Marc Ecko Star Wars Hoodies

October 18, 2008

“There’s no better, more flexible addition to a fall wardrobe than a nice, comfortable hoodie, and the new line of Marc Ecko Star Wars Hoodies ($58-$98) are at the top of our list. Made from soft, 100% cotton, each features a different design, along with adjustable hoods, ribbed cuffs and waistbands, and front pockets. Our favorites? The Real Trooper and Fett for Real hoodies, which double as lazy-man costumes. In our best gravely Emperor tone: “Gooooood.”"

2009 Lotus Exige

October 13, 2008

The 2009 Lotus Exige Cup 260 is powered by a supercharged 1.8L Toyota engine that produces 260hp, boosting it from 0-60mph in under 4-seconds. Race-ready bits like forged wheels wearing Yokohama A048 LTS tires, Eibach springs over one-way adjustable Bilstein dampers and cross-drilled and ventilated discs at all four corners highlight the serious intent of this car.

October 12, 2008

At first glance, this clip may seem like a bunch of flying dots, but it actually depicts “all commercial air traffic in the world during a 24-hour period.” ..pilot friends tell me that sometimes they get close enough to wave at each other, so maybe it’s not as big as to accommodate the 7.4 billion passengers that will travel by air in 2020.
