On holiday weekends—well, to be honest, on most weekends, and frequent weekdays—I forgo exercise for the unalloyed pleasure of laziness. But a visit to Steven Alan’s East Hampton pop-up this July 4th threatened to interrupt my moratorium. The shop is now stocking L.A.’s Linus bikes, a nattily Euro-styled line priced to move at around $300. They’re just the latest rider-friendly item from SA, which this fall will be making bike-ready gear to match. And though the bikes are probably…

Okay, so I can’t even tell you how amazing I think these are. I actually had to go outside and take a freaking walk to calm down after I read the following wedding update posted by OBT member Julia…

Our invitations were kept secret from EVERYONE. My parents, sister, friends, everyone. So it was a complete surprise when they showed up in mailboxes. We are both graphic designers but wanted to truly splurge on our invitations. We knew a lot of our invite list wouldn’t be able to…

We truly enjoyed viewing these candid like photos of Thiago Rodrigues who was featured on Revista TPM a little while ago.

To speak about these photos, don’t you think a candid like photo has its charm ? It’s pure, simple, and raw… aaaand…Most importantly we assumed these photos were probably made without or with very little help from the magic of aunty fabuleux photoshoppi.

Cyclists are most vulnerable to accidents on road, and there no cause arguing the fact. Often going unnoticed they get rammed over by reckless drivers. To maximize the growing trend of bicycling and to minimize accident, designer Billy May has conceived a concept for Nike dubbed the Hindsight, which attached to the glasses extends the cyclists peripheral vision by up to 25° on either side.

Nike Hindsight is attachable curved Fresnel lenses which are struck to the cyclists’ glasses to…

Can’t get enough of the pretty dead girl in the basement? Well here’s a new clip to calm your cravings, you sick, sick puppy. Also, The Horde’s Frenchie zombies have a trailer and Human Centipede freaks us out.

The Horde
I’m getting very excited for the zombies cops and robbers flick The Horde by Benjamin Rocher and Yannick Dahan. All of the set reports and stills we’ve seen so far have been lovely, and I’m hoping it’s as pretty as it appears to be. The basic premise…

We’re not at all clear what, if any difference, exists between Samsung’s new XL2370 monitor and the $399 P2370L announced back in January. Both are 23-inch LED backlit members from Samsung’s “Touch of Color” lineup sporting a 2ms response and 1080p resolution. The XL2370 claims an ambiguous “finger-slim” design sounding very much like the 0.65-inch depth of the P2370L. The only hard difference is the stated increase in dynamic contrast ratio from 2M:1 (P2370L) to 5M:1 — a…

Chris Anderson’s stirring Wired editorial “Tech Is Too Cheap to Meter: It’s Time to Manage for Abundance, Not Scarcity” accompanies the launch of his new book Free: The Future of a Radical Price, asking technologists to consider what it means to manage abundant hard drives, networks, and processors, rather than scarce ones.

Perhaps the best example of a glorious embrace of waste is YouTube. I often hear people complain that…

My new Locus column, “Cheap Facts and the Plausible Premise,” explores what it means for science fiction when the cost of knowing something falls to zero, and when the difference between knowing something can be done and doing it narrows away to nothing.

Tell someone that her car has a chip-based controller that can be hacked to improve gas mileage, and you give her the keywords to feed into Google to find out how to do this, where to find the equipment to do it — even the firms that…
