Ahh the rain is back here in NE to rid us of the terrible humidity from the last couple of days. Don't you feel sorry for me? "Now give me some candy" It's been a while since I checked in on retro phone handset spinsters Pokia. I guess Nokia was none too pleased and they have since changed their name to Hulger. This the real deal. Plug the handset into your cellphone for the ultimate in Old Skool. They have recently ...

Here's why I have been AWOL for the last couple of days. These are for the presenters gift baskets at the 57th Annual Emmy Awards on September 18th. I like the meat tray idea so much that it will be the defacto packaging mechanism for the 2006 tshirt line. "Freshness Guaranteed"

First off, I want to apologize for some downtime we had tonight, I believe it was MediaTemples end and not something we did to break things! Phew! Looks like we're back online though! We've finally gotten the M-AUDIO iControls instock and I'm trying to talk Mikey into getting one so we can actually have a real live, fun podcast! We'll see where that goes! This past week I took my car to it's 160,000 mile mark!! Woohooo! Still going strong, and at ...

Ok so I'm on a bit of a lil car tangent today but damn, 10 mpg is just insane in the membrane. On the road since 1948 and produced by Piaggio of Italy, the Ape (pronounced "ah-pay") comes in many variants and sips petrol like a tea totaler at a frat party.

Piaggio M500, sure it's "tiny" but drive it and pocket the savings. 60-70 mpg, your mileage may vary. But not here in the states. Nope soccer-moms and urban rednecks would much rather spend 10 bucks to go to the store and back and 100 to fill the tank. Shame on you Detroit, shame on you big oil, shame on you George Bush and shame on you america. Gluttons.

The final artwork was dispatched to TinyHQ this morning for the hot TMF promo iPod cases. Largely unknown here in the states TMF (The Music Factory) is part of the MTV Networks Europe family of stations and in their words, "TMF is designed to replicate the rhythms of the whole family, it plays the best pop videos with the biggest pop stars to become the sound track to the British family life." Here's the wikipedia entry The "bespoke" promotional iPod cases ...

Stellastarr* Update - I completed and delivered the contest promo merch for the upcoming launch of "Harmonies for the Haunted" by RCA recording artists Stellastarr*. Twenty of these super-rare wallets will be signed by the band and a lucky few will get their grubby mitts on these babies. Stay tuned for contest details.

So much to say, so much to do. Damn I hate the Dave Mathews band. "Boycott Gas Day"? How about "WTF Day?" Like any of us would be so stupid to believe that would amount to anything. If it did bankrupt the oil industry (fat chance) is that really what we want in time sof an impending shortage. Nice work boneheads.
