The DNA Life

New Direction For The DNA Life Blog

2009-09-08T09:44:00.001-07:00

Thanks for everyone that has been following our blog. It's really been the only real motivation to keep posting on here, but we are going to change up the blog a bit. No longer will we have multiple contributors. It will just be Ana & I. It will literally be "The DNA Life". A reflection of our lives on the internet I suppose. I'm over Facebook in general and the fact that they own all the pictures I upload, so I'm just going to keep my life on blogger for now. We are going to be moving all the music & fashion over to the The Nightlife Forums, so if you enjoyed that aspect of the blog please head over there. There you can be apart of the forum & post your own music/fashion inspiration as well & become part of the community. If you would like to keep following us that's great, but the updates will not be daily anymore. It's been a great run & we managed to get ranked 543 out of 21663 blogs with over 7,500 hits per month.

Ferrari Inspired Sneakers

2009-09-07T21:17:00.001-07:00

Portland based designer combines sneakers and the sleek look of Ferrari's. Unfortunately I don't think they will make you run as fast as the car, but still pretty cool design. I like the first red one...

2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost

2009-09-07T11:04:00.000-07:00

The Maptor | GPS Map Projects Onto Any Surface!

2009-09-04T08:21:00.000-07:00

The Maptor is a hand held projector that lets you see maps on any surface and provide GPS. Get the info on the jump.

"The Maptor is a combination of a map and a hand held projector and eliminates the annoying task of folding up that paper map you bought at the 7-11. Maptor is lightweight, compact a stylish little gadget that will project any map your heart desires on any surface. The handheld is equipped with GPS capabilities so it can pinpoint your EXACT location and provides the ability to upload any map you would like directly to the device to make you look like the MAN! (or woman) on your next camping trip. It is only a concept right now but I don’t see why this intuitive little device wouldn’t make it onto store shelves in the near future. Now only if this were available when I was a kid, it would have made manhunt a very different game…."

Glacier of Crying Mother Nature

2009-09-03T17:36:00.000-07:00

"At first glimpse it looks like any other glacier you might find in the freezing Arctic wastes of Norway..."

But on closer inspection an eerie face is depicted in the melting ice wall that appears to be crying a river of tears.

The forlorn-looking 'Mother Nature' figure appeared to locals during a thaw, with the melting ice and snow falling towards the sea below. The striking image of the Austfonna ice cap, located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago, would seem certain to be heavily used by environmentalists protesting against climate change.

I've ALWAYS have wanted to know how a sewing machine works!!!

A Desk In Your Car!

2009-09-02T09:14:00.000-07:00

So I personally thought of this ingenious idea back in high school, when driving around aimlessly around Santa Barbara was the "thing" to do, while eventually ending up at the beach sharing laughs and deep conversations all while hanging out in the car. Obviously you can't use this "Buddy Desk" when you're driving so if you like to steal internet from other houses (haha), take your breaks in the car or you're such a busy body that you gotta take out paperwork while talking to a client, then this thing can prove to be useful. I definitely would have used it.

The ABT Audi R8 V10

2009-08-31T08:15:00.000-07:00

This is a beast...Get the pics and specs on the jump.

"Details with the ABT Audi R8 V10 have emerged from the German auto tuning shop, and as expected, besides the modified elements that give a mean appearance, performance was enhanced as well. The ABT Audi R8 V10 uses high-end carbon and its bodywork package was designed by the DTM crew of ABT Sportsline for a perfect distribution of weight. The dynamic aspect of the ABT Audi R8 V10 is achieved by using a new front spoiler, side skirts, a rear wing and a new rear apron that includes the four tailpipes. Also the ABT Audi R8 V10 sits on 20-inch BR-type custom wheels.

As far as performance the ABT Audi R8 V10 received an extra 75 HP (55 Kw) so now the total 600 HP (441 kW) can push the car from 0 to 100 Km/h in 3.8 seconds and the maximum speed is 322 Km/h. "

I Met The Walrus | The Beatles Revolutionary Genious

2009-08-29T07:53:00.000-07:00

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. In 2007, Jerry produced the film “I Met The Walrus” using the original interview recording with the help of director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina.

“Think peace and you’ll get it. It’s up to the people…if we really wanna change it, we can change it.”
