Links - Jan 22nd


Tokyo Flash - Unique watches from Japan...I just picked up the JLR7 on Craigslist and it's great. Despite the fact it looks nothing like a "normal" watch - after a few days of practice...it's pretty easy to read.


Vandalism That Pays - Most people who wake up in the morning to find their property vandalized are rightfully pissed off. This wasn't the case for a London property owner who had his building pieced by Banksy - today's pop culture graffiti star. Lucky for the property owner, he knew the popularity and value of Banksy's work. Instead of buffing the piece, the property owner cut the wall off the building and sold it on ebay for an exorbitant amount of dough.

Unique USB Cards - People are doing some pretty fun things with USB cards. I came across this sitethrough the GeekAlert blog. I've also found some other cool USB cards on Etsy - an online market place for artists.

Flash Flood Kills 2 Writers - Two graffiti writers were killed in Australia when flash floods ripped through the drainage system they were painting in. One of the writers managed to slip through the bars at the end of the drainage system and barely escaped death. More here.


Designer AR-15 - You're about to leave your house but you know you are forgetting something. Hmmm...what could it be...oh yah...your hello kitty AR15...you bought it to match your handbag.

Heres another USB dog, but it isn't actually a USB key. It serves no purpose but to hump your laptop...

if his work is immediately taken off the wall (sold or buffed), do you think it undermines the essence of what banksy is trying to do

p.s. really enjoying your blog...im a lazy excuse for a blogger
