Siapa Mau Sofa dari Bodi Vespa?

Desain unik Vespa memang mengundang decak kagum banyak orang. Tidak hanya mengundang minat untuk menungganginya, tapi juga mengkreasinya dengan berbagai kerajinan lain yang sama uniknya.

Hal itulah yang melatari sebuah studio seni bernama Bel&Bel dari Spanyol ketika mereka membuat sofa dengan bahan utama bodi Vespa.

Sofa yang dibuat Bel&Bel ini menggunakan bodi bagian depan alias sayap Vespa yang kemudian dilapisi dengan busa dan bahan kulit berbagai warna yang kemudian dijahit tidak dengan mesin tapi tangan.

Hasil kreasi studio ini cukup beragam dan unik yang tentu bagus sekali sebagai bagian interior rumah. Misalnya saja sofa Vespa dengan kaki dari ban-nya.

Hebatnya lagi, sofa-sofa tersebut menggunakan bodi Vespa klasik yang di Indonesia tentu masih digunakan. Ini pun bisa dipandang sebagai cara unik mendaur ulang Vespa.

Mengingat populasi Vespa yang masih cukup banyak di Indonesia, ide ini
sepertinya pantas untuk ditiru dibanding hanya mengekspor Vaspa tua kita ke berbagai negara.

Michael Jackson's This Is It: Review

Man.. I really miss MJ after watching this. Aww man now I'm getting all emotional *sniff*

This Is It! is basically a collection of rehearsal footage's of MJ preparing for is This Is It tour which will never come to be cause the guy had to fucking die. The film showcases him rehearsing all his popular songs and with some interviews with his band mates and dancers.

Watching MJ dance and sing here really makes me miss him all over again. I still can't let him go cause the man's just awesome and he's done so much impact in my life personally. It's great seeing him dance again after such a long time. And yeah since this was just rehearsals, MJ wasn't exactly going all out, I think he gave it mostly 80% for the most parts but 80 is still kick ass tome.

And he's gotta be one of the most well dressed people in the history of rehearsal. In every video he's in, the dues like wearing coats and glasses. MJ got style yo! The only person I found more interesting to watch than MJ was one of his back up dancers.

This girl. Who is this girl? People..I gotta find out who she is! I gotta find out whats her name and where this girl lives so I can o there and ask he to marry me. Damn this girl is fine as hell and she's a great dancer to!

All the performances in This Is It are great. But the ones that I liked best were Thriller, which had some awesome 3D and zombie shit.. Smooth Criminal, which had me having a geekgasm when they had Humphrey Bogart and Rita Hayworth put into the opening video with MJ. I loved The Way You Make Me Feel which is one of my favorite live MJ song and Shake You're Body Down To The Ground which was just some good ole funk and dancing.

But of all the great performances in the film, the one that trumps them all was when MJ did Earth Song and when the video with the Earth Child came out. Wow. That was one of the strongest, most moving videos I have ever seen. Now that would have been a great music video for Earth Song. And Jasmin Alvarez who's the girl in the video is just the cutest thing ever!

There's this other girl in the movie to, she's MJ's guitarist. I got her name right her, her names Orianthi Panagaris. Wow this girl can really kill a guitar.I mean her fingers move up and down those frats like.. like Jimmi fuckin Hendrix man. She totally owns the solo in Beat It but in comparison to the great Jennifer Baten who was MJ's previous guitarist, Orianthi's got a long way to go.

And Kenny Ortega is just a big joke in this movie. He should just sick to directing lame teen musicals cause he's got nothing on MJ. All the scenes with him in it practically has him kissing MJ's ass or having MJ tear all his suggestions apart and all Kenny Ortega does is just go, "Yes MJ. You're right MJ. Sorry MJ. I Love you MJ." So like.. whats the point of him being the director in all this?

You know I really don't see the point of them needing to show This Is It. I really don't need to know what could have been with the concert, I was hoping the film be more of a tribute film to Michael Jackson.

The film barely shows us anything that will make us relate to MJ as a person. I wished there was a personal interview with him instead of hearing how great he is from his band members. We already know he's great.. now we want to know the man in person. MJ barely speaks in this movie and doesn't even look at the camera. The whole time I felt like the kid in the zoo watching the snake in the cage and going, "C'mon! Move!!"

RATING: 7/10

Gadget Mode

This week we got a chance to catch up with Atsushi Yamaguchi, the creator of the Buzz House Design range. A Mac fan with a love for sleek electronic design, the Buzz House Design creator is all about providing practical and fashionable accessories for his brand of choice.

Sleek design protection for your geek bits.

Deanne: What is Buzz House Design all about?

Buzz House Design: I create cases for iPhone , iPod touch , MacBook and Vaio. They are all made in Japan. They are handmade and high quality, made by professional crafters.

The range focuses strongly on two elements, practicality and fashion. Each piece is created as a carry case for the electronics and also as a fashion accessory.

Fashion and Function: carry, keep and cover.

Deanne: Are you a Mac purist?

Buzz House Design: Yes, I love Apple because they pursue sleek design and that is captivating. I don’t feel that the PC has this same quality. Apple is just not a company making electronics, it is a fashion and design creator.

Nowadays, everyone has an iPhone, mobile phone or laptop. They are as common as bags or wallets. There should be more gadgets that are focused on design.

Deanne: Do you own other brand electronics?

Buzz House Design: NO.

Deanne: Your Mac Book felt cases and iPhone felt cases are popular items on TokyoMade. What would you say your number one item is?

Buzz House Design: I have to say that the best selling item is the iPhone Case but the leather iPhone cases are getting popular too. Since the MacBookAir case went on sale it’s been extremely popular and recently VAIO cases are selling well, too.

iPhone Fashion – hand made in Japan.

Deanne: You are such an iPod fan that you actually run iPod parties here in Tokyo. Can you explain what an iPod party is exactly?

Buzz House Design: I organize a party called noWax which I don’t attend as Buzz House Design, I just go to the party with my friends.

I think many people who own an iPod have an obsession with music and culture. Often they would like to share their music as if they were the DJ. This is the concept of noWax events.

People who come to the party plug in their iPods and get to share the tracks they are listening to. It is a fun night and a great networking event. It is not just about the music, it is about interacting.

noWax is an irregular event, but please check it out here and stop in some time.

Griffin Technology wants you to Simplifi your life

I believe that it was Henry David Thoreau who wrote in Walden: “Out life is frittered away by detail…Simplify, simplify, simplify!” Of course, if he really wanted to take his own advice, he would have written “simplify” only once.

One of the things in life that really need to be simplified is our desktops. Many of us have all sorts of accessories to our PC like memory card readers and iPods, and the Simplifi is designed to take up a lot less real estate on the desk.

The Simplifi is clad in anodized aluminum, and attaches to the computer via USB. Fortunately, no software is required, and my computer recognized it right away.

From there, it can be used to read and write media cards like the SD, XD, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, and the Memory Stick Pro. It also has two USB ports in back for any USB device that you wish to use as well.

It can also be used as an iPod or iPhone dock, and it has six dock inserts for this. It also comes with an AC cord, but I was able to get the Simplifi to read and write memory cards with the USB alone.

The Simplifi can be purchased on the Griffin Technology website for a price of $69.99.
