Il Bisonte satchel/briefcase






Here are pictures of my new Il Bisonte satchel/ briefcase. I've wanted an Il Bisonte briefcase for the last 15 years... finally, it's mine! It should last me for the rest of my life.

A bit about Il Bisonte:

"Wanny Di Filippo established Il Bisonte in 1970 as an artisan workshop in the heart of Florence in the historical Palazzo Corsini, making leather handbags, travel bags, briefcases, belts and accessories. The signature Il Bisonte leather is the finest "vacchetta": a natural vegetable tanned cowhide, which develops a beautiful aged patina with time, light, and handling." (Hunt Leather)

Paper desktop speakers rock you like a handcrafted hurricane




Like my grandmother always says, sometimes the best gadgets are the ones you build yourself -- with kits imported from Japan, purchased at places like Fred Flare. Princeton's Paper Speaker kit comes with a pair of 1W stereo speakers, a USB connection, paste, and a paper template for building a retro desktop sound system. Three designs are available -- take your pick from a cabinet record player, a component stereo system, or an old school boom box. Check 'em out below, and then get yours when it becomes available in early July for ¥1,980 (approximately $21).

More variety with this link.. really cool and something for you to buy in Japan Lg

HTC Hero hands-on: Flash, keyboard and ruminations (updated!)



If it wasn't for the iphone, this phone i would get in a heartbeat.

Been hankering to see what Flash -- via the Open Screen Project -- actually looks like on an Android (or any modern mobile) device? Well hanker no more, ya'll. Adobe has helpfully dropped a video on us which has Flash team member Adrian Ludwig demo'ing the newly minted HTC Hero (multitouch gestures included). Once the content loads up, it seems to run at a pretty snappy rate, though waiting on Flash content to appear doesn't look encouraging if you're in the midst of casual browsing (or on a weak connection). We'll be interested to see what this is like in the real world -- and for platforms beyond Android -- but for now at least we've got something to go on.

This might be my reason to get the iphone 3gs!

ZodTTD teases gpSPhone and psx4iphone running on iPhone 3GS

The iPhone DevTeam hasn't released a jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS as of the moment but that won't stop famed iPhone homebrew developer ZodTTD for porting his emulators to the speedy new iPhone. Here we have a video preview of his two popular emulators, the gpSPhone and the psx4iphone running on the new iPhone 3GS.




On the first video, Zod previews the GBA emulator, gpSPhone, running on the iPhone 3GS. The video shows the emulator running at a minimum 150 FPS and maxing out at about 225 FPS, with sound and 0 frameskip whereas the iPhone 3G needed frameskipping just to reach 60 FPS.

Fk'n sicko!!


After 8 years and 12 piercings, BME user metal_games wants to move on to other forms of art he can apply to his body. But instead of going down the tattoo road, this guy opted to go for scarification, wherein you intentionally scar yourself to create a pattern or an image. The interesting bit here is that the design isn't what you usually see - it's the image of the NES controller. For the squeamish, the pics may not be too suitable for you guys.

Starting with the lines, the pain wasn't half as bad as I'd expected. In fact, it was a breeze for the most part," he wrote on his blog. "It took Jeffrey, the artist, about 20 minutes to cut all the lines. A couple of deep breaths, and we went straight on to removing the skin. I wasn't looking forward to that, but again, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." So despite the bloody mess, our body modder didn't seem to hurt too much.

Here's an except from the same blog entry:

Some parts on the more sensitive parts of my leg had me clenching my jaw, and after about 45 minutes I just wanted it to be over with. We were nearly done at that point however, and after another painful 10 minutes it was all over. Stopping the bleeding was a different matter though, and I lay there for a while until it stopped. After bandaging it, it felt like a large abrasion. So back to Utrecht, where it turned out the bleeding had started again, but the next morning when I cleaned it for the first time, it had stopped. Cleaning it for the first time turned out to be pretty painful (duh), but the second time it was a lot better. Now all I have to do is to care for it according to Jeffrey's advice, and I can't wait to see how it's gonna come out when it's fully healed. All in all, it wasn't the most fun experience I ever had, but I'm glad I went through with it. It looks so cool!


The thing is, he didn't mention why he went for the NES controller, why he picked his leg, or what games he enjoys playing. Then again, he's more of a body-modder than a gamer, so all we have are the intricacies of his bloody conquest.
