You knew that he was going to do it :-)

New Adidas Ad

Star Wars and Snoop Dog. How could you go wrong :-)

Just Cute

OK, this is just too cute!

iPad Sales

This is pretty amazing. Apple today announced that they have sold 3 million iPads in 80 days. At that rate, every person in the US should have one by the end of the Summer :-)

Antilles Seaplanes

This is a very cool story that reminds me of the resurrection of Polaroid. In 1936, Grumman aircraft was commissioned to build 10 planes that would become known as the Grumman G-21 Goose. It is famous for being able to land on land or water. By the end of World War II, there were 350 G-21's in existence. Grumman built he plane until 1970 when production ceased.

As one might imagine, spare parts became hard to obtain once production stopped. Dean Franklin of Miami was sole distributor of spare and used parts for the G-21 until 2000 when V.L. Manuel answered a classified add to purchase all of Mr. Franklin's inventory.

Since that time, Mr. Manuel formed Antilles Seaplanes in North Carolina. They are now taking deposits for their new G-21G Super Goose. To build this plane they took the original Grumman blueprints and refined the G-21 to be safer, stronger, lighter, more dependable, easier to maintain.

They rescued a piece of history!

Dekorta

There is a cool new phenomenon in Japan known as Dekorta. Dekorta is a combination of the English words 'decoration' and 'truck.' These trucks have elaborate lights, spoilers, murals, and chrome.

What is amazing is that these vehicles are actually used to transport goods.

iPhone 4 Sold Out

Apple took pre-orders for the 4s version of the iPhone yesterday. Unfortunately, they sold out of the pre-order phones in one day. How many were there you might ask - 600,000.

Is there any end to Apple's magic?

Goonies

The movie 'Goonies' was released 25 years ago this week. People are actually going on tours of the Oregon town where it was filmed.

Man, this makes me feel old :-)

Who Knew?

Who knew that Jaguars are attracted to Calvin Klein Obsession for men? Researchers are using it to lure then research jaguars in Guatemala.

Does this work on Cougars? :-)

Be Careful Who You Play With

Be careful who you play with, they might have cooties! I am sure that is how Apple is feeling today. This is the worst security breach in Apple history. It was not Apple that exposed customer data but their business partner AT&T.

A group of hackers obtained the email addresses of 114,000 iPad users from a database at AT&T. I would not want to be the head of security at AT&T today! His next job may involve the words 'is this for here or to go?'

World's Biggest Burger

Just when you think you have seen everything, someone makes a 90 kilogram hamburger.

The real question is - where did they get a bun that large :-)

Just Wrong

This is self explanatory and wrong on many levels!

iPhone 4

The new version of the iPhone was announced at WWDC today. This phone is a real game changer. Of all of the features, the new FaceTime feature is my favorite. It is video calling right out of the Jetsons.

James Bond Aston Martin DB5 For Sale

Get you checkbook out. The Aston Martin DB5 that James Bond drove in Goldfinger and Thunderball is going on sale at an auction in London in October.

James Lee bought the car in 1969 for $12,000. This car is expected to sell for at least $5 million with some experts predicting that the price could go as high as $10 million.

This is one of two Aston Martin DB5 James Bond editions. The other vanished from a warehouse/ airport hanger in Boca Raton, Fl in 1997.

Let the bidding begin!

New Suit

Now that I have an iPad do I need to buy new suits? Mohan's Custom Tailors of Manhattan is now making custom suits that will hold an iPad.

That Time Of Year

You have to love this time of year. These babies were in our back yard this evening. They are very cute!

How Did We Live Without It?

I wonder how we lived without this for so long? :-) Bacon Vodka is a savory bacon flavor. It’s clean, crisp, and delicious, or so they say.

Ford Dropping Mercury

It seems that the current economic climate has not been kind to the Mercury brand. Ford has decided that all production will cease fourth quarter of 2010.

Everyone Loves Jamaica

It seems that everyone loves Jamaica :-)

No More Windows For Google

Due to security concerns, Google has decided to phase out the use of all Microsoft operating systems. Employees must now decide between Mac OS or an open-source Linux computer.
