The Reversible Zombie Shirt
Someday, when I look back on my life, I would like to say that I had at least one moment of genius. While I don't advocate the label be applied lightly, I do have my own opinions as to what qualifies. This t-shirt, being given away by Capcom to promote an upcoming Resident Evil video game, is someone's moment of genius. Kudos to you sir. Kudos.Glenn via portland mercury

Os Gêmeos Mural, NYC
Os Gêmeos are Brazilian bros who make some of the most unique street art anywhere. I have to say I'm not always a fan, but their ambition and audacity sometimes combine to produce works of extraordinary quality and presence.
While I wouldn't say this is one of their best or boldest, I'm really struggling with finding content on days that are not beautiful and sunny and require me to be outside. Summertime has absorbed virtually all of my time, and therefore only on shabby, rainy days like today (and there have only been a few) can I truly immerse myself in the internets.Anyway, this piece was done over a tribute mural to Keith Haring somewhere in NYC. The post on hypebeast is probably the least helpful thing I've ever read, so I'm going to check on location and get back to you in the next paragraph...
Right. So this is on the corner of Houston St. and Bowery, which I think is on the Lower East Side, but I'm from the midwest so do your own research if you plan to go searching.

NeoLithic Ceramic Cooking Knives
Throwback knives. Who would've guessed. These ceramic blades are inspired by rudimentary cooking tools used by neolithic man. I don't think you can go wrong with steel blades and nice safe wooden handles, but apparently designer Matthias Kaeding would beg to differ.So they look neat, but really, I don't see...the point? God I'm on fire today.
These are prototypes I guess, as there is no word on a release on any of the sites I visited.

iSaw
My favorite USB gadget since the monkey handwarmers I discovered last winter. This is, in fact, an operable chainsaw powered via USB port. The 3/8" saw chain is capable of sawing through real wood and, one would assume, flesh and bone. Hooray for crazy office toys. According to the manufacturer:"Cut through different types of wood as you would with a full-sized electric chainsaw. Saw chain (included) delivers fast cutting speed with good efficiency. i.Saw guide bar is also compatible with most third-party saw chains."
No offense to the USB missile launcher set, but I think you've been outclassed here. This new office tool must certainly be...a cut above the rest (Dr. Evil pinky touch to the lower lip)?The iSaw is 15.2 x 5.8 x 5.1 inches and weighs 8.2 lbs, so this is a very real, no-fucking-around chainsaw, and will be shipped in the fall of 2009.
Available for pre-order here for $59.95 plus shipping.

Overpriced Sneaker Watch: adidas Micropacer LE
Here's a new offering from adidas: the Micropacer LE "60 Years of Soles and Stripes" available for $175(?!?!) here.$175? Mother of god I need to get into this extortionist sneaker racket. I mean, $175 for high performance footwear I can see, but my god these are showpiece sneakers. They're probably made out of vinyl and super glue. Adidas usually comes with reasonably priced gear, but apparently not this time. Sheesh.

USA 2-0 Spain
The United States Men's National Team beat Spain in the FIFA Confederations' Cup in South Africa about 2 minutes ago and I am losing my mind so I will have to write more later. Spain has had its 15-game winning streak and 35-game unbeaten streaks terminated by my boys who play their SOCCER for the USA. European club teams take note: sign these boys up.pic: Jozy Altidore celebrates the opener versus Spain.
