SkullCandy Black Full Metal Jacket Earbuds

Posted on 09 January 2010 by ChristinaN

These ear buds are really rad and they sound extremely awesome. Well fitted & extremely stylish I must say. True to its name, a metal alloy casing gives the Full Metal Jacket ear buds a solid, weighty feel that appears to be much sturdier than the typical plastic ear bud casing material. The metal makes the ear buds a bit heavier than other models, but not so much heavier that they fall out of your ears. The design of the ear buds is similar to other in-ear models, with a straight ear tip that fits directly into your ear canal. The Full Metal Jacket is available in no less than 12 different color combinations, and each choice is highlighted by the Skullcandy logo adorned on the back of the ear bud as well as on the side. The Full Metal Jacket utilizes 11mm neodymium magnet drivers, which is a standard size for in ear models. The 1.2m (4 ft.) cord length is sufficient for using the earbuds with an MP3 player, but is a tad too short to use as headphones for listening to music on a PC. Thank you to Kelly over @ SkullCandy for hooking me up with these awesome ear buds that definitely look hott besides my ipod. I’d say, a MUST HAVE !

Features

  • Speaker Diameter: 11mm
  • Magnet Type: NdFeB
  • Frequency range: 16 -20K Hz
  • Impedance: 16 ohms
  • Max Input Power: 500mW
  • Cable Type: Aluminum Braided
  • Cable Length: 1.2m
  • Plug Type: 3.5mm Gold Plated

2010 Nismo 370Z

Posted on 24 September 2009 by Allen Chu

nismo370z1-570x378

The 370z has already been a huge improvement from the 350z.  The majority of the media has acclaimed it as a Porsche killer and the numbers have proved that it comes very close.  The new 2010 Nismo version of the 370z is just breathtaking and probably one of the best designed Japanese cars i’ve ever seen.  The lines are smooth yet aggressive, and every change blends together beautiful.  The The new wheelbase is wider and shorter, and the power has been bumped up 18hp to 350hp and 276 lbs ft of torque.  The Nismo version has a sportier suspension, thicker sway bars, and an LSD all combining to create an even greater driving machine.  Check out Nismo for more information.

Coarse JAWS

Posted on 23 September 2009 by Allen Chu

Check out Coarsetoys for their new line JAWS.

coarse jaws pain… the end
It had become their biggest fear. The bandages held the last traces of color in their pale bodies, but nothing could stop time from seeping away. And since life began to decline, they knew that one day this moment would come.

Standing by the waters edge for what seemed like an eternity, the noop had lost all sense of time. Deeply absorbed in his thoughts. Watching the white caps dancing on the top of the waves; like vultures in the sky they waited for him. Motionless, bearing the last battle his body had to fight out. Fighting for each minute – for every second. His nervous system had almost given in, he could no longer feel the agony.

The elastomer was cruel. This year, the same as last, and all the years before. It squeezed out every last drop from its former seedlings. The color stations that were once fully loaded with wonderful juices had now dried out and today the tubes finally ran empty.

The decline had gained in speed until today, and now began to avalanche. Sweeping away everything and everyone. Unstoppable like a torrential river, the elastomer brought in it’s harvest. It finally asserted its right to feed. Feed itself and the next generation.

A sound interrupted his thoughts. He turned around with a jolt. Paw was closing in on him. In previous months he would have made an escape. His heart was pounding but his body had lost the power to move… as paw drew nearer, his instincts urged him to run. But now he could see that even paw’s life span had expired. He was just as pale as the noop. And his face without emotion.

Paw stopped right next to him and clasped his hand. Together they stared out to sea as their existence reflected upon them. At the same moment they both knew it was time. They closed their eyes.

Greatest iPhone Case Ever Produced

Posted on 18 September 2009 by Allen Chu

In times of extreme desperation come necessary extreme actions. Dubbed the Recession Case, Case-Mate has taken what I can only assume is all of their left over packaging material and created a product that will forever go down in history. Made completely out of cardboard the case goes for a meager $0.99 or $7.99 for 10. I cannot emphasize the pure awesomeness of this product. Check out Case-Mate for purchasing information.
