak is one of the best American menswear labels to come out in a very very long time.

The Jacknife

I wasn't sure what a jacknife exactly was or how it applies to this bike. After a quick google image search, I guess a jacknife is a foldable knife and that's exactly what this bike does. It's just a concept by two designers trying to achieve a minimal design aesthetically and mechanically for easy and low maintenance.

Visually you can tell how this bike is far more minimal than your typical bike, but how is it mechanically minimal? Look closer and you'll see there's no chain system. The bike is powered by hydraulics. The power delivery is more consistent with no wear and tear since you eliminate the need for chains and gears.

I'm not a bike person but I'll gladly take one. BUILD IT.

A Robot Shark For You

Got a 100 bucks to blow? Why not get yourself a remote controlled robotic shark?

A full 2 feet long, the robotic shark has a full range of motion to replicate the smooth, sleek swimming of one of nature's most impressive predators.

It's able to gracefully maneuver up, down, left, right and even backwards through water in depths up to 9 feet. The shark can swim up to 40 feet from its remote unit which is also submersible allowing you to swim with your shark.

Now for the negatives. The internal rechargeable battery pack is only good for 15 minutes before it needs to go back for some more juice. It'll take one hour to fully recharge. Fortunately for those who are impatient, you can buy a separate battery back to keep your shark going for a full half hour!

I foresee lots of mean jokes being played on people with this thing. I can't wait for the first round of those videos to appear on google or you tube. :) CHEERS!

Bubo

It's a crazy lookin' owl that has magic powers. It can cast spells to take over any electronic device that has a remote. Bought a new electronic device? No problem. In time Bubo will learn to control it too.

Who's it for? It's for little boys and men who want to prove themselves masters of their world.

I didn't write all this. This came straight from the company's website. I kid you not. If you're totally confused, it's just an electronic owl that looks for IR signals around your home. By constantly trying different codes, it will eventually figure out which one controls which device, kind of like a universal remote. The fun part comes in when you get more than one. A battle can ensue to see who's owl is more "IR powerful".

Cat Paws

MAN, the Japanese are WEIRD! Smart cookies they are but this new toy... er umm, device, is a cat paw with a switch on the handle. When pressed the paw bends. What's its purpose you ask? Well, just take a look at the diagrams and you decide, would you buy one? I know I would. :) Maybe the Japanese just know how to get to that sick and twisted dark side we are all suppressing.

Child's Play

Children of the Playstation era have grown up in a totally different world from that of what most of you have. A recent focus group (the second of 2) conducted by Electronic Gaming Monthly reveals that these kids have no respect for many of the video games we hail as all time classics and yet to be matched by any of today's hyper realistic games. So what gives?

The kids were all shoved in a room and asked to comment on many of yesteryears console and arcade classics. Their responses shocked so many of EGM's older readers, the magazine was flooded with letters and emails regarding the kid's lack of respect from where games came from and blamed today's uber realistic graphics brainwashing them to go for aesthetics over innovative gameplay.

The games the kids were asked to play were;

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out (Nintendo Entertainment System - 1987)

Adventure (Atari 2600 - 1978)

The Legend of Zelda (Nintendo Entertainment System - 1987)

Star Wars (Arcade - 1983)

Defender (Arcade - 1980)

720º (Arcade - 1986)

Grand Theft Auto (Playstation - 1998)

Gunstar Heros (Sega Genesis - 1993)

Galaga (Arcade - 1981)

Street Fighter II (Arcade - 1991)

The general comments from the kids were about the simplistic graphics. They seemed unable to focus on actual gameplay when characters are represented by simple dots. Many of the kids haven't even seen what some the characters looked like outside of their current 3D form. In the first focus group, one kid commented about how the original Mario looked so weird because he was flat. Another kid asked what buttons to press to make the blocks in Tetris explode. When the interviewer explained to him that you can't make them explode, the kid became totally disappointed and dismissed the game.

I am only 25 and still game nearly daily, but I still recall the feelings I got playing the "classic" games. I am from the Nintendo generation and the Playstation generation is only one after mine so in a way I can still see where the kids are coming from. However, I wonder what many of you, whom are from the Atari and Colecovision days, think of the articles.

Skiwear Armor

A fascinating little tidbit that perked my fashion and science interests. The US and Canadian winter Olympic teams have skiwear with d3o incorporated into them.

So what is d30? It's a thin material that can be worn under or integrated into almost any fabric that acts as body armor when its molecular structure is disturbed.

The secret material is a synthesized mix of viscose fluid and a polymer. Under normal conditions, the molecules are weakly bound allowing the body full range of movement, but when the material senses a sudden deformation, the chemical bonds between the molecules interlock and tighten forcing the molecules to lock to each other changing the surface into armor shaped to the area of the body it resides on.

The technology is amazing when you think about how fast it has to react; within milliseconds. After initial impact, the bonds loosen and the fabric is once again soft and flexible.

Now if only I could get the company to send me a sample. :)

Even More Stars To Look For

Astronomers have identified a new type of cosmic object they've named RRAT (rotating radio transients). To simplify, it's basically a neutron star left over from supernovas except with one major difference; these stars pack almost twice the mass as our own sun but in a space of a small city.

RRATs are similar to pulsars which steadily emit energy every second as they rotate. However RRATs only emit something every 3 minutes to 3 hours. The erratic behavior could be explained by energy being unable to escape the star's dense core.

Of course, nothing else is known about them but if they really are the left overs of supernovas, perhaps the energy they emit could give clues as to how old or how recent the supernova was.

Nintendo DS TV and Browser

So yesterday Nintendo put together a little press conference to announce a digital TV turner AND an internet browser based off the very powerful Opera browser.

With both these products being directly supported by Nintendo, this officially pushes the DS into the realm of multimedia. Although its function is and will always be primarily gaming, it's nice that consumers now have options to expand their system.

The TV turner will only work in Japan (DOH!) not because Nintendo doesn't want to release it in Europe and America, it's because we aren't as fast as the Japanese. In Japan they have digital signals transmitting from the ground, hence the system's name, "ground tv". The interface is simple. The lower touch screen gives you all the controls schemas while the top screen shows the channel you're watching.

On the other hand, the browser will be released world wide and works in conjunction with Nintendo's free Wifi service. The Opera browser has been specially designed to take advantage of the system's unique specs. The bottom screen provides you with your controls, tabs, and multiple page views while the top screens shows content scaled or magnified.

Now obviously comparison with the PSP is inevitable and even tho the PSP comes with a built in browser (not fully web compliant like Opera is), it's still cumbersome to input text without a touch screen or keyboard attachment (the DS owns the PSP in that respect). Also, the PSP doesn't have enough built in cache memory so you are often faced with page rendering errors. The DS has even less memory so how will it overcome that challenge?

Although Nintendo hasn't confirmed this but I believe the answer lies in the little Gameboy cartridge slot. Nintendo has confirmed the browser application will be purchased separately and comes in a Gameboy cartridge. A cartridge has MORE than enough memory for caching and since there is no latency time for information to pass from cartridge to system bus (about the only advantage a cartridge has over optical media), I can see the DS using the cartridge as the "cache". Take it a step further and the cartridge could also remember recent visits, tabs, and even allow full stream of multimedia such as quicktime, WMV's, and maybe even flash? The possibilities are there.

So now I'm totally excited and more than willing to get a new (another DS). I now have to go spend some time with my original DS so he doesn't feel lonely and outdated.

DLP Rear Projection Who?

While Samsung, Panasonic, and LG are busing trying to best each other with the largest plasmas they can make, Mitsubishi sneaks in and shows off the worlds first xvYCC rear projection tv. So what makes this different from current DLP rear projection systems?

Instead of being lit by a bulb, this tv uses lasers; three to be exact - red, cyan, and green. Lasers are far more accurate than bulbs and do not shift in brightness over time. That means a consistent crisp image with lots of contrast finally putting rear projection tv's on par with the best plasmas and LCDs.

The other major advantages are it's still less expensive to manufacture, more energy efficient, and possibly a longer life span.

I don't know what advances plasmas are going thru (other than size) but with the imminent coming of larger OLEDs (supposed replacement of LCDs), the tv battles are going to get very interesting.

Next Step In Interface Design

Jefferson Y. Han demonstrates what I believe to be the next step in interface design before we move into three-dimensional immersion. Multi-Touch Interaction Research is a flat screen that can sense simultaneous points of touch and allow real time manipulation of objects and sounds. By eliminating the keyboard and mouse, we remove the "middle man" making it easier to directly access content. We are tactile beings and the action of touching, manipulating, and accessing with our hands comes naturally. Simple gestures such as dragging and scaling objects are easily understood by everyone and opens the doors to truly accessing and creating information more quickly and efficiently.

Make sure you check out this video to appreciate the possibilities.

American Cement Building

I drove by this awesome building in Los Angeles and immediately did some research to find out what it was. It's called the American Cement Building - an old chocolate factory from the 1960's converted into lofts. The architecture is beautiful. The exterior grid surrounds a glass facade facing downtown Los Angeles. I can only guess how much it must cost to live there. It sort of reminds me of Toyo Ito if she were forced to stay geometric.

Sweden Says No To Oil

Sweden is joining the short but growing list of countries with plans to be completely oil independent. Iceland is almost already totally oil independent but wants to take it a step further by promising all of its energy will come from solar and geothermal power and its transportation system powered by hydrogen. Brazil plans to completely switch to bio power made from sugar cane within 5 years. In Sweden's case, the country of over 9 million wants to switch to renewable energy sources by 2020.

It may sound like an easy order for a small country but that's just 15 years away. The amount of planning and investment necessary is staggering.

Analysts say Sweden is in a better position to make a switch so quickly because the country was hit hard during the oil crisis in the 70's. Almost all of the country's electricity now comes from hydro, nuclear, and geothermal power. Fossil fuels are only imported for transportation. Sweden's plan is to invest heavily in fuel cell and recyclable energy to cover its need in lieu of expanding its nuclear operations. I applaud them for that.

This is in sharp contrast to the United States whom is "addicted" to oil and the Bush administration plans to ween the country off oil by reinvesting in nuclear power which many analysts believe is just prelude to greater waste problems in the future.

I am in no way an eco-nut but I have to applaud Sweden for taking such bold steps. The country is one of the most advanced nations in aeronautics, telecommunications and soon, renewable energy. If anything I think the US needs a lesson from the rest of the world but it will have to be from someone closer to home. Perhaps "America Junior", our great neighbors to the north can set an example for us.

NOTE: "America Junior" is not meant to be derogatory in anyway to our neighbors in the North. I just felt like using that phrase after hearing it on an episode of the Family Guy.

I've been keeping my eye on this project called Exactitutes by Rotterdam based photographic team Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek.

The duo have been photographing different social networks and groups noting the striking dress codes between various groups. The image above are of SKINHEADS in Europe. Although many of them do not live anywhere near each other, the style of their social group is defined enough that it transcends distance.

Dog Biters!

biter (adj.) - copier, follower
i.e., "He is such a biter, he copied my outfit."

Well lookie lookie. It seems a developer is working on a new game for the Sony PSP called "The Happy Dog Life". You can choose your dog, take photos of him/her, decorate your home, play with your dog, and download new accessories. Sound familiar?

Now I'm not saying this is a crappy cheap copy of Nintendogs because other than this one screenshot, I know nothing about the game. Certainly a dog simulator on the more powerful PSP could be interesting.

What I will say is many wrote off Nintendo when it announced Nintendogs. If competitors are now coming up with similar games, then it proves Nintendo's point; create fun innovative games and you can bring in people who normally don't play video games. Being the best game doesn't mean hyper realistic graphics. It means gameplay mechanics. My PSP is itchin' for a good game so lets hope this one's it.

True 3D Image Projection

Scientists and researchers at Japan's National Institute of Advance Industrial Science have developed a device that uses lasers to project real three-dimensional images.

Until now, projected 3D imagery was an artificial optical illusion due to the parallax difference between the eyes. That's why prolonged viewing of them causes discomfort.

The new device uses lasers to focus light at points in space thru a lens. The light ignites nitrogen and oxygen in the air to create focus. Currently the device can only project single points of white light 2-3 meters in the air, but their movement is infinite and is only limited to how fast light can travel.

As laser technology improves, the scientists hope to create color images and eventually displays of video media.

This thing is so cool, even I friggin' want one. It's a baby pacifier with a built-in thermometer. Poor babies. Sounds easy to use too. It beeps when the reading is done. Good luck trying to get it out of the baby's mouth tho.

On a side note a friend, who shall remain nameless, pointed out how "cool" of an accessory this would be for ravers. Now I understand some ravers take "enhancing treats" to elevate their experience use pacifiers to prevent from grinding their teeth, but I find the idea a little disturbing.

Of course to my friend's comment I replied;

"People still rave?"

This one's a point and click game and it puts you in the shoes of a young girl name Ozawa Rina whom sets out to investigate dreams and their paths.

Obviously a Japanese release but here's hoping Nintendo brings this beautifully styled game over to the west.

70% of San Francisco's downtown outdoor space is dedicated to private vehicle, while only a fraction is allocated to the public realm.

Ugobe Pleo

Still coping with Sony's decision to kill off Aibo, I see a light at the end of that tunnel and it's from a start up called Ugobe.

Ugobe develops revolutionary robotic technology that transforms inanimate objects into lifelike creatures (Aibo did that), exhibiting stunning, organic movement and dynamic behaviors (Aibo did that too).

Although they are a start up, they've recently announced their first product - a robotic baby dino called "Pleo". How cute is that! He's a Camarasuaurus, runs on Ugobes "Life Form OS" and receives sensory touch by way of 38 motion and light sensors (Aibo did that as well). Pleo moves with 14 servos and acts like a baby dino (assuming we know what baby dinos acted like). Pleo twitches, sneezes, sniffs, yawns, chomps, coughs, blinks, and interacts with people and his environment. And just like Aibo, he has an SD memory slot; perhaps for upgrades? Maybe hacks to make this Little Foot into a T-Rex.

Comes to market this fall for under $200.

BIX

Designed for the Kunsthaus Graz in Austria, BIX is a permanent light and media installation by realities:united architects in Berlin.

The structure consists of an acrylic glass facade on the eastern side of the building with a matrix of 930 fluorescent lamps integrated into the skin.

The biomorphic structure often animates with a rippling of lights making it appear as if it's living. The possibilities extend further since each lamp's brightness can be adjusted to display different images forming a giant low resolution screen.

You can watch the documentary video here to get a better perspective.

Paris '06 F/W - Miu Miu

If time and style existed in a symbiosis relationship, what would the young boy in the scouts look like all grown up? Or maybe a boy that used to ride horses and attended military academy. Those questions resonated in my mind as I watched Miu Miu's Fall/Winter line strut down the runway.

Miu Miu has always been for the younger man and I've always loved the clothes because they seem designed for a more realistic figure. You can tell from these photos, the clothes aren't designed to exaggerate height nor are these models super tan and chiseled. The look like the geek and nerd once shunned. The clothes help exude a sense of intelligence and resourcefulness as opposed to sex and virility other menswear lines tend to latch onto.

This Fall/Winter, the clothes are tailored but seem worn (a trend that seems to be seeping into menswear). The trousers tucked into boots had an equestrian flair. The elongated tops and jackets shortens the legs making these models look shorter. Combined with huge stylized hiking boots, they really did look like grown up boy scouts. Give them a pair of black Prada clear lens plastic frames and I think you may have hit my G-spot.

Sietze Kalkwijk and Joris Laarman designed a Herman Miller Aeron Chaise, commissioned by Berry Friedman. Their Aeron version is inspired by American consumerism. The design is targeted at a growing group of Americans who watch up to 9 hours of TV a day.

Of course I want one and the nay-sayers will have you believe it is yet another product aimed at profiting off how fat and lazy Americans are. Another T.V. chair? Do we really need one? Maybe not, but I can think of more than one way to use that chaise. Can you???

VW Google Navigation System

Volkswagen AG's American unit said it is working on a prototype vehicle which features Google Inc's satellite mapping software to give drivers a bird's eye view of the road ahead.

The two companies are working with graphics chipmaker Nvidia Corp. to build an in-car navigation map system that can display a three dimensional representation of surrounding landmarks giving drivers an additional visual cue to where they're at.

This is how I've always imagined navigation systems. Sooner or later somebody had to realize that many people on the roads rely on visual markers to get them where they're going.

Sfera

Sfera is a radio alarm clock which hangs above your bed and wakes you in the morning by forcing you to physically get out of bed.

When you set the alarm, the glowing sphere gradually dims and the music gently fades out as you enter la-la land. When the alarm chimes in the morning, the only way to silence it is to reach up and gently tap the Sfera. This action initiates the SNOOZE function but it also means Sfera retracts itself up higher. With each chime, you have to reach up to shake it and eventually, you won't be able to reach it unless you get out of bed.

I love this thing for its multifunction personality. With added benefits such as lighting and a radio, it reinvents what a normal radio alarm clock does. Still, it's not as cool as the Blowfly Blow - an alarm clock that launches a beeping mechanical fly around the room that won't shut up unless you catch it and place it back on its base. See, that's an alarm clock and morning workout all in one.

Paris '06 F/W - John Galliano

If ever there were a designer to look towards for an interesting view on menswear, that designer would be John Galliano.

This Fall/Winter, Galliano shows off his trademark skills with shrinking and enlarging certain areas of a garment, exaggerating its proportions. On top of that are interesting textures and layering effects that create a sort of retro-futuristic silhouette. Colors range from seedy reds and earthy browns and grays. Everything looks as if it was buried, dyed, then pulled from dirt to create those textures.

If you're looking to be bold with only slight nostalgic references, then Galliano is the way to go.

Selk'bag

UPDATE:
You can now purchase the Selk'bag. Read all about it here.

Where the f*ck was this when we were in cold ass Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. This thing looks so comfortable, I wouldn't have minded one bit sleeping on the floor.

It's called the Selk'bag - a sleeping bag system which looks like a giant full body uni-garment. Inside or outdoors, the Selk'bag gives the body maximum mobility and comfort. Fully lined and insulated but not bullky. Stand without any trouble, walk, cross your arms and legs, and when you get tired, just roll over and sleep.

Please BUY us both one!
