(Make sure to click the HD button on the bottom right corner to get the full experience)

According to Moore’s law, the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit increases substantially fast- namely doubling every eighteen months. What this basically means is that technology grows at an exponential rate, and if you do the math, we possess only 1% of the technology we will have in 10 years. Which makes sense considering 10 years ago we barely had HD anything, and now we hold the ability to record 60 minutes of the stuff for about $200.

flip-hd2Introducing the Flip Mino HD Camera. We love this little guy. Pictures are fun, but there’s nothing like video to relive moments. The fact that it shoots in HD makes it even sweeter. You get 2 hours of battery life and 4 Gigs of space which allows you shoot up to an hour of video, or you can skip out on the HD and get a whopping 2 hours of video. Use it for your amateur films or your amateur “home videos” ;) . Whatever you use this on, you’re sure to have a good time with it.

minohd-blackJust stay safe, and remember it’s not waterproof lol.

Polo Player cuff links

Posted by A.I. On July - 21 - 2009

cufflinks

Cufflinks are to shirts what salt is to foodstuffs, the subtle little kick needed to make something perfect. As in all things, I usually tend to keep it simple. I hate ostentatious clothes and accessories, so these Ralph Lauren cuff links are just right, baby bear style. There isn’t a whole bunch of variety in formal wear for men, suits usually being different variations of the same design. Cuff links are a subtle way to artfully add some more color and presence to one’s person when attending formal events like galas, charity balls, weddings, and other things of that ilk.

I really like the simple design and how the black contrasts with the silver so well. The silver is sterling and the black material is carefully carved lacquer. I love the iconic image of the polo player, which is a classic icon, something I remember from my childhood when Ralph Lauren was at the top of their game. The high polished shine gives off an aura of elegance. These are the types of cuff links that will have you looking like a perfectly poised gentleman. These bad boys retail for around $225.

24K Gold IPhone Case

Posted by Chuck Nelson On July - 21 - 2009

Considering the 1984 style revolution Steve Jobs has started, there’s a good chance you have an iphone. What was once new and cool has become a ubiquitous part of our culture. It is undoubtedly the most versitile mobile computing device available. The fact that it just so happens to be a pretty decent phone as well just adds to its allure.

The problem is, how do you differentiate yourself from the rest of the Apple sheep. What can you do that will set your phone apart from the rest. The cases available now are monotonous and boring and custom paint jobs void the warranty. So most of us were stuck just buying a single color boring rubber case. Until Now-
