WEI?

On my way to pick up lunch I spotted a new Skullphone wheatpaste on Bowery.

Who is that skull talking to on the other end? We may never know. In any case if you love skullphone you can pickup a print of the skull and his other notable Skull Pegasus (an awesome skull version of the Exxon Pegasus) at Subliminal Projects

JOBS ‘97.

Amazing old clip of Steve Jobs presenting his new campaign, “Think Different”.
(Shorts & Birkenstocks? That’s how you give a pitch!)

TOTW.

Haven’t done a Tweet of the Week in a minute but I still collect them when I see some gems in my timeline. This one comes from Scott Belsky, Founder of the Behance Network.

TOKYO.

In Tokyo once again. This time for our final stop in the Staple Spring ‘11 previews. I always love the subtle things that make Tokyo one of the most amazing places on earth.

Trust and security in Japan is very VERY different than New York City. Here’s something you might commonly see in a restaurant. Bag open. DSLR Camera sitting there. Wallet open. Car keys laying there. So funny.

You’ve heard of people going overboard with pampering their pets? How about pillows…for your CAMERA.

“Cream which cleans up horny layer of your heel.”
It’s bullshit. I tried this and my heel was still horny as hell.

The Japanese always are at the top of the technology game. Notice these ergonomic, comfort-control, anti-carpel tunnel mouse pads. Truly innovative.

I spent some time outside of Tokyo as well in a small town call Kusatsu (famous for their onsen’s). We stopped in a tiny little roadside restaurant, literally in the middle of nowhere. Normally, in America, this would yield a bathroom that looked right out of Trainspotting. But here in Japan, not only was the bathroom pristine—but perfectly balanced and considered in its design. Just perfect.

Still standing…as you might have read on my Twitter feed, I’ve been standing all day at work. I read in The Times that sitting all day has major negative effects on your health so I’ve been standing ever since and I’ve felt a major difference. I highly recommend it. I’m even doing it in my hotel rooms.

ATHLETES V2.0

Growing up, being Asian and a nerd went together like peanut butter and jelly to everyone else. I remember having to hide my flute case in my backpack all through high school in fear of ridicule from my jock friends (remember American Pie?). But now thanks to the whole “nerd-chic” thing, I can now wear my coke bottle glasses in public and pass for being fashionable. Yao Ming made a huge impact into the main stream and shocked the athletic world when he entered the NBA in 2002, but he’s no nerd. 8 years later and what do we got? E-Athletes. Honestly, I don’t know if this is a step forward or backwards? I foresee an army of scraggly looking super-nerds with extremely powerful index and middle fingers and a hunch back with pale acne-riddled from sitting in the basement for too long. I don’t know? Maybe this is the future of athleticism?

Eeesh.

Really though. If this ends up anywhere close to what Tron (2) is like, sign me up!
