suffering from boring watch syndrome?



"Phenom watch is a completely unlocked GSM phone (ready to take any SIM card you've got) while simultaneously functioning as an MP3/MP4 player through a MicroSD port. Other features include a 1.3" touchscreen display, Bluetooth, speakerphone, numeric keypad and a videocamera."

iphone nano leak

now this isn't a sure thing
the rumor mill is swirling
but XSKN did leak the 3g iphone prior to release

if you're not in the know
apple has foreign companies who make cases
and other parts for new products due out

people get ahold of this information
and sell it to the highest bidder

this is the site's picture of what it will look like



and this is a rendering of what it may look like
XSKN
peeped at gizmodo

$275,000-$400,000 watch

is chain driven!


"It has 1,352 components all working together, driven by a 450 link chain and nickel silver drums."
A watch so complicated it's a shame it only tells the time

HERE!




currently out of stock
get some soon for $100

i've been meaning to

read more new york times blogs
so today i did some perusing
and found one that appealed to my line of work...
drinking.
well serving them really...
but i admit i spend a good amount of time
clocked in on the other side of the bar as well.
you have to as a bartender
you have to spend the time
to get to know the people you work with
and the only way to do that
is by sitting and chatting
as they serve drinks to the bar and yourself


proof is a blog about drinking and the drink
by six contributors
some young lushes, and some old teetotalers

this is how they sum it up...

"For the past 10,000 years or so, wherever humans have gathered, there has been alcohol. Some never touch the stuff. But most do. It is used to celebrate, commiserate, mourn, remember and, often, to forget. It is different things to different people: libation, anesthetic, emotional crutch, social lubricant, addictive substance, sacred potion, killer or commodity. In "Proof," contributors consider the charms, powers and dangers of drink, and the role it plays in their lives."

heres the link

zendesk

has designed this slick page



different small boxes
emitting their own noise
that you start, stop, and modulate
to produce unique tones
HERE

or just noodle around on the wall

what's playing in the sunny studio

black mags
by the cool kids
on the bake sale

i was biking home from the grocery store
and trying to make out the lyrics

(actually there's a bunch of bike talk on the bake sale album

Cool Kids
Black Mags lyrics

I got this 89-90, Pistons champ flat/ bill black starter cap with the hologram tags/
White Mag rims, red rubber tires/
Chain, frame, pegs, grips, shift to my supplier/
Dope man attire, gimme bout an hour/
And I'll have it clicking, ticking, gliding, flying like McGuyver/
I'm a Murder Club, dope pedal rider/
Nigel said I'm good to get that ink on my bicep/
I gets, busy as a bee on my bike grips/
If I catwalk this, I walk, I can fly this/
Bitch and I'm fly, and it's tied to the side/
that's the flag that I'm flying/
Add to the fact that it all coincides with these wheels that I'm riding/
3pt Mags make you think that I'm gliding/
... Shiiiit nigga I aint lying/
I got a long rap sheet that'll say that I'm tied in/

Chorus

Verse (Mikey):

I hit chuck on the pager yo, I'm kinda bored/
And got class til later so, open garage/
And I don't really know which way to go, I aint tryna skate it though/
And my bikes illegal, so they send for the law/
But I don't care joe, I just keep on pedalin/
Ride past shorty light skinned with no melanin/
Shirt look like somebody stuffed two melons in/
Had to stop, so I could preach like revered/
I grip on the handbrake and say "Whatup?"/
I skip on the handshakes, I'm straight. What else? /
I got two pegs on the back, and you got two legs under your skirt/
So ho, we head/
To the Dope Pedal Headquarters/
You would be there if you could/
Chuck got the red wheels and the white mags, but it's all good/
Got the gold hundred spokes like Boys in the Hood/
With the lime green frame, dollars on the bike/
Seat, handlebar grips, is the same as my Nikes/
In the mold, the gold I use for my spokes/
And the frame, the same as I use for my chain/ Out!

Chorus
