Quietly, Hello Kitty has taken over the world. This is just another example that Hello Kitty is the new overlord of the world. But I digress, the Hello Kitty Spa in Dubai actually looks very peaceful and comfortable. I’m pretty comfortable in my masculinity to say that I really wouldn’t mind spending an afternoon there.

These are some pretty cool custom figures of Wolverine done by J. Arturo Ramirez Romero. You can’t buy them just yet, you need to email him and if there are enough interest, he might put it into production. I would love to see him do the whole X-Men group or the entire Avengers team since they’re really hot items right now. Or maybe even Bruce Lee! Because, you know, he was DA MAN.

Video games have invaded home decor. Not a totally new concept but the idea has mostly been isolated to the wallpaper in junior’s room. This, though, is the first time I have seen video game art placed in a bathroom. On top of that, it’s Space Invaders made with bathroom tiles! I can’t wait until someone comes up with a cool 8-bit Super Mario design done in tiles.

Check out this clip of Steve Aoki – he’s one heck of a talented guy who’s got some very interesting things to say about music and spirituality. Of course the music in the background is thumping and clips from his shows just permeate with excitement and energy, but you can tell that this guy loves his job.
Smaller iPad Screen
July 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment
We really shouldn’t be spreading rumors but what the heck, some things in life are too good not to share. There are reports coming out that Apple is planning on producing a smaller iPad with a 7 to 8 inch screen. Even though the bigger iPad screen is great for surfing the net, the smaller screen will be perfect for the public transit commuter like me. With one hand on the rail bar and one hand on a smaller iPad – now they have to figure out how I can surf with just one thumb because I’m not taking that hand off the rail. Have you seen how some bus drivers drive around lately?
Check out the Bloomberg article: iPad with Smaller Screen.

These are works from Dutch artist Sabi Van Hemert. She incorporates animal and child-likeness into movement. The sculpture works remind me of Marvel’s Spider-Man in action poses.
