New Tom Ford Fall/Winter 2010
I will be making a call to the local Tom Ford rep for these, I will update post once they become available on websites….
The Jaguar Concept….X75
Jaguar C-X75 Concept with powered by electric motors working in conjunction with “micro gas-turbines”, which also throw in 1180 lb-ft / 1,600 Nm of torque. Jaguar claims the 6-hour-to-charge plug-in sports car has a range of 560 / 900 km miles and an Lithium-ion-only range of 68 miles with a “potential top speed” of 205 mph (330 km/h).
The four 195-horse / 145 kW electric motors are mounted at the corners (one at each wheel) and provide torque vectoring, while the turbines – which can charge the batteries or add 188 horsepower in Track mode – are located centrally in a Texalium-lined compartment. Cooling for the turbines comes from the design of the car itself, which uses integrated channels to move air to the necessary areas.
It has interior sport-lux essentials: leather, neoprene, soft-touch materials, polished and vapor-blasted aluminum, and seats mounted directly to the bulkhead “as in a single-seater racing car”.
Like the Saab and Spyker that the gear shifter, a trick switch in the overhead panel that starts the car, and a “stealth” setting that reduces ambient lighting when in track mode. Also on the “dramatic theater lighting” which lights up various areas of the car when the key fob is detected nearby, as well as certain interior areas when the car is turned on.

Nikon Coolpix P700
Well well -- what's this? Look like all those rumors about Nikon licking its wounds and gunning hard for the high-end compact camera market were true: this hot little piece is the new Coolpix P7000, Nikon's answer to the Canon G11. Like we'd heard, it actually drops the megapixel count from the P6000, with a 10.1 megapixel CCD sensor that can hit ISO 6400 sensitivity natively and 12,800 when boosted behind a f/2.8-5.6 7.1x VR zoom lens and a three-inch 921,000-dot LCD display. It also has full manual controls for virtually every setting, an optical viewfinder and accessory hot shoe, RAW support, and a 720p/24 movie mode with VR and continuous autofocus that might actually be useful for more than just casual shooting because there's a mic jack. There's also the usual range of Coolpix automatic adjustments and modes, of course, but come on -- look at all those manual dials and buttons, people. It'll hit later this month for $499.99

Introducing Beatbox™. Beatbox unleashes the driving bass, distinct midrange, and clean, crisp highs of a multi-speaker club system in one amazingly compact and portable box. Plus, it nails the energy of hip hop, the dynamics of rock, the delicate detail of jazz, even the intricate texture of a symphony. So, share your music. It’s time.

Why did science have to go and mess up a good thing fellas...
Why did science have to go and mess up a good thing….There was time when every woman had natural breast. I'm not saying I don't like looking at the fake ones, but it just not the same. It doesn't spark the same cardinal desire as seeing a real breast , small or large. We are creatures driven by sight, but once you get to the actual touch, its like a bit of water was thrown on the flame. It should be exactly the opposite, after being excited by the allure of the breasts, you should feel like gasoline was thrown on the flame, when you get to the touch. I think fake breast should have been reserved for medical procedure only, cancer etc.

The new 2001 Cayenne
I stopped by the Porsche dealer today, to see the all new 2011 Porsche cayenne. Yes, all new exterior and interior re-design, and let me tell you , not bad. If you ever seen the new Panamera interior , then just place that image inside the new cayenne. The exterior is sleeker, and more rounded in the back, making it look smaller to me, the but design is growing on me.The lion's share of changes goes to the range-topping Cayenne Turbo. Thanks to a significantly more composed suspension and enormous 19-inch carbon-ceramic brakes (which are optional), the vehicle finally drives like a Porsche. Body control is top-notch, and because the Cayenne now uses the same all-wheel-drive system found in the Panamera, the torque-vectoring gizmos onboard do an excellent job of maintaining traction whether you're on the track or off-road. The turbo engine is good for 500 hp at 6000 rpm and 516 ft-lbs of torque at 2250 rpm.

The Sunday Sneaker
What goes best with those favorite sweatpants, but a crispy new pair of comfortable sneakers. Not the running sneakers you had on early this morning, that were bought for comfort , not for the look. But a pair like this retro jordan III remake, but my favorite is the Adidas rod laver, that are still sold for 60 dollars.. thank you Adidas. One for keeping this classic shoe around and not raising the price. I have owned countless pairs of this shoe, and it still a classic.
