Paul Smith ~ Glass Water Bottle
Being at a desk all day, I appreciate a good water bottle that will bring a little class and life to my desktop.
The new bottled water by evian would look choice sitting next to my computer all day long, day in day out…
Maybe its me, but these things seem important!

Kid CuDi ~ Man On The Moon: The End Of Day
Kid CuDi has had a hard time recently. The rapid rise to fame via his cult-to-club hit Day n Night has been rough on the New Yorker from Cleveland. So bad, that he decided he would “rather be dead broke” then to continue in the hip-hop game, announcing his retirement before his debut album had hit the shelves.
Now that his album is out, listening to it makes me think its been going on this way his whole life.
The album tells tails of a lonely kid growing up without his dad, struggling with his vices but bursting with creative confidence. It’s a fresh story for the hip-hop world, told in a unique, genre-bending way.
The album is slow, low and frankly, kind of depressing. But saying that, it already sits among among my favorite albums. The album screams authorship, CuDi tells his own story, in his own way.
There are a couple of tracks that will slip into my summer playlists, – Simple As will be first to top the charts – but in general this is a nighttime-driving album. Listen to it solo dolo, give it a go, even if you don’t recognize hip-hop. This one is a genre-bender to breaking point.

Sydney Red Dust Storm ~ Beautiful Photography
Sydney lies on the coast of what is essentially a gigantic desert island. Today a red haze descended over the city thanks to a massive dust storm blown out to the shores of New South Whales.
Apart from smothering the city in dust and giving those with Asthma a hard time (Eshay!), the dust has given us some amazing photography.

Bokeh Lens ~ Shots by kindofpretty
These shots were taken as practice for the current Canon Photo5 photography competition. All of the shots were taken using the Bokeh method – with a cardboard aperture over the lens. Nothing at all has been done to the photos in post production! Take a look at those starry lights…
