Start the Future

The World’s Strongest Beers 





















‘t Koelschip, A brewery based in Holland, has just created the worlds highest alcohol containing beer in the world. It's called start the future and it's rumored in order to defeat the past leader they had to add whiskey. Start the Future not surprisingly has to be sipped cautiously – at 120 proof it may burn off your larynx. Since it costs ($40) you may not want to down it too fast.

End of History

The World’s Strongest Beers 



















Created by a brewery called Brew Dog This amazing 110 proof beer is now the second strongest beer and the most expensive. Only 12 made and all being the stuffing of an ex-cute little animal, it's exclusivity is what drives it's price all the way up to ($780). The first thing you’d notice about End of History is that it’s served in a bottle tucked inside a dead animal.  Yup, a roadkill koozie.  Named after the work of philosopher Francis Fukuyama, End of History held the title of world’s strongest beer for one week.

RTRP1

 


we are pleased to announce the new collaboration between rough trade and rega the all new rtrp1 turnatble. recently launched the rp1 is the replacement for the p1 and once again we've added the classic rough trade logo
the new rega rp1 turntable, omitting all the usual gimmicks allows rega to concentrate the manufacturing costs on the high quality parts necessary to reproduce records accurately. using a manual speed change rather than an automatic mechanism eliminates speed inconsistencies and reduces wear of the drive belt. the money we save is spent across the design including a new hand assembled rb101 tonearm, precision main bearing, phenolic resin platter and a high quality low vibration motor which would normally be used on a turntable costing two or three times the amount. the minimalist design of the rega rp1 and the use of extremely high quality components ensure that this turntable will last for many years.
the rega planar 1 turntable is the first in a new generation of rega turntables offering far greater performance than their predecessors. we are confident the performance of this amazing new product will impress you. rest assured the only thing entry level about the rega rp1 is the price!

Choose from black or white in 16GB ($500), 32GB ($600), 64GB ($700) sizes. If you want built-in 3G, you'll have to pay ($129) more — 16GB ($629), 32GB ($729), 64GB ($829).

Urbanized

   In 2005 I began work on my first documentary, Helvetica, which looked at the worlds of typography and graphic design through the eyes of one loved/hated/ubiquitous little font. I wasn't a designer, or even a filmmaker, just a design geek who really wanted to see a movie about fonts! After Helvetica was released in 2007, I had the idea for a second film, Objectified, which focused on industrial design and product design, and our relationship with the manufactured objects that surround us. But I realized there was more to explore, and had the initial ideas for a third film that would also examine how design affects our lives. So I began thinking of the films as a "design trilogy".

The third documentary in this trilogy is about the design of cities. Urbanized looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design, featuring some of the world's foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers. I've teamed up once again with cinematographer Luke Geissbuhler, and we've been traveling around the world interviewing people and filming specific urban design projects that represent the issues facing cities today. The world's population is in the midst of a massive migration to urban areas, and the design solutions our cities implement in the next 20 years will be critical.

Sprayable Martini

Graffiti Cocktail ShakerIf your an artist and a drunk then you might want to buy this new product.

It's a perfectly disguised martini shaker that can also make a killer drink, and lets face it if you ever wish to have a girl friend you need to know how to make a drink. Although, whipping out your old gross college shaker wont do anything but hurt your chances. about ($20).

TikTok + LunaTik

  


















TikTok and LunaTik simply transform the iPod Nano into the world's coolest multi-touch watches. The idea to use the Nano as a watch was an obvious one ever since the product was announced. But we wanted to create a collection that was well designed, engineered and manufactured from premium materials and that complemented the impeccable quality of Apple products. Not just clipped on a cheap strap as an afterthought. If you want to invest in this now overly invest over ($900,000) product. well, you can't but you can buy it when it comes out.

OH AND WHAT IS UP LAEL!!!!!

Investors Wanted

Joystickers Touch Screen Gaming Buttons 
I have a fantastic opportunity for any potential investers. I'm currently sinking some cash into this fantastic idea be cause I think it has a great future. you can donate any amount you want from ($1 to $500). 
Here's a little blurd from there website 
Although the product is simple, the Classic is actually very complex to manufacture. We source unique materials from all over the world to make a button that is small, comfortable to use, sticks securely, and is easily removed from the screen.

Every detail of this product was custom manufactured to our specification - even the spring. The spring used in the Classic is manufactured right here in our home city of Chicago, IL. This custom spring will guarantee many, many hours of uninterrupted game play. We designed it to last.

We took everything we learned about capacitive touch screen sensitivity from designing the Classic and applied it to two other products we're really excited about: the Scribe and the Flow
