THE Code X: Vicious Machine On The High Sea's!

In the world of luxury motor yachts there has, until recently, been little that one could call truly modern in design. Apart from the bravely angular and architectural Wally boats, the design literate billionaire had little choice to match their Zaha Hadid summer house, Alfred Haeberli lounge chair or Bang & Olufsen home cinema equipment.

Step forward Swiss company Code X. Their 47′ 7” catamaran has a daringly minimalist and mean origami-meets-Tie-fighter look to it and matches avant garde styling with equally cutting edge technology.

Depending on one’s mood the Code X can either be thrust along at a brisk 80 knots by twin Ilmor formula one engines, delivering a hefty 710hp a piece, or at a more leisurely 9 knots by the twin electric motors. These can provide up to two hours of service when running off the lithium batteries and when they run dry there is also the option of continuing for an unlimited period using power generated by the catamaran’s on-board solar panels.

As if the choice of power sources wasn’t enough the Bond-villain factor is upped even more by details such as touch screen control and a GPS-controlled ‘virtual anchor’ system that utilises the electric motors to maintain a stationary position regardless of wind or currents.

Code X is based in Meggen on the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland

Dita Sun Spring/Summer 09

Feel the way you choose

Whatever you feel on the inside, you will experience on the outside. Life reflects back to you the way you most sincerely and persistently are.

When you’re having a joyful day it’s because you’ve decided to do so. The world you see is directly related to the world you intend to see.

From nothing, in an instant, you can create joy. Where there was none before, you can express love.

Do you realize the power in your ability to feel the way you choose to feel? With that power you can change the world.

You’re extraordinarily skilled at changing your feelings, and you’ve had much experience at doing so.

Feel the beauty of this moment, and watch as that feeling manifests in the world around you.

This is your moment to live more fully than you’ve ever lived. Feel the possibilities, and bring them to life.

Cole Haan Ostrich Tote For The Ladies

Cole Haan handbags have been a longtime favorite of mine. Especially after having a good friend who happened to work there for a year. I gained intimate knowledge on their line, construction and craftsmanship. Of their entire collection, the Cole Haan Collection line encompasses their most impressive, sophisticated and fashion forward handbags, shoes, coats and accessories. Featured here is their Ostrich Tote. It has a simple silhouette (Yes I do speak in fashion terms from time to time) yet the exotic leather and punchy orange color adds an air of uniqueness that makes you look twice. It features double leather handles, very minimal gold accents, interior pockets and suede lining.

Do Something About It

Are you frustrated and burned out? What are you going to do
about it?

Is there something you really want to achieve? What are you
going to do about it?

Have you just become aware of an incredible opportunity?
What are you going to do about it?

What are you going to do today, right this moment? What
actions will you take to end your frustration, to achieve
your dream, to take advantage of opportunity?

Success and achievement depend not on how much you complain,
or on your ability to garner sympathy from others, but on
what you do. And right now is the time to start.

Go ahead and move beyond the frustration, begin to work
toward the dream, and make the most of your best
possibilities. Go ahead right now and do something positive
and effective about it.

UPDATE: PROJECT NATAL VIDEO!!!

Here is the video, I told you its about to get serious in the Gaming Industry!!!

Gearing Up: Project Natal for Xbox 360

This might not look like much but this is a serious problem for Nintendo in my humble opinion. Microsoft dropped a pretty significant bombshell today and I can't help but wonder if Nintendo is rethinking their Wii strategy at this very moment. Codenamed Project Natal, the device is a camera that captures motion data in real time and recognizes both faces and voices. Rather than picking up a controller the camera tracks your whole body whether you're kicking a soccer ball, painting a canvas, or simply navigating through a list of movies without ever pressing a button or wiggling a controller. Like I said at the top, this is a problem for Nintendo and everyone who bought the Wii.

WOW Xemex Concept One Chronograph Watch

Check this out I like this write up: Swiss watch makers Xemex, established in 1996, have unveiled their latest timepiece which has a different flavor to their more upmarket previous work. Their Concept One Chronograph watch was created by Swiss watch designer Ruedi Külling, who had previously won the Chicago Athenian Good Design Award for 2008. Külling’s stainless-steel 47 x 43 mm timepiece, enhanced by a yellow luminescent dial, demonstrates exuberant asymmetrical architecture on the right-hand side, featuring red and black chronograph push-pieces and the crown.

Besides its bright appearance, in addition to telling the hours, minutes, and seconds, the Concept One Chronograph watch provides the date, chronograph, and tachometer functions equipped with Swiss-made quartz. It also incorporates a steel bezel with a tachometer scale, a sapphire crystal, and a screw-down case back, and goes together with a black rubber strap with a steel snapping clasp.

Other specs for the timepiece include hour, minute, and seconds counters at 6, 9, and 3 o’clock respectively, a date window found at 4 o’clock, and water resistance for up to 50 meters. The dial, in addition to its yellow color, is also available in white or black.

Here We Go: G-Aviation !!

You could invest in an analog pilot's watch for all your flying endeavors( but why do that when your not a pilot right), but when it comes to precision nothing beats digital. G-Shock's new G-Aviation delivers G-Shock reliability and functionality in a pilot-minded watch that features an anti-reflective face, solar charging, automatic multi-band atomic timekeeping, and world time. Thus why I'm thinking about getting one!

SONY PSP GO

Sony presents its latest version of their gaming handheld - the PSP Go. It is not just a small update, but a completely new device, now sporting a slide-out mechanism, hiding the controls of the gaming console beneath the screen. The Playstation Portable Go! comes with a 3.8″ screen, 16 gigabyte of memory, Bluetooth, a 43% loss in weight and it comes without the UMD drive. All games and movies can be directly charged onto the flash memory of the device, via the PSN Store. I cannot wait to see it in action!! Sony needs to send me one for review and a check for the marketing I just did! LOL

Every Richness !!

What is the most positive, wonderful thing you can imagine for yourself, for your life, for the ones you love, for the world in which you live? As soon as you can imagine it,
you’re well on the way to making it a reality.

If it were impossible there would be no way you could even conceive of it. Live with the knowledge and the assurance that the best you can imagine is indeed available to you
and possible for you.

You are filled with valuable experience. The things you’ve done, learned, seen and lived through have left behind a unique, powerful substance of experience that is yours
alone.

It is yours to make use of, yours to build upon, and yours with which to
grow.

Though you cannot live in the past, you can draw from the value you created there. Invest today’s actions with the wealth of experience you’ve accumulated, and that investment will immediately begin to pay dividends.

Live your passion, do your dream, and feel wonderfully alive in each moment. This life is now yours, so experience in it every way you can imagine.

Quote For Today!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

-Steve Jobs
