Don't fuck with the Terminator!

Now i'm not a political man but this did catch my eye!

It was hardly a bill of cosmic import, but Assemblymember Tom Ammiano’s AB 1176 would have helped the Port of San Francisco with some financing issues. It’s the kind of bill that legislators offer on behalf of their cities all the time -- and generally, they are non-controversial. This one was the same -- no substantive opposition, it passed both houses easily -- and normally, the governor would sign it with little fanfare.

But no: Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill -- and sent Ammiano and the legislators a remarkable veto letter. The letter says nothing about the substance of the bill; in fact, the language is really convoluted and it’s hard to figure out what the gov is really saying.

nice!

Moment Factory - Permanent Interactive LED wall

Well that's pretty cool!

As people walk by the display, 35,000 LED light bulbs respond to their presence and movement with a variety of shapes and patterns. Partly reminiscent of MIT’s Fiber Optic Cloud, the project is a reminder of our ever-deepening relationship with technology and the human-algorithm future that lies before us.

Cameron Frye's dad's house from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is up for sale!!!!

How fucking cool!?!?

life moves pretty fast ... if you don't stop and look around once in a while ... you might miss it!

Tucked away in the woods of Chicago, this four-bed, four-bath is a modernist masterpiece, but might be more well-know for its starring role in the painfully infamous car scene of the feature film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

Its reprise on the web currently comes from its recent listing on the market for $2.3 million.

Two steel-and-glass buildings make up this peaceful palace with the garage celebrating the automobile by showcasing the cars within. Architects A. James Speyer and David Haid built the structures on steel beams, creating a Jetson-like pod above the ground. The home also has stunning panoramic views, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls spanning 5,300 square feet and lending an affect much like Philip Johnson's famed Glass House.

Playboy does sneakers

Is it christmas? ... my birthday? .... it must be all of them as once!!!

Playboy have run an article on sneakerheads: Hot Chicks, Cool Kicks (NSFW) 

There are foot fetishists and then there are sneakerheads. This subculture of shoe freaks collects sneakers like some women harbor handbags. But instead of labels like Prada and Gucci, in-the-know kicks collectors scout out limited-edition designs by brands such as Supra, Nike and Alife.

so does this mean i have to wear your heels?
