Bamboocycle!




We all know the strength and beauty associated with bamboo, but did you ever think about using it to make a bicycle? Unless your one of my crazy obsessed bike friends *Cough Cough*....you know who you are....then probably not. This great piece of work is the idea of 24-year-old Mexican industrial designer Diego Cardenas. The Bamboocycle UH-02 bike, is eco-friendly by integrating bamboo into the frames design. If bikes weren't already environmentally sustainable, well they are now. For those of you who are interested in reading more about these amazing bikes, heres a link to their website.

Sufjan Stevens

<a href="http://sufjanstevens.bandcamp.com/track/too-much">Too Much by Sufjan Stevens</a>

I recently started listening to Sufjan Stevens, "Come On Feel the Illinoise", again. Which led me to searching for anything new he had. I came across his band camp page and saw this post for a free MP3 of his new single "Too Much", off his new album "The Age of Adz" (pronounced odds). Its going to be his first full length album of original songs since the "Illinoise" album. This song is really different from his other projects, so it will be interesting to hear the rest of the tracks when the album comes out. Download it, turn it up, and enjoy!

Crysis 2 'The Wall' Trailer [HD]



Another great game is coming to XBOX and PS3 platforms this November! "Crysis" was a PC game first and now "Crysis 2" is going to be available for all gamers. I had never heard of it before this, but Earn filled me in on it and showed me this trailer and I was immediately excited! The trailer looks so creepy and the girl singing the song just adds to the creepy-ness. Hopefully I wont be too afraid to play this one alone haha! Aliens, a full high-tech body suit, and great gameplay quality...amazing!

So What?




I usually don't care about what tasteless people think, but I ran across this pic of Kanye West in a nice outfit carrying a gorgeous bag on MediaTakeOut (In the pic you can see the dumb comments they were making) and all they could say was he's gay because of it! First off so what if he's gay....second I happen to think the bangles and purse (actually the whole outfit) make him more attractive. I guess I just like men with a sense of fashion and taste. I hope you all agree with me.
