23 year old Emil Ahlén woke up to the smell of burnt plastic, and he looked down on the floor where he had put his iPhone before he got to sleep and yes there where flames coming out of the charger socket, and the plastic that surrounds the charger socket was molten, he quickly got hold of an towel and successfully killed the fire. Now however the Swedish company that sells the iPhone TELIA wont help him they have been tossing the iPhone between them and Apple for a couple of days, and Apples spokes man in Sweden is not giving media any information, he tells us to wait for the spokes man in England to give a press release.

Since the release of the Apple iPhone world wide the 11th of july the hype has been huge and they have sold a lot of phones, i just hope for the sake of the rest of us iPhone users that this is an isolated situation. And that Steve Jobs helps Emil Ahlén in this case, show some of the Apple goodwill.

I just got addicted, worse than ever i mean i love photography but i think I’m on the edge on real addiction. Today i learned some sweet stuff in photoshop, i also bought a new lens for my Nikon D40 (50mm f1.8) i can’t find words for the stokedness in the optics (and in me)

This weekend i also played around with the Nikon Kit Lens, 18-55mm i like it to, but hey you can’t compare it to the fixed optics, and the best part is that the cameras might change over the years but you will always have your Lenses. I borrowed my dads old Nikkor lenses from the 80’s and they preform very well, you have my word. I’ll try to post some images so you can see what over 20 year old lenses are worth.
During the mean time enjoy my NYC miniature and i do daily updates on my Flickr stream I have had my Nikon D40 for a while now and just give me a small hint if you would like me to review it for you, because i would love to do it! Well have a happy morning and enjoy your morning coffee - Over n’ Out

Death Race 2000 is a remake of the original Death Race 2000 from 1975, yes its a Hollywood re-make. I saw some footage from this film a couple of days ago and went - Hey thats a sweet re-make.
One more reason why i like this movie; Jason Statham, i like kinda every movie he plays in so that gives me hope and also brings out a sort of comfortness in me. The tiniest preview of this movie is available on iTunes or Apple Trailers, its 60 seconds long and give you a raw feeling of how this movie gonna play out! Please note that sensitive people shall not see this movie because its raw, raw and mother fucking RAW!

Well right now i have a black neopren case, witch i don’t use that much. But when i saw these hand crafted sleeves in felt, something just gave me that exclusivity twang and the simpleness in the design are just speaking to me. The quality in their designs are better than ever and take a look at hard craft and maybe order one or more sleeves.

We have had a break, i know that a lot of you people don’t like it, but sometimes you just need to get away from everything, but the summer season is over and we are soon back on track with loads of new and improved stories. This is one of my favorite workspace designs right now, simple and elegant. See more over at the flickr photostream

The grand artist Lupe Fiasco (Wiki). Had a competition where you could re-design the album cool and win a 1000$ plus the name on the new cover, witch will be released in a limited edition. You can buy the t-shirt here at Karma Loop

I always loved Spain, i love wine, and vineyards to. A big dream of mine is that one day own a vineyard and sell a small quantity of wine every season. This house i located in just Spain but not on the main land but on the vacation island of Mallorca.
It’s not one of my favorite styles on a house but i still like it in some aspects, what do you think?

This is me, well not me in person but this architectural style really speaks my language. This house is located in Mar Azul, Argentina by Ignacio Montaldo Architects
This is another house that speaks my style and form language, The other day while i was chopping vegetables in the kitchen just preparing the food for the service i thought about what i want to do when i grow up, i think i wanna be an architect. House by, Benjamin Murua & Constanza Infante
Then when it comes to the interior of the house this is what things could look like in my future house, well a person is always allowed to dream right. I like the metropolitan style that breaths urban and big city life. Recently my Girlfriend fixed some bits and pieces in our home, and we also got our bedroom fixed after 1 year of drying a wall, yes there was a leak but now its fixed, and we are planning what to do with the bedroom, this is some inspiration for both us and others out there.

This is the year when one of the most legendary companies turns a 100 years. Its the Shoe company Converse, and now they want us to buy even more of there cranked up juicy shoes and to do just that and create the right vibes they have merged the singer from The Strokes, Julian Casablanca, Hype Machine phenomena Santogold and the super producer Pharrell Williams. I like N.E.R.D’s new sound and i can feel some of those vibes in this song to, the over amped Jimmy Hendrix guitar rifts with the sweaty Pharrell beat boxing.
 
For the production and animation work converse can brag with Psyop and there portfolio is big, great things have arise from their master minds. I love the stop motion feeling and it kinda sets the entire image on the My Drive Tru experience, the rumor has it that it took a set of 30 animators 2 months and 9580 digital paper dolls to create the video, so its nothing for a single designer to take on, if you don’t have a spare year or two and willingly want to send every waken hour in front of the computer. What do you think of the song/video?

Im kinda a Camera geek, and this is the latest from Panasonic, the Lumix DMC-LX3 one of the most advanced point & shoot systems that will be on the market next month. The Camera is a PRO worthy and has a F2.0 24mm Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens. 10.1 megapixels and an ultra-sensitive 1/1.63-inch CCD. The compact cam captures photos up to ISO 3200 at full resolution. The Camera also features full manual control for those awesome photos and better range on your sets. An other amazing feature is the ability to record HD in 24FPS in 1280 x 720… And all this for just 500$ witch translate into 290€

To start with i have been looking at an Adidas watch for ages now, a black plastic one with gold details, a sport watch. However just by accident i was walking past the local clock store and i saw the Casio A-164w, a geek or nerd watch. I just got in love with it the same second i tried it on, like one or two years ago i was very anti-watches because i had my cellphone but now Im kinda into watches. The Casio has a thin chain, and is water resistant down to 50 meters. has a clear digital screen, Alarm, stopwatch and 12/24 hour measure. even though the chain is super thin there is some weight to the watch, the retro looking and hart pounding design is something for a geek like my goes well with all the geek chick clothes that is out there. Verdict… i just love it, might not fit my regular style but i just love it. (buy 58$)

This ultra-compact shooter has the usual set of features — 10-megapixel resolution, a 2.7 inch LCD, 5x optical zoom so you can easily spy on those neighbors, maximum ISO of 1600, and Dual Image Stabilization just for the shaky times, like when you ride a bull or maybe going upside down in a bad ass roller-coaster. But what sets The Samsung TL9 apart from other cameras is MP3/PMP capability and two awesome empty/full analog gauges that track remaining battery life and memory capacity. (280$)

Finally the clock has turned 9:20 Am and Im live from the Que in Falkenberg Sweden. We did not have the opportunity to have a store that opened 00:00:01 so now im here instead and we are now 9 people in the line, incredible or just truly geeky? 

UPDATE
There are now 14 persons in line for the iphone in Falkenberg, and the rumor is that there are less than 40 iPhones in the store… no one knows..

We are now 10 minutes from the release, and the que is getting bigger, there are people from many parts in sweden, and they are truly geeks.

 

So, i called into my local Carphone Warehouse, and as always i got onto the Topic of iPhone 3G. we talked and talked and then i asked “Do you have the release time yet” And she Said, “Yes”. so at this point i get out my mobile to type it down so i dont forget. 

 

So!

 

The Time Is……

 

7.02 AM

 

I Had to ask if it was confirmed and yes, it was. they had received an email of the proceedings of July 11th I.e. Time, activation And so on.

 

So get ready for an Early start, i know i am.

 

This is Manhattan, more than 100 years ago, mankind has accomplished so many things in that century. We have made the earth nearly impossible to inhabit, we have pulled out to much oil from the soil we live on. And we have made technical break troughs that are to me, unbelievable. I like this shot of the Columbus Circle, it makes me realize that we are just humans, and not so many years ago, we where very primitive and had no idea about the future, we still don’t and we are not brighter in our minds, we are however still humans and we fight to survive. This is columbus circle today… We are here to stay.

I’ll admire and desire until the day i die, and I’ll do it with pride and self confidence. This house is just one of those things you admire, and somewhat just want to see every day of your life. Maybe not live in but at least see it, maybe having it as a neighbor. I’ll give you some more pictures just so you can get the feeling of it and the atmosphere that surrounds it.
Walking out this sliding door every sunday morning and taking a minor dip in that sweet looking pool wouldn’t be wrong.
 
Or reading your favorite Interior Design Magazine in this little library, relaxing in that special chair.
 
Or why not spend every night in this lovely, close to nature experience… Lets just say this is a house to love, if you live in it or just live by it. To see more photos and plans on the house click here

Hey and sorry for being out of news, it’s summer here and we are getting into the position where we work more and harder with other stuff then WASF. However, we will try our best to keep the news flowing and maybe turn down a bit on the quantity and express our selves in quality.
 
So we hope to see you guys in here a lot, and to continue delivering good quality content because you deserve it.
