Gnotorious B.I.G.


This one’s hot off the press! Remember that hot mashup The Grey Album by DJ Dangermouse which featured Jay-Z vocals over Beatles tunes? In an ironic twist, the DJ duo who goes by the name Sound Advice, have chopped and screwed Gnarls Barkley tracks together with the lyrics of the Notorious B.I.G. The result is a mashup album called The Gnotorious Gnarls Biggie. The tracks have been removed several times from MySpace, but can now be listened to at Gnotorious.com. There’s no telling how long this site will be up, as I’m sure the record labels are having a fit over this one. Listen now while you still can.

The Bipedestrian



The folks at Xylon Bikes are going old skool with this range of wooden frames for your two wheeler. The designs are made of wood and beautifully finished to add a retro feel to the frame work. The four designs, Cell, Oll, Klassic and Singera differ from one another so that you could purchase all four and flash a new design each day. If you happen to be a bike fashion connoisseur, just add wooden clogs and your Heidi on a bike!

The Prance Electric


Last night a host of fancy society-types, car buffs and our good friends from AutoBlog got a unique chance to check out Tesla's electric sports car. The zero-emissions whip (it's so green it doesn't even have a tailpipe) will get about 250 miles on a single charge, and reaches speeds of about 130-miles per hour, with a 0-60 time hovering around a pretty impressive 4-seconds. Stop driving it long enough to peek under the hood and you'll find a 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor and a Power Electronics Module at the heart of this slick ride. Don't run out to the car dealership yet, as these babies aren't hitting the streets until mid-2007, and when they do, they'll run you somewhere between $80,000 and $120,000.

Cooler Fan


It's getting hot in the ATL, so having a decent fan at hand is a necessity right now. Most on the market favor function over form, but the Tykho Fan looks, and keeps you, cool. Designed by Marc Berthier and made by Lexon, its safe rubber blades spin at two speeds, and come in several colors. An example is also kept in the permanent collection of Paris's Centre Pompidou.
