Aiko Candy for Your Computer

Aiko is quickly becoming one of my favorite artist. From T-shirts to paintings to handbags, his shit is always on point. For some great looking screensavers, and other cool work from Aiko check out his website.

iTunes Podcasting, Always Innovating

The new Apple iTunes is out today. I haven't played with it too much, but from what I have it looks pretty cool. They have added Podcasting support. Which means it can download specific Pocasts that you set it to on a schedule, and even load them to your iPod. I haven't really been all that much into Podcasting yet, but with the help of iTunes I may just jump on the bandwagon and try it out, who knows, this very well could replace your traditional radio.

*UPDATE*
So I listened to my first Podcast from iTunes this morning on the train to work. I set it up so that it auto-updates everytime there is a new Podcast, and it seems really cool. I am thinking if I schedule my iBook to boot-up every morning, and put iTunes in my startup items, I won't even have to do anything and my iPod will have all my new Podcasts ready to listen to on my way to work. I think I may become a frequent Podcaster afterall!

*Show Alert*

JPG Magazine

I found JPG Magazine yesterday on their Flickr account. It seems like a very interesting magazine for those of you, like me, who enjoy looking at pretty pictures rather than reading magazines. The most recent issue is a 62 page, high-quality piece with photos from over 50 photographers. It seems like a really cool publication, and the Flickr account is really popular.

Not Your Dad's Laptop Bag

For all of those who own a laptop and are sick and tired of carrying around some lame-ass leather brief-case-lookin-thing that could have been a "hand me down" from your grandpa, InCase is here to save the day. Last month while I was in Denver I got the chance to visit the Apple Store there and they had a bunch of these bags there. I fell in love. Unfortunatly they didn't have this little baby featured above. InCase also makes a lot of other fresh bags for iPods, Guitars and more. I am gonna be sportin' one of these next paycheck for sure.

Synthesis: Rave Worthy

I must admit, it has been quite sometime now since I have been to a rave, but I must say the party tonight by the name of Synthesis looks like it could be well worth checking out. The party lineup includes heavy-hitters such as John B, Simply Jeff, Jayrod, Kris Moon and a "loptop battle" which seems like a cool idea. I was checking out SLC DnB just now and they have a Quicktime movie up of there light and sound check up from last night, so check it out and I am sure it may make you think twice about not going to this party.

Shoe Gazing

These new Nikes are dope, I would like to get my hands on a pair, but I am sure they are going to be outrageously priced. I mean I like my sneaks, but $300.00 for a pair of shoes is a little steep for me. I am amazed at how crazy people get about their sneakers, it's like an ever-growing cult of sneaker freaks that would give their left arm for a pair of limited edition Addidas Jeremy Scott kicks. For those of you who are already into the whole "foot candy" world I am sure you know about these, but for those wanting to know more about it here are some shoe sites for ya:

:: Hypebeast
:: The Daily Sneaker Blog
:: JB Classics Online
;; Sneaker Pimps
:: Sneaker Freaker

And those are just a few, check 'em out and jump on the shoe-head bandwagon.

Bombing the System

I doubt it will ever show in theaters here in SLC, but Bomb the System surprisingly looks pretty good. The reason I say surprisingly is because it's about graffiti lifestyle, and movies about any sub-culture usually end up being some skewed, horrible representation of what the culture is actually like. But I would be willing to check this movie out to see what it's all about, keep an eye out for the DVD.
