Something in advance
2008-06-03 01:50:00 - - - - I know I?ve been ignoring the bag?s reviews lately, so I decided to catch up with this one. It?s probably something you won?t be very fond of since it?s not the typical summer bag choice, but anyway, that?s my decision for a review. What I like about this bag is what I like about every big bag ? there?s nothing you can?t carry in it. It?s practical and at the same time fashionable. And what I specifically like in the model is the small handle. The way it?s narrowed on the top brings me back in time. It looks like an old fashioned travel bag, but at the same time it has the today?s modern look. As I said it?s not the perfect choice for the summer season and I certainly don?t see it in combination with fairy summer dresses or shorts, or even summer suits, but it?s charming and great looking and something I can?t just pass by and not review. The right season for i...

Can?t go without them
2008-05-30 03:28:00 - - - - If you think the summer shoes are just flip-flops, sandals or flats you?re so wrong. And what about the guys - they can?t wear flip-flops all the time right. So the almighty sneakers come to the rescue again. I know I?ve written a couple of sneakers reviews already, but there?s always something else to be said. And there are so many different models out there that I just can?t get enough. So now with this review I?m paying special attention to all the guys. I?ve chosen this particular model because I think it looks classy (as much as sneakers can look that way). I like the dull colors and the contrast they make with the white sole and laces. I also like the fact that the colors are easy for combinations (we all know how bad it can get if we leave a guy to combine colors) ? black and white just go with everything so the room for mistake is practically zero. You ...

GLAM MEDIA LAUNCHING REVENUE-SHARING VIDEO PLATFORM
2008-05-29 06:00:00 Glam CEO Samir Arora(Credit: Rafe Needleman/CNET Networks) CARLSBAD, Calif.--Glam Media is launching a new platform for content distribution, the GlamTV Platform. It will allow the video assets in its woman-focused network of sites to be shared to new destinations, and more importantly, everyone in the value chain of the distribution will collect a piece of the advertising revenue. Videos on the Brightcove platform will also work on GlamTV. "It's a rights-managed platform end to end," Glam Media CEO Samir Arora told me at the D6 conference here. An example he provided: Let's say the editor of SheFinds, an independent site, saw some video on a Glam site that she wanted for her site. On the TV Platform, she would grab the embed code for the video, but unlike with a YouTube video, once the media played, all the participants in the value chain would share in the advertising revenue--SheFinds, the Glam site that acquired the video, and potentially the contract video producer as...

Glam girl Simran happy playing mom on screen
2008-05-27 08:45:00 After giving three back-to-back flops there are no takers for Tamil cinema's former glamour girl Simran. She is only getting offers to play mother, but she isn't complaining. "I don't mind playing mom roles if they have something special. Gautham Menon offered me a good role as Surya's mother in 'Vaaranam Aayiram' and I am also doing Hari-directed 'Seval' with Bharat in the lead. Both the roles appealed to me," Simran, who took a short break from acting after tying the knot with Deepak Bagga in 2003, said. Success eluded Simran when she tried to make a comeback after her son's birth in 2005. She featured in Tamil film 'Kicha, Vayasu 16', Malayalam movie 'Heart Beats' and two Telugu films - 'Okka Magadu' and 'John Apparao 40+' opposite Jai Akash, Indrajith and Balakrishna and newcomer Krishna Bhagwan respectively, but none of them fared well. When she experimented with TV as the anchor of a Tamil reality show, it backfired because she had crossed the wrong side of th...
Combine
2008-05-27 01:37:00 - - - - This may be a little too much for the hot summer days, but if you?re working in an office or any other place requiring more formal wear, it can be just perfect. The color might be too bright for you, but I?m sure the outfit comes in variety of them, so you just have to take your pick. For me this is one nice, fresh looking color that takes the combination away from the conventional and boring. The white blouse underneath the blue vest makes it stand out even more and makes the entire outfit look more professional and formal. The belt also adds up to the more formal look and also makes it follow the latest fashion trends. The combination can be easily combined with skirts or pants. My choice will be something in the dark shades (black, dark blue), this way the attention will be focused on the upper body part. If you want to turn this outfit into som...

Don?t hate me
2008-05-23 02:42:00 - - - Here?s another item that most girls will hate me for, but I just couldn?t resist. I like shorts. I think they look awesome. And there?s something else ? you can?t just wear shorts, because you?re skinny. You actually have to work out to be able to wear shorts and look great in them. So for the bigger girls out there ? you?re not the only ones that have to make an effort in order to look good in the chose clothes. And back to the shorts ? those are a real lifesaver in the hot summer days when you want to wear as less clothing as possible. After all, it rarely gets any less than that. And the model in the picture looks just perfect. Starting with the color ? the ultimate white ? if you still haven?t noticed the white color is practically everywhere this summer. It?s fresh, it?s gentle and it?s very eye-catchy. The model is low cut (adding to my ?as less as possible? descrip...

Sometimes the color can change everything
2008-05-20 01:26:00 - - - - Now, let?s see if I can wow you with that. Does it look better than the previous item reviewed? For some yes, others will hate it, I know. It?s a dress for skinnier girls only, as it?s pretty short one, but I?m sure as much as some will hate it others are gonna absolutely fall for it. The thing is sexy and seductive, yet very gentle and if it was white I would absolutely call it innocent looking. Being black is exactly what makes it so sexy. It?s the perfect little black dress, if you ask me. It looks kinda formal and can absolutely be worn to events like that, but for myself I put it in the casual chart. It makes the perfect party dress, especially if you have intentions of gathering all of the attention. I?m not such a big fan of the flowery element on the top part, but when thinking about it, it?s exactly what makes the dress unique. On the ...

Schmap for the iPhone and iPod Touch
2008-05-15 23:39:00 When we first learned about Schmap digital travel guides a couple years back, we loved the concept but were frustrated by the lack of options for Macs. With their new beta version for iPhones and iPod Touches, they've one-upped themselves by providing their interactive maps in a format designed to take advantage of the device's unique capabilities. Using the gyro feature and either a city guide or local search, when the phone or iPod is horizontal it displays (much like Google Maps) a split-screen with mapped locations on one side and a dynamically-updated list on the other. It also embeds info, just like Google Maps, enabling users to click through to websites and phone numbers or to look up the address using the local widget (to find directions, for example). While it's a little confusing to have to scroll lists using two fingers, the resource is a great way to find a coffee shop in a strange city or discover any number of useful or fun places.

Vladmasters
2008-05-15 21:45:00 On a recent visit to Blue Bottle art gallery and store in Seattle, I picked up an amazing set of View Master reels. Now normally any old set of View Master reels is enough to get me excited, but these actually caused me to jump up an down a little bit. The Vladmaster disk sets were created by a Portland artist named Vladimir, who started creating her own reels from second-hand View Masters in 2003 by interpreting stories by Franz Kafka. After learning how to create 3-D photographs, she built miniature scenes, photographed them and glued the resulting images into custom-printed reels. Originally, the Vladmasters were viewed like short films in theaters, where accompanying music would follow the images and a clanging bell would instruct hundreds of people to click their View Masters simultaneously. Each of her creations can be purchased in a small paper folder that can be taken home for your own private viewing pleasure. The sets contain four Vladmaster reels and a mini disc with ...

Muto: An Ambiguous Animation Painted on Public Walls
2008-05-15 20:06:00 Blu has created one of the most incredible stop-motion animations I've seen. Painted on walls in Buenos Aires and Baden over this past winter, the piece features a black-and-white creature that morphs into various blobby forms. Starting off as a multi-armed monster, it constantly shifts with the most consistent tropes involving head changes—from spiky to cubed to round, etc. and sometimes devouring/birthing itself. There's also plenty of other mind-bending evolutions involving things like crawling teeth and creepy bugs. It gets even better when the creature(s) interact with the surrounding details, crawling into corners and snatching pieces of paper off the wall with a frog-like tongue. via Dreamers, thanks Schatz!

Nike Flywire
2008-05-15 01:32:00 Nike's newest and most exciting innovation presented at the Sportswear Exhibition at a new Nike space called Cable 8 in Beijing had everyone talking. Named Flywire it entails the use high-tensile Vectran threads (stronger than Kevlar) which cut down on weight of the product yet adds stability. What's particularly unique about the new technology is that Nike's found a way to use it in both their footwear and apparel lines. The technique not only adds a totally new kind of support but also an original graphic look to the product. The Air Max 90 Flywire features seamless construction and Flywire threads in strategic spots lend support but not weight. In fact, it's the lightest Air Max 90 ever.

Highlights from the Spring 2008 ITP Show
2008-05-15 00:20:00 Our pilgrimage to the ITP show yesterday yielded more than a few great finds. From musical interpretations of an individual "color profile" and automated paintbrush robots to oversize models of a scrotum and a digital version of Exquisite Corpse, the projects (as usual) ran the gamut from the sublime to the absurd. Colorful Melody Colorful Melody analyzes a person's color profile based on their skin color, clothing and other factors. Using that data, the interactive device maps the profile onto a grid. Units of the grid fall, creating a sound based on the color of the unit. As the subject continues to interact with the device, the melody changes. The Spectators Another interactive experiment, The Spectators, also involves an individual's behavior and the responses it triggers, but with a darker undertone. In this case, a person stands in front of a screen which generates a pixelated image of them. Every time the subject blinks, the image is disrupted by acts of torture, deformi...

Interview with Miranda Donovan
2008-05-14 22:34:00 The first solo show for any young artist must be a nerve-wracking and exhilarating experience, even more so when at one of London's most cutting-edge galleries. But young British artist Miranda Donovan, who finds herself in this very position, is taking it all in her stride. Her exhibition The Lost World of Innocence opened at the Lazarides Gallery in Soho last week to great acclaim. A sure sign of Donovan's very bright future in the art world is the fact that every piece in the exhibition sold before the opening night. We've mentioned Donovan's work before in connection to the Saatchi Gallery Showdown, now that's she progressed from online to in-gallery we decided to find out what's going on behind her landscape scenes.
