Head over here for some Art of Obama

obama-art.jpg



Well I haven't gotten over the U.S elections yet. And honestly, a large portion of our home PC's hard disk is devoted to the attention-grabbing pictures from the election campaigns - posters, photos, caricatures, magazine covers, you name it.



Perhaps it isn't too late for folks like me to collect election art. Even now, I cannot resist the temptation. One interesting site dedicated to the purpose is The Art of Obama - a syndication of Obama art from around the world since July 2008. The site points to some memorable Obama art - a rare customized portrait of Obama made from Lego bricks, a remarkable illustration of all the 44 presidents, the acceptance speech depicted as a word-cloud and many more.



If you're not able to lay your hands on the actual art pieces, you can still download some pictures from the site.

東京2008設計周所展出的一款LED手錶



很可惜目前它只是個概念,而不是個商品化的產品。時間就顯示在腕帶的部分,看來也簡潔得多了。不像我之前所買的,要靠腦力解讀,還常判斷錯誤,最後不知放到哪兒去了。

法拉利限量車款 Scuderia Spider 16Ms 專屬 iPod touch 現蹤!




香車配 iPod touch?還是給我個正妹吧!

總之,法拉利的最新終極限量車款 Scuderia Spider 16Ms,跟之前咱們聽過那些傢伙差不多,配上了一台 iPod touch,同時還有法拉利的佈景主題、照片、音效 / 音樂等,容量則為 16GB,至於背面是不是有啥不一樣的蝕刻,目前沒有看到其他的圖片就是。

售價?看來應該是沒有單賣,目前也只知道『一般』限量款(全球 499 台的樣子)的 Scuderia Spider 16Ms 是賣個美金 227,000 元,多了個 dock 跟 iPod touch 應該頂多在後面三位調整一下而已吧?不多、不多...
