Nike Be True Dunk USB Thumb Drive

Filed under: Kicks, Nike, Technology

My love of Nike Dunks has been well documented. Now Nike Sportswear has taken the aesthetics of the Dunk and turned it into a thumb drive.  The thumb drive is offered in two colorways, white and black and red and blue. Not sure yet what the technical capabilities of this thumb drive are yet, but I love the concept and I think I’m gonna have to scoop one up. How great to be able to pull this bad boy out in the middle of a meeting? More pics after the jump.

Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte

Filed under: Cool Ish, Technology

I’m a Blackberry dude at heart. They just seem to work best for me. However, this new Nokia is pretty ill. It comes with a carbon upper, a sapphire screen (that sounds cool) and some other high end features. Only thing is this little beauty is a Euro only edition, which pretty much leaves me out. So sad…

From being paralyzed to mating… not too shabby even if the technology isn’t that advanced.

I Am Rich iPhone App

Filed under: Technology, WTF

Have an iPhone and feel like dropping $999.99 on an application for it? Then the “I Am Rich” app might just be for you. Developed by Armin Heinrich, the app costs $999.99 and displays a glowing ruby-like light and the words I Am Rich. Open it and it will load which Heinrich calls a secret mantra that may help you you to “stay rich, healthy, and successful.” Somehow I can see that cats in the video below trying to show off this at a Hollywood club.

Guernica 3D

Filed under: Art, Technology, Videos

Digital Artist Lena Gieseke has created a 3D version of Pablo Picasso’s 1937 answer to the Nazi’s aerial bombings of the town Guernica.

The original painting is in “serious but stable condition” in its current home at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, but the Museum can not afford to undergo any further restorations after superstar art dealer/actor Tony Shafrazi spray-painted the words “Kill Lies All” across the front back in 1974.

Blackberry Thunder

Filed under: Technology

The touch screen craze for cell phones is exploding. Ever since Apple released their iPhone, touch screens are starting to pop up from a variety of manufacturers.  Rumors have circulated about Blackberry jumping on the bandwagon, but now comes some credible info about this. The Blackberry 9500 (Thunder) will be RIM’s take on the touch screen. I know people are loving their iPhones, but i’m not sure the touch screen is the best way to go for the Blackberry. I don’t know if I could get down with this phone or not, but never say never. Oh, and by the way, word is this Blackberry will be a lifetime exclusive to Verizon and Vodafone.

HoloText Messaging

Filed under: Cool Ish, Technology

Everyday I am amazed by some technological advancement and the people that create them. This was achieved today by the HoloText. If this makes its way into our daily lives, reading text messages will become a hell of a lot more interesting. Just gotta be careful and make sure you don’t open certain text messages around certain individuals.
