Bulbdial Clock Sundial - Doesn’t Need Sun.

April 16, 2008

From the designer himself: “I think we can all agree that sundials pretty much suck. They only have an hour hand, they don’t work at night or indoors, their accuracy changes with the seasons, and if you happen to live in the Southern hemisphere they run backwards. And yet, we all would love to be able to tell the time by looking at shadows, right? That’s why I’ve come up with the Bulbdial Clock.”

David from Ironic Sans came up with this Bulbdial clock, a marriage of lamps and sundials that makes an incredible amount of sense to us. It’s not real in the sense that your mortgage is real, but it is a nice design that takes the best of electricity and the best of shadows and makes something we’d definitely buy. The only problem is that it doesn’t work in direct sunlight, which kinda makes this the complete opposite of a sundial.

Brandon Lee’s Coat from The Crow - For Auction

March 13, 2008

This one is a little creepy, even for me. It is the actual jacket that held Brandon Lee’s guts in after he was shot and killed while on the set of The Crow (1994). It is said to be authentic because it still has the blood stains on the lower back right side. “Black leather mid-length coat by the Leather Warehouse, size 38, bought for Lee… Together with a letter of authenticity form Darryl Levine, the film wardrobe supervisor.”

It is up for auction from  ‘The Pugliese Pop Culture Collection‘ - “may well be the finest collection focusing on 20th Century pop culture ever privately assembled. Approximately eight hundred and fifty of the most extraordinary objects imaginable from the worlds of motion pictures, popular music, magic, television and politics were gathered over several decades by Anthony Pugliese, a man who might well be described as a true visionary. A small sampling of the Collection’s treasures include Houdini’s straightjacket, the Maltese Falcon statuette, Christopher Reeves’ Superman suit, John Lennon’s Abbey Road suit, Elvis Presley’s personal rifle collection and the gun that Jack Ruby used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald.”

Bidding starts at $7,500.00, Estimated to go for around $15,000.00 to $25,000.00 .  Place your bids here.

Adidas Halo Sneakers: are wack.

February 22, 2008

Adidas and Halo, I guess, are best friends. So one day over hot chocolate they decided they should work together. This friendship must of been forged in Hell with Satan’s best regards because the friendship gave birth to the wackest sneeks ever. Luckily they were limited to only 100 pairs that the world now has to look at and for some even more unlucky people, have to actually wear. They fittingly called it the Adidas Gil II Zero Halo Sneaker, the most ugly name they could think of. They were priced at $110.00 and are (unfortunately for mankind) sold out and released into the world. Check out more here.
