My 1st CLARK.

You might not believe this but this is the first pair of Clarks I have ever owned! And it’s a good one to start with. Grey leather Desert Boot custom designed by Ronnie Fieg and his team at David Z. Kudos to everything he is doing for the game. 信じられないかもしれませんが、こちらが僕の初めてのClarksです。しかも、初めてとしては最適。David ZのRonnie Fiegと彼のチームがカスタムデザインしたグレーレザーのDesert Boots。彼の貢献にリスペクト。

SKATEISTAN – TO LIVE AND SKATE IN KABUL

A nicely shot and touching short film highlighting the lives of a group of youths in war-torn Afghanistan, and the involvement of Skateistan in their lives. Skateistan is a charity project, and the world’s first co-ed skateboarding school with a team of international volunteers to work with boys and girls between the ages of 5 to 17. I consider myself very luck with what I have, and have had. Nothing like a small dose of someone else’s reality to feel humble and thankful. I just filled out the volunteer form, we’ll see what happens.

SECURITY!

Justin Gignac is a very creative man. I really appreciate his subversive take on everyday items. Prior, he’s the artist responsible NYC Garbage, Blindfolded Gift Wrapping at Partners & Spade, Needs/Wants For Sale, and Nudes of Chatroulette. SECURITY!™ is his latest creation. It’s an 18k gold-plated sterling silver pin with white diamonds on the front and back of the piece. An opulent interpretation of the shoplifter’s worst enemy. Designed by Justin. Fabricated by Max Steiner Design. This will be available at Reed Space very soon.

TSA SCREENINGS.

tsa-full-body-scanRoger Ebert wrote a really compelling piece on his blog about the recent uproars over the new TSA screening guidelines. He talked honestly from both perspectives…the weary traveler…and the underpaid TSA worker that is responsible for our well-being and safety.
No matter what happens, here’s the thing I always think when I’m standing in a security line: The terrorists have won. Bin Laden is sitting in a cave somewhere reading all this press and angst and he’s having the laugh of his life. We’re ripping each other apart. We’re name calling our fellow workers and neighbors. We’re even typecasting and profiling our friends and travel companions. (See Up In The Air). The long term solution is not better/more advanced screening techniques—it’s better/more advanced public relations with people we don’t fully understand.
“But wait a minute. How did we get into this dilemma? After 9/11 there was a perfectly logical fear of terrorism. Security checks were ramped up. They kept ramping. Every time there was a loophole, it was closed. An asshole named Richard Reid put a bomb in his shoe and now we all have to take off our shoes. An asshole named Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab put a bomb in his underwear and now we get our netherlands plundered. Even though the scanners cannot see items concealed in body cavities, we don’t yet have to bend over and spread our cheeks.”

UPDATE: Check out this clothing line called 4thAmendmentWear. Thye make undergarments with metallic prints that show up on TSA X-Rays. But I bet this will cause more problems for you than you want at the airport.
Roger Ebertが最近のTSA(アメリカ国土安全保障省)の新しいスクリーニング規制についてとても説得力のあることをブログに書いていました。非常に正直に両方の言い分について語っています...疲れた旅行者...そして僕たちの健康と安全を任せられた賃金の安いTSA職員。
どんな事が起きても、セキュリティーチェックの列に並んでいる時、いつもこう思います:テロリストが勝ちました。ビン・ラディンはどこかの洞窟でこれほどまでにメディアに取り上げられ、不安を掻き立てて、笑っていることでしょう。僕たちはお互いを引き裂いています。仲間である労働者や近隣の人たちを罵倒しています。友人や一緒に旅を共にする人たちを外見だけで型にはめてプロファイリングしています。(Up In The Air参照)長い目で見ると、もっと発達したスクリーニング技術ではなく、僕たちが完全に理解をしていない人たちとの間にもっと発展したパブリックリレーションズが必要ではないだろうか。
「でも、待てよ。どうしてこうなっちゃったんだ?9/11以降、テロに対する当然のような恐怖感がありました。セキュリティーチェックは過敏になり。そしてもっと過敏に。一つ抜け穴があったら、そこは封じこめられた。Richard Reidというバカなヤツが靴に爆弾をしかけたから、今、私たちは靴を脱がなくてはいけない。Umar Farouk Abdulmautallabというバカなヤツが下着に爆弾を隠したから、私たちはくまなくボディーチェックされる。スキャナーは体腔に隠されたものは見られないが、まだ私たちは腰を曲げて尻の割れ目は点検されない。」
更新:この4thAmendmentWearというアパレルラインをチェックしてください。TSAのエックス線写真にも浮き上がるメタルプリントされた下着です。でも、これを着たら空港でもっと問題になると思います。(注:4th Amendment=アメリカ合衆国憲法第4条)

The new “epicurien urbain” is now available in your favorite bookstore. You guys are able to read this french mag and you know what? Because it’s written in english too!

It talks about food (France and all around the world): good places to eat, recipes… Designs, photography and many other things.

The concept is original, so, thanks to The Fricotins for the new recipe… However it could be very dangerous… Believe me, after read it, I wanted to eat everything in my house!
