Kung Fu With Some Fashion Sense

These kicks are wicked. The gentleman's "flats" if you will. Using the same style and concept as kung-fu/martial artists wear, Bagua has come up with a design that is lightweight, comfortable, and simple. If I were to cop Bruce Lee's fashion sense, this would be the FIRST item on the list. They look comfy as hell.



Bagua x Wu-Tang


Bagua, you guys need to open up shop in the U.S., or at least sell these in the U.S.

Please!

Left-Lane gets fast update!

"The states indicated in green dictate that the left lane should be used exclusively for passing or turning left, though most of these limit enforcement to multi-lane highways. The simplest and best laws simply state drivers in the left lane must always yield to faster traffic regardless of the passing car's speed or other factors."

 Finally! now get out of my way, slow ass drivers.

My two MOST hated movements. Thankfully the row was short, but every time the wall ball shots came around, Im sure 90% of the time I was thinking "Gaaah, friggin wall ball AGAIN. 30 shots. this blows."

EOM's Construction BIBLE

I want this book.

 

This book carries Eric Owen Moss' work, including detailed drawings, actual models, images of his work (built and unbuilt). Pretty much a book of amazing construction done by an amazing architect; in the form of a heavy ass book.

a few images of his work on the Multi-media Tower in Culver City, California

 
  
  
  

 buy it for me :D

Eco-friendly furniture

I remember a project some of the architecture students had to do at WSU where they had to build a "functional chair" out of cardboard. I didn't get to see the finished results, but this reminded me of it.







pretty cool.

Just a few things

probably watched this 5 times. but its okay because its less than 20sec long, so I only lost less than 2 minutes of my life... so far.



some of their other videos are funny, check em out.
--------------------------------------------------------

I always enjoyed TED lectures. David Blaine decided to lecture during the TEDMED, explaining the a few of his ups and downs and what he had to do to accomplish some of his feats. Its a great story, but the part that caught my attention is the moral; the reason behind his 20 minute speech..




"Its practice, its training, and experimenting, while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be." - David Blaine

'tis true, David.
(oooh, good segue)

Black House brings in the light


SOURCE

This house was made for me:
+ simple black and white theme
+ lots of windows and open rooms
+ pool
+ next to a lake (in Buenos Aires, might I add)
+ closed neighborhood
+ meant for a modern couple with no kids (at the time)

"Both programs(sections of the house) are connected by a glass bridge, with the water running under your feet."

how cool is that?!
