Red Bull Stratos (videos)
Saturday, January 30th, 2010In 1960 Joseph Kittinger rode a specially designed helium balloon higher than anyone had been. At the top of the atmosphere (102,800 feet/31 km) he looked around and then jumped off. He free fell at close to the speed of sound (614 mph/988 kph) and then parachuted to the ground.
Felix Baumgartner aims to break Joe’s records and jump from 120,000 feet for the Red Bull Stratos Project. Joe is assisting the Red Bull team.
I thought I’d also show you a recent Toshiba advertisement which took a chair up to 98,000 feet and filmed it with 8 HD Toshiba cameras.
The Toshiba ad is especially enjoyable if you’ve recently watched the Pixar movie UP!
Imagine sitting in that chair.

Studio D’Artisan make a jean that is a mix of left-hand twill and right-hand twill. It’s a nice combination of Levis versus Lee in one package.

But sometimes this concept can be taken too far, and a freakish monster – which should never have been born – is released upon an unsuspecting public.

I wonder if there is a difference in quality to justify the difference in price.

Nautical: Necklace
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009My office is near the workshop of William Llewellyn Griffiths, who makes some really quite spectacular jewelery. Items like this ship with crossed pistols keep me visiting his store like it is an art gallery.
You can view more of his works on his web site metalcouture.
Whilst I like the mariner themes with ships, skulls, pistols and flaming hearts of his jewelery… it is all too big for me to wear. I eventually asked about getting something made, and selected a simple small anchor (it’s around 1cm across). It’s actually part of a larger ship necklace that he makes. He polished it and set on a chain for me.
I’m very happy with this small trinket. Actually, I just realised that it has been around my neck for one year now, and this was the first time I have taken it off.
