Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth earpiece

Categorized Under: Gadgets, News, Tech No Comments

I get a bit of road rage now and then—according to my girlfriend. Just about everyday on my way to and from work I feel like killing some idiot suffering from head up ass disease. What is it about LA and the lack of left-handed turn singles at traffic lights? It’s like the city planner Read more...

Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2

Categorized Under: Tech, Video Games 2 Comments

It’s like playing a fun game, creating and accessorizing an anime and then watching it all-in-one. This PSP sequel to Hot Shots Golf may have added some new features, but the formula to just pick up and play—and then play some more—still holds true.

Summer HARD Fest

Categorized Under: Life, Music, Nightlife No Comments

On Saturday night I had the great pleasure in joining thousands of American Apparel model wannabes and nu-ravers in an all night dance party at this summer’s HARD fest at the Shrine Auditorium.

Categorized Under: Life, Music, Personality No Comments

Remember being in Brooklyn last summer? If you do, you’ll remember the JellyNYC Pool Parties at McCarren. I can hear those pulsing bass beats pouring through the hot streets.

Lemon Poppy Seed: Multitasking Creativity

Categorized Under: Art, Design, News, Style No Comments

Once again DGV gives us a fresh look at the world’s current artistic movements. Rather than highlighting the staples of today’s mainstream design diet, Lemon Poppy Seed raises eyebrows by celebrating the young, international artists operating along pop culture’s periphery…before their creative vision is absorbed into the commercial atmosphere.

Daft Punk’s Electroma

Categorized Under: DVD, News, Tech No Comments

As an Earthbound alien in 1976’s The Man Who Fell To Earth, David Bowie assimilated quite well to human life, masquerading as the head of a tech corporation to create the means to return home…well, at least just long enough to be doomed by his own belief in the inherent goodness of man. (Sucker.) Conversely, Read more...

Quiet Village

Categorized Under: Life, Music, Personality No Comments

Joel Martin is a Peep Show junkie. He said so when I called him at his London home on a Friday night. “It’s a great show. If you come to the UK or can find it, check it out; it’s funny stuff,” he promises, referring to the TV comedy. Martin, one-half of downtempo duo Quiet Read more...
