I’ve always been a fan of the classic FJs, and these re-imagined FJs by Icon are spot on! They’ve kept the classic aesthetics while utilizing new materials and technology. Now if only I had a couple hundred thousand to spare…

marina abramovic – the artist is present

Marina Abramovic’s latest performance piece, The Artist is Present, ended a couple weeks ago. Abramovic had been sitting at Moma seven hours a day, six days a week for three weeks. Viewers were allowed to sit across from her for however long they wanted to if they chose to do so. Personally I’ve never been all that comfortable with performance art pieces. Maybe it was my own unease with public speaking / performance, but watching performance pieces, even back in art school, made me quite uncomfortable. Ofcourse that may have been the point – to provoke emotions that were not always pleasant. Be sure to visit the Moma flickr stream for more photographs.

Would it be completely wrong to buy one of these axes for my camping trips this summer? Sure, they’re so beautiful they probably belong on my wall more than the woods, but I’m certain they’ll do an awesome job at chopping wood as well. Ofcourse there’s always the price tag to consider…

There’s something nostalgic about Berry W. Ferry’s photographs.

At first I thought these were laser engraved Brooks saddles, but it turns out they’re all hand carved. I wouldn’t have the nerves to put a knife to mine, but I guess that’s just me…

kickstand coffee brooklyn

It seems most baristas in the specialty coffee world – at least the ones I’ve come across – seem to have a love for bicycles, sustainable lifestyle, and ofcourse, coffee. Kickstand coffee, based out of Brooklyn combines all three in their brilliant business model. They operate out of two custom-built carts transported by bicycles that join together to form a make shift coffee stand. This kind of operation is possible in part because of their simple menu: hot, made-to-order pour-over coffee, and cold, cold-brew coffee. Having just gotten into pour-overs myself, I was very excited to come across kickstand coffee and their operation. Just one more reason for my longing to visit New York.
