I’m the happy owner a new photo camera Canon EOS D500. Woot ^^ I still have to master the thing but i like the first shots. So if you dont see me online these days i’m most likely to be walking Amsterdam’s streets camera in hand… smile if you see me ;) more updates to come on flickr.

One year ago smoking was banned in Amsterdam. I’m not sure that it changed a lot of things, we’re still going out and smoking almost anything anywhere. And anyway, real hippies always smoked it pure…

Amsterdam is one of the best city to find cool and original kicks. Amoungs the many trendy shops in this city here is one that stands out: Patta. The homebase for all sneakers lovers. And if you love sneakers i’ll assume you prolly also love music, here a freestyle recorded by non-phixion (yeah!) about the Patta shop! (remember, ill bill coming to town soon). happy monday fellas!

32 minutes of chilled frames to cool down after a Hot week-end.. enjoy!

When a bunch of riders in slovenia kills the time by going in the (huuuuge) accumulation pool of a hydroelectric power station, the result is a surprising and very nice flickr photo set. This place is out of proportions, i wish i could have fun in there too! Anyone tried with a skateboard?

We all need a little love… right?

“If you live in Beirut, you probably know Jade as the DJ from The Basement, or one of the most respected DJs in town, or the dude from Blend, the first signed Rock Band in the region (EMI), or that guy at the music store downtown who always recommended great music. Jade plays vinyl in a country where no 12’’ is being sold…”.

This extract of his bio (savagely copy-pasted) introduces the man pretty well. I never had a chance to go to beirut but i was lucky enough to meet Jade when he came in amsterdam at the beginning of the year! Attached in this post is the set he played that night at club nl, that was a high time! for more info, dates and sets see his myspace.

If you’re like me you probably have no fire extinguisher at home and never really considered getting one. And if you do have one, it’s most likely to be hidden in a closet or under the sink waiting for the big day to come. Well you’ll maybe change your mind: The french company Fire Design takes a new look at home security devices with these cool extinguisher. Not only to be compact and available in a wide range of eye-catching designs, they are also equipped with smoke-detectors, making protection more pro active than ever. Price starts at 95 euros. And if you believe safety (and design) has no price you can also order a 100% customized model, just to make sure you don’t have the same as someone else.

WiiSpray is the thesis project of a German students group. I don’t know if they plan on becoming rich now or later (they’re looking for partners) but i think this is just a great idea! With the help of a wii remote suited in a fancy, can look-alike enclosure you’ll be soon able to graph like pros, in your living. Change colors, caps, background but also save, share and undo: it’s like MS paint on steroids. Oh and yeah, it’s platform independant: the software behind uses adobe flash and the wiimote connect almost any bluetooth! Hope we’ll get that shipping before christmas :p you can track updates on their blog
