the future...

I continue to reference this video in so many conversations, that I figured that I would finally just post it. It's just so nicely and realistically done that I seems hard to dispute. Enjoy.

me likey!

well, i just stumbled across the sickest thing i've seen in quite a while. mmmm...home audio.

pop goes the weasel...and consumerism

have you guys seen the newest American Apparel commercial...its AWESOME!!!

ps...re:mas musica

LastFM is way cooler than jango...sorry for the missinformation

Sunday, November 04, 2007

okay. i just found my new favorite thing. Jango I'm not even gonna try to explain it, but certainly check it out for yourself. If you like it, I think its still by invitation only, and I've got a few so give a shout.

fashion aside

Well, say what you will about the British... I tend to be a fan of most of the things they've come out with, at least in my lifetime. But they seem to be able to get away with things in a more genuine way. When American's try to recreate or give some type of reniassance to a particular style it just seems, well...lame. Aside from the obvious reasoning of this slide show (to sell clothing) I thought it was a nice photodoc of a past style incarnation redone.

whats in a shirt?

One of the most entertaining articles I have read in a long time, was in last week's New York Times Magazine. By David Giffels...about...what else?? A Ramones T-Shirt.

nerd out with yo' bad self

I found this article the other day in the times but it was too blurry to read, fortunately we have the internets. So here it is in all its nerdy glory.

quite concise

Just came across this little piece of how to...it's nice when things are put so concisely as they are in the intro manifesto presented. I was "fortunate" enough to attend one of the aforementioned private type joints, but the result was essentially the same...some more education...and ultimately just another member of the working poor. sweet.

can you dig it?

Thought I'd add a new section to ye olde sidebar. Commodities galore! Also, I've gotta give a big shout out to my girl Heidi for Can you Dig It. She's like a jedi warrior of all things hip and pleasing to the eye. And most of these links are gonna be coming from her. I can dig it, can you?

----------------------------------------------------

Over at Cadence Collection you'll find some great designer stuff. They keep it fresh, without getting trendy. Cycling focused, but not a pre-requisite.

This is the only thing I've seen in a while that was actually nice. It's a nice little movie that MissionWorkshop in SF did for their Shed Messenger Bag. Definitely worth taking a look at.

I used to think that snow globes were just boring souveniers from business trips. but these are morbidly excellent.

Currently, my most coveted item can be found here at Chicago WIG . They're completley customizable, and come with lots of strappies!

Here's a groovy little site with lots of plushy things, plastic things, and some pretty nice t-shirts. It's called My Plastic Heart and I likes it!

So Johnny Cupcakes is my current favorite apparel company. Not only cause my girlfriend is a pastry chef, but I just really dig there logo.

How could I talk about cool commodities and not mention Neighborhoodies. Be the first one on your block to rock one. It's fitty dollars that'll make you holla.

Here's a little something for everyone. I know it's a bit outta season, but if you live in Pittsburgh, we're always a bit outta season.

"I love these so much I almost passed out!" -- Heidi Mamula, June 2005. If that's not an endorsement for alex and chloe I don't know what is.

here's a good one if your looking for a card for that special someone. and they'll have to be real special.

another gem from a friend. and all i can say is holy fucking shit i love my guys.

i know threadless has a lot of cool shirts, but i really dig this one

yeah, i know what you guys are thinking...why does this guy have so much girlie shit on his blog. Well because I do. Now, piss off! Here's a couple of more links... good toghether is a link i found on small things designs So, go on, check it out and think what you will. And bring these sites your business, the man already has enough of your money.

got walls?

Extra Extra

I'm just putting this here for the sake of adding something to the Extra Extra. You should follow me on Twitter @jcolethomas. I say some interesting shit sometimes, and hardly post any pictures of my cats.

Just for the record. If you own an X-Terra, I probably hate you.

Also, Tokyo Plastic Is the greatest website ever!

Phase One complete. In case you think this war on terror isn't about oil think again. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do your homework here.

MashSF led me to Fragment Also...verynice.

I know there's a lot of street art out there, glad to see that Pittsburgh is well represented.

There is also some real nice work from NYC here. I remember seeing

Neck Face when I was in San Francisco, and thinking, what the heck is this shit? ...Now i know.

I thought I'd add this right in middle as it pertains directly the Wooster Collective. Take a look at Banksy He's doing some real nice quasi-politcal, anti-capitalist stuff. And I like it!

So, here's a bunch of stuff I wish I woulda thought of.

I did think this article was pretty interesting.

another little slice of lies oh...and here's another slice.

if you think the government doesn't conrtrol what we see think again.

you wanna hear some shit. yeah...this is what the mayor of new orleans has to say about what went down. Now tell me that

ain't some serious bullshit going on. Not to mention this shit

well...i'm not worried anymore
