If you’re stuck in the city on one of the warmest days of the year, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to miss out on the adventure of summer. Bivouac is unique project that brings together summer camping (tents and all) and a city’s most unused real estate; rooftops (panoramic views and all). The campsite/ [...]
That pink suit! It is by far the most dapper suit I’ve ever seen on a man (Robert Redford helped a little too). And with the highly-anticipated remake about to hit our screens, some fashion people went and did some really clever marketing. Brooks Brothers has teamed up with the men’s costume designer of the [...]
Talk about skiing off-piste! Combining one of my favourite sports with our fascination for abandoned real estate, professional skier Logan Imlach tackled a less traditional terrain– the 1960s abandoned ‘Bucker building’ in Alaska. Once called ‘the City under one roof’, it was used as an army base, in anticipation of a Soviet invasion during the [...]
I don’t know how this impressive short film slipped passed me but I’m glad I caught it. A documentary by Ericsson (that mobile phone manufacturer of the 90s you assumed had disappeared), we journey through the past, present, and future of technology and connectivity with some very interesting guides, including Flickr founder Caterina Fake, Wired UK editor David Rowan, [...]
What would you do if you had founded the largest online retailer in the world? Well, you would go hunting in the dark depths of the Atlantic ocean for NASA rocket engines that powered the Apollo moon missions of the 60s and 70s in your spare time– that’s what! On July 16, 1969, five particular F-1 engines [...]
No, this isn’t the rescue mission of a shipwrecked Porsche 911, this is a picture of a 911 being delivered in 1982, to its new owner living on Norfolk island, a small island in the Pacific Ocean between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. A little bit about Norfolk Island from Wikipedia: The island is [...]
Hey crafty people, in case you haven’t already been trawling the tech blogs of the internet this morning, your crafty lives as you know them are about to change. There’s not much to say about the 3D pen, oh, except that it’s awesome. But okay, here are your basic facts. It was launched yesterday on [...]
It could be the house of a pirate king who keeps his treasure buried in the waterbed beneath, but this plywood palace built around a broad-leafed maple tree in Redmond, Washington belongs to a regular Dad who built it for his kids. Sadly, all three of Steve Rondel’s children grew up before he could ever [...]
Yesterday I was offered a pass to the Retro Car Expo in Paris. I’d wanted to go to a retro car show ever since I’d found out it was an option for me several seconds earlier. So I had to go. Plus I dig old cars. This is what I learned… 1. The Citroën DS [...]
If someone ever admits to having never seen The Godfather (it happens more than you would think), I instantly get dramatic; widening my eyes, dropping my jaw with a gigantic gasp and other over-the-top gestures. It’s obviously a pretty obnoxious reaction but one that I feel is apparently appropriate for describing how I feel about [...]
