Swobo Bikes

Swobo's galvanized-finish fixie and matt grey coaster-bike. Shipping out on April... though I don't particularly like their grips, they should have kept the design to a minimal, just like it's paint scheme.

ONE NUMBER FOR LIFE
















GrandCentral.com came up with the idea of unifying multiple phone numbers to one single number. Now when someone calls you on the unified-number, your office phone, home phone, phone on the yacht, mobile will all ring simutaneously. This eliminates the hassle of giving out multiple numbers. And minimize the frastration of carrying multiple mobile phones.

On top of that, there are a few options to utilize: listening in (can choose to direct call to anwering machine if it's an undesirable caller), call recording, customize greetings and the best yet, a web button that will direct the link to your phone.

Lamborghini LM002, 1990



























Saw this beast in Hong Kong, apparently, only 542 units of Lamborghini LM002 were ever made.

The LM were originally developed for the US Army, but it was too pricey. And so they converted this vehicle to a commercially used ride. Its main target customers were the royalties in the middle east (including Uday Hassein, before the US Army blew up his super-buggy).

Engine: V12 light alloy 5.2L powerful twin cam 48 valves EFI Engine
Transmission: 5 speed manual with Hi,Low range , both permanent 4wd and part time 4wd system with three ZF limited-slip differentials
Speed: 210 Km/h ( EFI Model ) 0--100 less than 8 seconds.

PIET HEIN EEK vs PLAY SAM racer




















































OMG, the dream ride for kids with a billionaire daddy.

Okay, that wasn't the point really, I genuinely think that Piet Hein Eek's finely crafted racer is a lost art that we should cherish. Hand-built, craftsmanship, and it's really all about the nostalgia.

The € 3.540,00 Piet Hein Eek racer sure beats Play Sam's Sixten Sason hands down!

HOMEMADE FISH EYE LENS
















Dr.USO teaches you how to create your own FISH-EYE lens!!

All it takes is cardboard, cardboard roll of your toilet paper, a magnifying lens and a fish eye (yes, the real thing)!
It's unfortunate that the video is in Japanese and the subtitles are in Chinese only. But it's relatively straight-forward and quite self-explanatory.

Be warned though, do not try this with your precious GR1V!

Watch the video!
