The LG Watchphone

Clipspringer.com — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:10:15 +0000

We’ve always thought watchphones were just a bit too dysfunctional or big to be practical, but LG seems to have actually made it work. Runs on a 3G network, has 2 GB of internal memory, voice command and best of all Bluetooth 2.0 so you’re not Dick Tracy-ing it all day into your wrist. But wait there’s more – it has a video camera for video calls. Full video of features is here. Water-resistant and we even like the normal look of the watch function. The watch went on sale today in Great Britain, but you can already pre-order unlocked versions to slip your SIM card into. $850 – $1400 BUY

Your Own T-Rex (Really)

Clipspringer.com — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:56:50 +0000

One of the three most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton’s ever discovered will be auctioned on Saturday, October 3rd at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Yes, you’ve been wondering what your bachelor pad needed, and we’ve found it. Put it above the stove, or in the corner of your garage. Offer it a drink, stare at, offer it another drink. It’s yours. Excavated near Buffalo, South Dakota about fifteen years ago, “Samson” as he is nicknamed, is approximately 66 million years old. There are 170 bones, and scientists believe he died of either disease or head trauma. When he was alive, he was about 40 feet long and two stories high. Bonham’s & Butterfield states that a similar auction in 1997 fetched $8.3 million, but the auction house is keeping this estimate a secret until the paddles start flying. Approx. $8.7 million. BID

Your Pininfarina Custom Car

Clipspringer.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:35:14 +0000

Pininfarina has designed incredible cars for almost eighty years. You may have seen some of its designs. Look out your window, there they are. Volvo and Ford to Maserati, Ferrari, Jaguar and Rolls Royce. All have employed the same one company to design cars – Pininfarina. So when we heard that you, personally, can hire the company to custom build you a car, we were impressed to say the least. The latest and greatest example of such a custom-build, is the Hyperion. Roland Hall, a Rolls-Royce collector, liked cars from the 1930s, so he asked Pininfarina to design him something that evoked that style, but with today’s power and safety. Roland also liked Chris-Craft type boats, so boat builders made a convertible cover concealer out of the very same material. Why not. Roland, we suspect, likes his new car. $CUSTOM BUY

Few e-card sites list the co-founder as both “Art Director” and “Title Whore” but Someecards gets to the point.

We’re back. And so is the 1939 Grand Prix Winner

Clipspringer.com — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:33:15 +0000

The 1939 Auto Union ‘D-Type’ has been found, and will be sold this Friday, August 14th. Was it lost? Yes. In the Spring of 1945, after winning multiple Grand Prixs, Soviet Forces in Germany loaded all known D-Types onto a train for the Soviet Union in hopes of reverse engineering this marvel of mechanics. So all known existing models, totaling only 13 cars, were loaded onto the train and transported to NAMI motor industry research institute in Moscow. During the research, four of the thirteen were completely dismantled and destroyed during analysis. The others were dismantled over the years for industry research by governments. One was even sent to a museum and eventually sold to Audi. Then in the 1950’s a Russian born American investigated the remaining nine cars, and found one intact chassis, #19. He successfully traveled Europe finding the remaining authentic parts and completed Chassis #19. So this Friday, if you have an estimated eight to ten million dollars between the couch cushions, head on over to Carmel. $8,000,000 – $10,000,000 BID
