Go Brent Couchman

Sometimes the simplest ideas just work. Above, one of my favorites (Rosalyn Custom Totes) from Brent Couchman.

White Floors as Light Magnets

For one, they bring ample amounts of light in. Sucks if you're not a morning person (like me), but I do appreciate having natural night fill my room up on a daily basis. More here.

Positive Support

Fun with geometrics. Fun with yellow. Fun with type. All of my favorite things.

Sporty vs. Classic

Seems to me that any type of casual "sportswear" released these days seem to lean towards timeless classicism more than ever. Not that it's a bad thing. I actually find it pretty slick.

The Future is Motion Media

I'll say right now that there's a pretty big fatty chance motion graphics, video, and technology will be going hand-in-hand quite soon. Better to master the art now than later. For now, check out Spread Motion Design's 2010 Showreel for some quirky and fun ideas!

Elite Squad Review

Every once in a while, you'll stumble upon a movie that tackles a harsh issue such as the reality of crime, drugs, and uncontrollable corruption in Rio de Janeirowith with such mind-boggling eloquence. Shot like a documentary, but cinematically on par, if not superior, with the frantic visual direction as seen in City of God, the movie can only be described as a violent masterpiece, balancing some of the best story-telling, acting, and emotional engagement I have experienced in a very long time. Highly recommended. 8.9/10.

Bianchi Gods and Monsters

If you didn't know, I have this sick obsession with Bianchi bikes. For me, they're beautiful, timeless pieces that only the likes of Eames can top. Now, as the hipsters have gotten a hold of them - modifying every aspect of it until it no longer resembles its original form - I find myself getting hooked even more by the sheer brilliance of their designs and boundless creativity.

I've taken a few hours and rounded up the sexiest mods I could find using the Pista and Pista Concept frame by Bianchi. I have a feeling if you've appreciated anything in my blog from the past few days, this should make your weekend.

Miles Piercy's Plug

As I've eluded to in the past, Charge makes damn good fixies. Miles Piercy takes it up a notch and introduces a silver, white and red color scheme to his Charge Plug. Front white Aerospokes, Profile Airwing aerobars, and MKS pedals and straps finish up the setup.

Octave Z from Lausanne

Seeing Octave Z's new track bike in person would probably be more heart-attack inducing than a bacon smoothie.

Frame: Mercier Kilo TT Black Frameset
Wheels: Velocity B43 White
Crank: Sugino Messenger
Stem + Handlebar: Nitto Pearl 10 Stem + Nitto Handlebar
Saddle: Brooks Red Team Pro NACCC Boston

Nice. Best when viewed in full. More here.

Healthy Hipsters

Haven't touched on my fixie infactuation for a while now, so bike week officially starts now. Or until I run out of resources.

First up, I had to give a shout-out to BMX makers, Subrosa, for creating a slick fixie for the masses. The Malum Fixed model is meticulously designed with attention to detail, including: 100% 4130 chromoly frame, fork, and handlebars. Other features include Shadow Finger Banger grips, integrated headset, Shadow Interlock V2 Chain, 32H double walled alloy rims, 3/8 sealed alloy front track hub, 3/8 sealed alloy rear track hub, alloy cranks with sealed euro bb, 48-16 gearing, and Subrosa Pivotal seat and post. The frame will be a phosphate gray color. $650 shipped.

Geometrically Awesome

Need to get me some hipster wallpaper. Gotta shoot Mikkel Adsbøl an e-mail to see where his clients shop.

Silence Television Prints

Godly, is all I can say. Gotta give it up to Silence Television for some extra groovy prints that almost makes me want to invest in a new Wacom Intuos 4.
