things you didnt even know you needed
God its almost Halloween. Which no doubt will necessitate me getting dressed and getting right royally pissed. Last year was a complete farce of an evening - I drank too much beer, too much whisky and lost the head when the party I was at was attended by folk I didn’t like. So this year I am being trooped out to some godless hellhole to be paraded about like a court jester.
Mimobots are cool USB pen drives - for you to store your data on when on the move between PC’s. I got a darth vader for xmas - cheers folks its fab, and I purchased a Tokidoki one too. They’ve today released Series 3 of the Star Wars range. Click on the image below to visit the Mimobots website.
Ok maybe I would never actually be allowed to convert my entire home into a video game but with the cool stuff over at What is Blik I can at least dream. There is a range of ‘decals’ (reuseable stickers to those of us who have yet to grow up) here that involve some great nintendo characters. You can now turn any room into your house into a virtual Super Mario World or fight Donkey Kong every day. Genius.

Just quick post about the service available from Nike iD. Text a pic from your mobile phone, assuming you’re in the UK here, to 88247 - with the message ‘Dunk’. Nike will take the image and use two of the colours in it to build you a pair of trainers. You’ll then be emailed with info on how you can purchase your bespoke Nike iD. Will post my trainers from the gig I was at last week when I get home and get the pic off my phone.
More info available @ http://www.akqa.com/nikephotoid/. You may need to use Internet Explorer to see the video - Firefox took a dislike to it and wouldn’t play it.
One of the most fantastic things in the entire universe is trainers (if you’re living outside the UK you may call them ’sneakers’). Trainers - along with Marlboro and rum - help to block the entire world out. My personal predeliction is for Puma trainers. Retro styling, the calm simplicity of them, elegant lines and the variation on the design is almost endless.
Today I discovered my new lover - Reebok Reverse Jam Trainers. These are even more beautiful than my black/orange Pele’s, my multi-coloured Clydes or even my most beloved Adidas Adicolor Y2. If anyone knows where I can these in the UK I will worship you forever.
