Michael Lau exhibition around the world (Not in UAE?)

Well toys are a little big part of my life when I was a kid (Gi Joe, Transformers, Lego, Playmobil, Big Jim, barbies not that, that was later)  and  only a bit less since I’m trying to be less of a kid!

So I am interested in the evolution of toys for “Adult” and every time I can I try to see what’s up.

To be honest one of the biggest Toymaker/Artist is Michael Lau! Only one of my 7 toy is of  his creation and you can see it below. I post because he is doing a lil exhibition for his 10 years of creation of the Gardener line and The Hundreds show us a bit of it.

As you can see on the report from the Hundreds his work is FUCK*NG awesome!

So I invite you to have a look at the report here if you like the pic above or below!

Bluetooth?

So as you can see on the pic above I own 3 bluetooth headset (earplug?) well whatever the name is!

The one on top is my old one (Motorola). I didn’t want to let it die but unfortunately after 2 or 3 years of good life together the thing that keep your hear close to the speaker start being loose so couldn’t use it any more. I bought it back then for maybe 150AED and honestly it worth the money I spend.

Following the challenge I decided to invest in a new one! Because I didn’t want to buy a fancy one (No money in fact) I decided to go to Carrefour and buy a basic one! I took this Samsung on the left (about 2 or 3 month ago)!

To be honest the Samsung cost me about 79 or 99AED so I said I will not expect much more than working correctly! However it was a bad idea! My LCD screen is a Samsung, I had a phone from Samsung and was happy of all but this! It keep on loosing the connection with my phone (HTC Diamond ndlr) when the previous one didn’t and it was too annoying (Imagine my client listening to me shouting that this crap didn’t work without me hearing them!)

Do you think I would take the time to go to Carrefour to exchange it and get another challenging product? No I preferred to buy another one and this time for 59AED (The Motorola one at the bottom) for the same economical reasons or maybe because a fancy one is not fancy for me anyway!

You know what? It works perfectly! Sound is good and it fit well in my ears! So the Samsung will be used maybe for  Skype only…

Samsung sorry you do nice product but this one sucks! Motorola I will buy your bluetooth product in the future because I’m happy!

ipod nano 5th generation

I think I will take one! Yeah it’s cool to be able to shoot some mini movies when doing all the thing that you do with your ipod!

Imagine your jogging and this cute lady pass by… hop you become a Movie Maker (So glamour)! Hop there is someone starting dancing in the street and in fact it’s Whitney Houston (high again), hop you take a movie!  Imagine you meet me! Hop we can chat in front of your Ipod and all your (girl)friends will become crazy!

Well I just love the radio FM tuner, the movie stuff, the pedometer  and the fact that you can listen to music with it! I forgot there is a DJ kind of system included… not the shuffle! It really mix the thing!

By the way Apple you don’t want me to test one live here? Contact me I send you my address!

I like camera… and the Panasonic Lumix GF1

I still don’t know if a DSLR would be a good solution for a guy like me who just point and shoot so… Maybe this Pana Lumix GF1 would be the choice!

“Panasonic new Lumix GF1. The 12.1MP Micro Four Thirds camera features a interchangeable lens system, features support for legacy Four Thirds lenses and Leica M/R lenses via an optional adapter. One feature  is the optional, hotshoe mounted electronic viewfinder which provides 100% coverage and can be tilted vertically from 0 to 90 degrees. Other features include 720p video recording, 3” LCD, and a built-in dust reduction system”

Thanks Acquire for the hint!

Party like a Rockstar! new GTA

The ballad of Gay Tony… such a name for GTA! Well the trailer is cool… very cool… so why not!

shelter.ae

Maybe one of the most interesting place in UAE currently?

“The shelter is an innovation campus that allows ideas to exist in a creative environment. This environment is infused with added value experiences such as language and design classes, regional major events such as the Art Dubai VIP lounge and will exist to create an experience in order to attract and identify innovation.”

They have a shop with good product it seems and organise sale on supremebeing brand on Saturday… so I might pass by… not to buy anything but to have a look at the place…

Backpack!

Well I did buy the backpack up there because my co-players from the UAE army keep on teasing me with theirs when I go training! The size looks perfect to put my GI on it!

However below you have a very sexy one! A collabo between X Large and Manhattan portage. No date for the moment and no need for me to start a collection but… it’s a nice one

Common points?

Ok tonight I offer you a lil game! Can you tell me what is the common points between all those products?

I’m too old.. surf kids rocks and knife even become sk8!

So first this kid Ian Gentil surf better than you! And then me for sure… I don’t really surf outside of my dream and once every 12 years… so get amazed by those video…

Then look how someone took a skateboard and put it on a knife! Is it to flip the merguez at the BBQ? well…

Apple conference… and?

So I can say that I’m not an Apple fan even if my computer career probably started with the Apple 2 and the Mac. But right now outside of my Ipod nano and so itunes I have no apple branded product!

So why am I talking of Apple you would ask? Well I don’t know!

Because they launch a Iphone with a camera? I have one on my HTC!

Because they data speed up to 7.2mps? Well if I don’t have the same I don’t care it’s too expensive in UAE the contract for 3g (but don’t worry I have it on my HTC)

Because I will be able to send mms from my Iphone? Well I can do it already with mine!

Ok I stop here as you understand that I’m not a fan but if you are just look at engadget they tell you everything

New gaming experience…

I think that I will soon buy a Xbox if this come true! Look at the video and tell me that the gaming experience with this new tool is not amazing!

Also look at this presentation.. it’s a bit scary to me for whatever reasons but amazing too in term of potential!
