Kanye x Louie Vuitton Sneaker...

So Mr. Yeezy treats the papareezy a little better this time around and doesn't bash their face in.

"Why you think I celebrate Kwanzaa??"

Along with his collaboration with Nike, Kanye also will be teaming up with high-end fashion brand Louie Vuitton to bring you some footwear for June of '09.

Interesting.

...Well sort of.

Wasalu apparently is doing the damn thing when it comes to setting the bar for these lame ass rappers. Recently two tracks were leaked to the net of him hitting the microphone in a british-esque accent and strumming out records with his new band Japanese Cartoon. Lupe is apparently going to go by the name 'Percival Fats' and plays the front man of the group.

Very Interesting. These records are not bad at all. They're actually damn good. The Army joint is really dope!

And of course Abstract.

Gadgets: The Jedi That Got You Through College...

While browsing around the innanet, as we do at such a feverish pace, we came across this little gadget from MIMOBOT modeled after one of our favorite movies (No Geeky).

Here is the USB-Flash drive equivalent of your own paranoid, nervously brilliant droid. Along with being Luke's buddy, C3-PO can help you save that crazy all-nighter paper for your professor in a snap.

We've featured many a portable USB-Flash on this site and we won't stop until we find a Rosario Dawson one, yes...then our search is over.

Until then you can purchase your own personal file saving droid Here.

Gadgets: Save The Date, Then Pop It...

What better way to kickstart your new 365 day rotation than by having a calendar?

Did we mention that it was a BUBBLE WRAP CALENDAR?!

We remember as kids being told to stop popping that damn bubble wrap that would go on for hours because sometimes you couldn't get a good pop, you had to squeeze a little bit harder. Now who's going to tell you to quit it? No one that's who.

Made in good old Brooklyn N.Y, because that's why we're an N.Y.C blog, the calendars feature a Helvetica Neue font, these calendars are completely functional, with days of the week and all major holidays marked and weekends bolded for easy spotting. The calendars stand out graciously at 48″ x 18″ and comewith either thick paper or clear plastic backing. The versions that are paper-backed retail at about $30.00, the limited-edition clear plastic versions retail at $50.00. Both can be scooped amd popped at select in-store retailers and online Here.
