Had the opportunity to cross the Golden Gate Bridge last weekend with the homie Mike. It got somewhat windy that day up there, but not too bad. Anyways, a must to do if you ever have the chance.

Photobooth


These have been getting more and more popular with today’s events; especially weddings. But lately, this is probably one of the nicest looking ones I’ve seen (though online). It was produced by Marija Ivkovic & Lachlan Moore.
This is the worlds first fully portable, high resolution, digital, architecturally designed part inflatable photobooth. Developed by two commercial photographers from Melbourne, the concept was stumbled upon when we turned a tiny room into a digital photobooth for a studio lunch party. It was an instant hit, with queues of people and around 800 shots taken by the end of the night!
The following day we thought ‘let’s build one’. So we did!
Though based in Melbourne, they service most parts of Australia. It also seems that they are open to the possibility of events outside of the country as they have it as an option on their site’s estimate form. For more info, you may check them out at photobooth.com.au

Fame Kills: Kanye x Lady Gaga
Here is the promo/teaser video for Kanye West & Lady Gaga’s joint-concert tour coming this Fall: Fame Kills.
I was originally planning to go see it in Vegas during Pacman vs. Cotto weekend, but probably would see it locally (San Jose maybe). I figure it might just be too much stuff going on that weekend in Vegas. And yes, you might be saying: “but what about the whole Team Taylor > Kanye / VMA debacle, etc., etc.?” Yah, kind of a bad move.
Not the thing to do at the time. Honesty > Tact, maybe? But as Alexander Pope would put it, “to err is human, to forgive divine.” And yes, there are far more things going on around the World that most people should be aware of (myself included): Iran Election, Darfur, Global Warming, …
Anyways, one thing that I have to be truthful and give props to is that his Glow In The Dark Tour (w/ Lupe Fiasco, Rihanna, and N.E.R.D.) was sick! Not to mention, like it or not, you can’t deny that the Music he produces is unique and memorable to the masses.
Last but not least, for more tour dates and/or info, check out famekillstour.com

Update
Seems that the video has been deleted from the Vimeo site. Here’s one from Youtube…
Art Inspired by Cars
Two typographers ( Pierre & Damien / plmd.me ) and a pro race pilot (Stef van Campenhoudt) collaborated to design a font with a car.
The car movements were tracked using a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman. ( openframeworks.cc )
Here’s the video, When Driving Becomes Writing (iQ Font: The Making Of).
I recall BMW doing something like it, but with paint. Here’s the video they released for the Z4.
Meanwhile, you may download the iQ font here. You may also click on the following thumbnails to view the results:
