"Lucky" by All India Radio, is the viewable blood, sweat and tears of Australian based animation company 'Dee Pee Studios'.

It involves a painstaking animation technique, whereby the team paints in the air with glow sticks, frame after to frame to create entire sequences of animation, usually taking a whole night to shoot."

I wonder if these guys are the same cats that used to tweek out dancing with glowsticks in clubs?

Are you serious - A cat beat MJ

A recently compiled list by AdThis found that this Kitten was shared more than the news of MJ's passing. Kittens are cute and all but bigger than MJ! COME ON MAN! Is that cat more fly than "Thriller"? I mean seriously, He made Thriller! As 2009 draws to a close this is just another reminder of how crazy this year has been. Mike, take us outta here!- Buie

Invisable Glove

Pretty slick little product. As someone that likes to work on my vehicle I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of this goo. - Buie


Latex gloves and the better purple nitrile gloves can be irritating to the skin, reduce the ability to feel what you're doing and are easy to drag, pinch, and tear when working on mechanical things. If you've ever tried to wind a wing nut or fiddle with a fastener with those thin, sticky gloves you know what I mean. With Invisible Glove, I can work with my hands directly on the job in front of me.
A tube of Invisible Glove for less than ten bucks will last months. You put it on once and work all day -- just one more application after you wash your hands to have a meal. With latex gloves, you're going to go through several pairs in a day and end up spending more money.
I do a lot of different things, some of them greasy and grimy like working on an old engine or painting and yard work, and others like client meetings and dinners out where nasty hands with grease under the nails just don't fly.
Invisible Glove is a simple, cheap solution. It goes on like a hand lotion -- just a bit greasier. It only makes your hands slippery if you put too much on. It works exactly like it says, though. Oil, grease, dirt, paint, solvents, and pretty much anything else just washes right off when you're done. No more greasy black fingernails and paint-stained hands.

New Movie - Death at a Funeral

So you get a line up featuring Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Tracey Morgan and Kevin Heart...you know the punch lines are going to be non-stop. Add to the mix super fly Zoe Saldana and uber talented Danny Glover, Loretta Devine and Columbus Short and you've got a pretty strong cast. The movie is a remake of a film released in 2007 but this one may outshine the original. Check out the trailer and let me know what you think.

All I want for Christmas - The Aston Martin Carbon Black V12 Vantage

While the Aston has never been the fastest and by far not most expensive or flashy lux grand touring car it has always held my attention. The combination of respectable grunt in under hood, ultra plush interior and body that looks half Spartan half Master Yogi in an Boateng suit.

PF Flyer introduces The Glide

So I am killing time in the mall the other day... yeah right I had about a half hour power shop for gift for my Mom and I was passing a shoe store. Looking inside I found this bad boy.

The style, the upscale ankle breaker (Chuck Tayor) has been knocked of by established shoe companies as well as fashion houses with in the last year. The fact that a dead brand like PF Flyer re-launches with one was pretty cool and lets me know that whomever bought the brand  has their eye on trend and is willing to try some non-mainstream designs. - Buie

Niche NY shop : Central Watch

Central Watch NYC: One of New York's Horological Hidden Gems from Hodinkee on Vimeo.
As a "watch guy" myself, this piece on Central watch was very interesting. One day, if this blog ever starts making some real money, I will be able to go to a shop like central watch and pick out a couple of classic pieces to add to my collection. Until then I'll just have to enjoy the occasional window shopping trip and keep an eye out for a sweetheart deal in my favorite Vegas pawn shop.  - Buie

Jordan Brand CPIII shoe drops Dec. 26th

Superstar guard Chris Paul is going to have a pretty dang good Christmas. Currently leading his squad with 21pts per game he is set to score yet again with his latest shoe. - Buie

"On December 26, Jordan Brand is launching the latest version of Chris Paul’s signature CP3 shoe. The Jordan CP3.III introduces a new midsole cushioning system, Podulon, designed to complement the New Orleans Hornet’s All-Star guard’s playing style.

"Podulon was developed as an evolution to the Independent Podular Suspension system that was a cutting-edge feature of the AIR JORDAN XX. Podulon’s breakthrough lies in the engineered shape of Cushlon foam that, when strategically placed under the forefoot area receiving high impact, provides cushioning exactly where needed without compromising the integrity of the shoe. Cushlon’s lifespan is long, so the Podulon technology is meant to sustain comfort and responsiveness." - Nike

Style cues are taken from core elements of Chris’ life, his family and hometown, as well as nods to the Hornets – both in aesthetic and comparison to their agility. Just as the cushion has notes from the AIR JORDAN XX, the use of laser engraved Crests (one for each of Chris’ family members) will remind of that shoes styling. Still, the CP3.III stands on its own merits, as a clean, sleek performance shoe." - Highsnobiety
