one last thing before I quit

I'm not as big of a fan of pillows as some people I know. It's not that they aren't comfy, I just don't see the need to have a ton of them. I make due with just a couple. But hey, sometimes a few just isn't enough. Especially when they're in the shapes of rocks!


Smarin Design has a line of these pillows. They're shaped and colored to look like stones. Enough said. This is cool.



Side note: This, too, is cool.


They're pillows designed by Keetra Dean Dixon, FromKeetra. Ans yes, it is supposed to look like someone died. Fun!

As of 5 minutes ago, I knew nothing about this iRI5, their portfolio or their ambitions. But I just saw this, and thought it was awesome.

She takes old cassettes, pulls out the magnetic tape, and then repositions it into portraits of music artists. She's also taken old film reels and have done the same. She hasn't done a lot of these, as has ventured into other mediums that I'm not as big of a fan of, but I just think that this is a nice unique idea. Kudos to her.

Speculation can merely end up as being nothing but a dream. I surely hope that that isn't the case with this.

Many sites have been saying that a new Apple store will be opening up in Winnipeg really soon. As soon as October some say. This is exciting. The closet store that we've got would be in Minneapolis, a good 8 hour drive away.

Would this store change lives?! Well, maybe a little. It might open up a large amount of eyes to something that's wonderfully awesome to people that wouldn't have thought otherwise. But the mere factor of having a place to pick up a new toy, or get something fixed up quickly in my own backyard, is extremely exciting.

Now, nothing has been officially announced, which raises one to question whether or not it's just a rumor. But if you were to venture off to the Apple site and go through the job section, there's a Manitoba selection available. Huh. Here's hoping.

I am easily impressed with gadgets and gizmos that really serve no purpose, but are just ridiculously imaginative and quirky. I came upon a page Yuri Suzuki a while ago. I can't seem to figure out if this a person or a company. Regardless, some of their design work is just crazy. Here's some of my favorites.

Bluetooth Tap Shoes
These shoes are wired up to play a portion of music, sound effect or a spoken word, depending on how the person steps. Here's a video.

What to think.

I quite enjoy Kevin Smith's work. I generally enjoy Bruce Willis' also. And now they're teaming up for a new movie, A Couple Of Cops, looking to be released next year. The movie is being described as 'a pair of cops who track down a stolen baseball card, rescue a Mexican beauty and must deal with gangsters and laundered drug money.' It would just be awesome if this movie was like The Last Boy Scout.


But the movie is written by some TV writers, not Smith himself. And Willis' partner? Ugh. Tracy Morgan. Now, I don't watch 30 Rock, but I just can't see how it's boosted up his value in Hollywood. I mean, he wasn't even that funny on SNL. Maybe this is all Tina Fey's fault.

Well I'll end up seeing it anyways though, but I can only hope it they don't try to make it Bad Boys.

I heard about this movie a while ago. I have been unbelievably excited this movie and with its trailer just being released, my anticipation has just grown. I love this era. I love this culture. I love hearing these stories.



It's nice that it's a change from another Capone movie. I'm also excited for the main components of this film. Depp, Crudup, Bale, Ribisi. That's just a talent pool. Plus Michael Mann; I can only hope that he can reach the same levels that he did with Collateral, Ali or Heat. Ugh, yes!! Why can't this be out now?!
