…Justin Gignac collected garbage from the last opening days?

Garbage Cubes

Justin Gignac is at it again, and this time he’s collected the garbage from Shea and Yankee Stadium’s last opening days for a limited edition set of Garbage Cubes.

Each one is one of a kind, and features fresh picked garbage from the respective locations.

Get yours now before they’re all gone; because memories come and go, but garbage lasts forever.

Did Michael Jordan destroy the game?

Maybe:

If that doesn’t inspire you to become legendary; then maybe nothing will.

…It’s Website Wednesday: Blank Is Like Blank?

Blank Is Like Blank

Blank is Like Blank is a simple site that provides the occasional analogy to live by.

With quips like:

    “Facebook is like a gossipy friend with no interesting information”,
    “Using Helvetica is like owning a Mac: It looks so cool that you never bother to stop and think if you really need to”, and
    “Starbucks is like that crazy ex-girlfriend you still get together with: You hate yourself for going back, but the familiarity makes it convenient, and until you find something better, it’s all you’ve got”,

Justin Feinstein is firmly establishing himself as the king of the one liner.

…Sony created a Foam City?

Sony Foam City

I’m a little late to the party with this one, but if you haven’t already seen it, be sure to check out Sony’s latest ad, called Foam City.

This one follows up the paint, bunnies and balls ads, and though I think the others were better, it’s still rather impressive.

Check the Sony site for some behind the scenes pics if you’re into that sort of thing.

…You can make your own electric mountain board?

Electric Mountain Board

If you’re willing to put your electrical skills to the test, then you can create your own Electric Mountain Board with a scooter motor and the batteries needed to power it.

The design allows for minimum damage to the board, and the ability to remove it if you want to do some standard riding.

A mod that gives you the best of both worlds?

…Simon Dumont is crazy on skis?

Simon Dumont Record

Simon Dumont recently set the world quarterpipe record for skis with a corked 900 tail grab that sent him 35 feet above the lip of the ramp.

Though that sounds impressive enough, it’s tough to really grasp what 35 feet looks like until you can see the vid:

Crazy!

…The Fami-Card is a Nintendo in a cartridge?

Nintendo In A Cartridge

Here’s an interesting idea: Take an NES cartridge, rip out the guts and replace them with an NES console.

Then you can play Nintendo by simply plugging your cartridge into another cartridge!

Fami-Card

The end result, called a Fami-Card, features an NES cartridge slot, power and reset buttons, a pair of joystick ports, and composite video and stereo audio outputs.

…It’s Tuner Tuesday: Lotec C1000?

Lotec C1000

Never heard of the Lotec C1000?

That’s because you’re not an oil baron from the UAE.

This one of a kind supercar was commissioned by one back in 1995, and originally sold for about $3.4M (with an M). At the time, and even today, it was one of the fastest cars in the world, with a reported top speed of 268 MPH.

The rest of the specs are no less impressive, as this custom cruiser would get you to 60 in just 3.2 seconds, and 125 in just 8.1 if the mood was right.

Ho did it pull off such amazing feats of physics?

A 5.6-liter Mercedes V8 was force fed by twin turbochargers through a five speed manual, with the end result being 1000 HP and 723 lb-ft of torque in a car that weighed just 2380 lbs. thanks to the liberal use of carbon fiber.
