Quote For Today!

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted… unbidden… it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love… the clarity of hatred… and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we’d know some kind of peace… but we would be hollow… Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we’d be truly dead.”

-Joss Whedon

The Overlord Mark Four Watch!!!

Nothing says 'fine timepiece" like the word "Overlord" in the title. This should be the watch of choice for all megalomaniacal rising stars! Aside from the functional and lume filled, yet somewhat homely subsidiary seconds dial (bright red on pale green?), this Graham Chronofighter Oversize Overlord Mark Four watch is pretty cool. The best part is easily the "riveted" look of the dial, meant to remind you of mechanized war machines, (or just machines) from the past. Most obviously fighter/bomber aircraft. Actually this watch is named after a specific "Overlord" mission that was part of British Air Force history.

The look of the dial in the 47mm wide case is inspired from Hurricane and Spitfire aircraft interiors. The basic Graham Chronofighter watch theme is there in its full glory, complete with the large size and trigger-like chronograph pusher system. Inside the watch is an automatic movement and quality for Graham timepieces is quite good. I've always felt that their watches are very 'solid' feeling. The Chronofighter Oversize Overlord Mark Four watch will be available as part of a limited edition of 500. I still get irked by use of the term "oversize," as I don't think it makes any sense - for anything really. It feels/sounds like marketing bullshit. The only things that are "oversized" are to big to actually work/fit - whereas this timepiece will work and fit just fine. Look for availability soon with pricing that I imagine will be between $8,000 - $20,000.

One Cool President!!

Dope VOID Watches!!!

VOID Watches is a new, independent boutique watch brand launched in 2008 as the single vision of Swedish designer David Ericsson. VOID Watches has a unique take on watch design using simple yet expressive shapes, giving their watches an almost architectural expression. Just like a great building is designed to fit its environment, all VOID Watches are made to sit perfectly on your wrist. This is the different look that everyone should be looking for. I have always told people to set trends not follow them! High Fashion isn't for everyone but knowing how to dress sure is.

The Marten 49!!!!

Its damn near summer time now, so its time to hit the beach/ yacht/sailing scene hard!! And better way to do this then in Australian yacht builder Azzura Marine’s Marten 49. Marine seems to be riding the carbon fiber craze also. This yacht is a true beauty that is a sleek-lined, ultra stylish cruiser-race. It comes with a carbon fiber hull, bulkheads and deck. The three main virtues of this baby are maximum flexibility and maneuverability and luxury through advanced technology. The proof of this is the clever 'hydraulic lifting keel for improved draught and performance when racing! I'm not suggesting that you do race but If someone wants to make a wager on a race then why not? So if your going to race at least this boat has reduced draught for accessibility to harbour's and anchorages when cruising, in addition to a retractable carbon bow. So if you are into sailing and cruisers, Marten 49 will definitely be on your wishlist

Carrot Summer 09 T-Shirt!!!

In a world where 1% of the population owns 40% of the planets wealth. In a world where 34.000 children die every single day from poverty and preventable diseases, and, where 50% of the world’s population lives on less than 2 dollars a day…One thing is clear. Something is very wrong.

“Philanthropy is for amateurs” t-shirt by Carrot Clothing will be a May release of Summer 2009 collection. Profits of this t-shirt will go to children, victims of war.

Now is this what its all about!! I will be grabbing one of these when they hit the streets, or when Carrot sends me one!

“So, I learn from my mistakes. It’s a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there’s no gain. I found that to be true in my life. You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that’s part of it: knowing that you’re not shut out forever, and that there’s a goal you still can reach.”
