Cobra Tag

This is something I need. Desperately. I loose my keys AND my phone in my apartment all the time, though almost never at the same time.  The Cobra Tag covers all your bases.  If you lose your keys your smartphone can help you find them. If you lose your phone your keys can make it ring.

This is probably the best thing ever.

As is tradition, the bride and groom exchanged gifts prior to the wedding. While Matthew purchased Emily the watch that she had always wanted. Emily commissioned a custom ring for Matthew’s shooting hand (as opposed to for his wedding band). This one of a kind band has the depth of field scale from his favorite lens, the .95 Noctilux. On the sides, the ring features both Matthew’s name and The Leica Guy moniker on one side, and the Lens information including name, filter size, and serial number on the other.

This is amazing.

Solar Powered Bikini

The solar powered bikini pictured above is wearable power… kind of.  Really it is a completely impractical bit of wearable power.  I mean, lets think about it logically.  If you are trying to harness the power of the sun why would you use an article of clothing with the least amount of material/surface area?

Also, I don’t think you can go in the water in something that is sewn together with “conductive thread.”  The whole thing is impractical.  I’m all for wearable power, anything to keep my phone from dying but the whole thing just doesn’t add up.

(Side note, this picture was taken in 14th Street Park at 15th street and 10th avenue in New York. ((you can tell by the design on the top of the fence and you can see a bit of the High Line just past the building… I worked near there for a year and a half.))  No one goes there to sunbathe.)

Awesome find of the day.  This order form for Star Wars t-shirts was tucked inside an original copy of the Star Wars soundtrack from 1977.  I especially love the type of the “May the Force be with you.”

HoodieBuddie

This hoodie is brilliantly engineered.  An extra pocket for a music player of your choice and ear buds built into the hood strings for no tangle listening.  If you’re wondering it is machine washable… but honestly, who washes a hoodie?

Awful Nerd… Underwear

Spotted in H&M yesterday.  No I did not buy it.  Yes I was the guy taking pictures of underwear in an H&M.

Roc Nation Aviator Headphones

Available in your choice of three different colors, the Aviators sport a foldable design and an “optics-inspired” polycarbonate speaker housing, along with a pair of 40mm full-range mylar drivers with neodymium magnets, and a tangle-free nylon cable complete with an in-line mic and controls. 

I’ll take a pair in white please. No price yet just listed as “June.”  Love the addition of the in-line mic and controls. That’s what really sold it for me… well that coupled with how sexy they look.
