LIFE AFTER DEATH
The last time alot of us (and by us, I mean you, because I look in my closet everyday and see them) saw the black and cement Jordan 3's was in the summer of 2001, on the footlocker shelves. Sure, there's been many of fakes being worn, but for the first time in along time, we will see the rise of the legendary colorway once again. Set to release in a countdown pack paired with the Jordan XX (who cares?), most people will likely be paying the $400 solely for this shoe alone. Better line up from now, cause it likely won't be another 10 years before you see it again.

ECO-FRIENDLY?
Saw this the other day and thought it was kind of interesting. While it may not actually be eco-friendly, it sure appears that way. It's a heat pressed bag designed by Gregor Timlim, and it basically a sheet that folds into a messenger bag, resembling those old styled paper bags you used for your lunch, but bigger. They are capable of holding a substantial amount of items and is a change from what you see everyday. It's a different take on the shape of a messenger bag, but proves to be quite stylish in itself.

PULSE
This video created by Jason Chen is an artistic time lapse look at Taipei City.. It's called Pulse and it is fitting as the series of cars and lights emulate a cities pulse.

THE JAPANESE HAVE DONE IT
My wildest dreams come true...hopefully they perfect the technology needed for this to run. If so, the environment will be saved as well as our money. But knowing the government, they'd probably start charging money for water or some shit.

GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK
Pretty much posted everywhere else on the net, but I decided it's definately worth the honorable mention..

WORKING IT OUT
At first glance, the above pic looks like a pen or flashlight on steroids, but it's much more then just that. They're actually dumbbells, for those who weight train. Created by designer Sang-Hoon Lee, these dumbbells allow you to change the weight digitally, to your own preference.
What happens is, the bars let you increase or decrease the weight of the dumbbell by simply rotating a dial and punching a few buttons. The dumbbells themselves have tiny balls inside that spin to generate weight, and the faster they spin, the more weight is generated which of course, basically means that you will no longer have to change or add plates to your dumbbells when you work out. Pretty unbelievable!

ISN'T THIS HOW WE ALL FEEL INSIDE?
I feel bad for the girl that gets hit with the pre - 00's monitor.

THE NEW MILLENNIUMS' COUCH POTATO
The SurfChair conceptual design by Kenneth Lylover, was a part of the ‘Internet Collection’ at the Scandinavian Furniture Fair and even won the ‘Best Product’ award. It's definately a winner and would make the obesity rate triple if it goes into production. Though I must admit it's looking awfully comfortable and would make surfing the net a more relaxing experience.

ATTACK OF 3 FT iPOD
Spotted in the lobby of the Nhow Hotel in Milan, was a large (albeit the largest) iPod ever created. Obviously inspired by Apple, this centerpiece is certainly one of a kind.

R.I.P. YVES SAINT LAURENT
Legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent passed away today at 71.
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco have designed and developed, in partnership with the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, the first retrospective spanning the forty years of creation of the Maison de haute couture Yves Saint Laurent. Presented from May 29 to September 28, 2008, the exhibition Yves Saint Laurent focusses on this virtuoso of haute couture, whose unique style blends references to the world of art with allusions to pop culture and social revolution. Structured around four themes, the exhibition develops the revolutionary nature of a body of work that has marked both the past and the present with a new definition of femininity and left a signature that transcends fashion. The display will include 145 accessorized creations belonging to the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, as well as drawings and videos.
