Don’t Believe the Hypebeast >> Supreme Installs Software On Site to Prevent Sales, LOL!

Leave a reply

I recently subscribed to this feed and they’re pretty damn funny…

In an effort to make their online experience similar to that oftheir stores, skate shop Supreme has installed a new software on theirsite to prevent the sale of any product to consumers.

This new software includes a filter that blocks the user from seeingthe price, availibility or quantity of product on hand. You can tryemailing the webmasters, but they will probably to busy doing olliesand other gnarly skate tricks to get back to you.

denim update

3 Replies

I’ve fully retired my RRDS coz they are way too baggy for my liking, I still rock the APC NS, but maybe because I skate in them a lot, they are pretty damn baggy as well, at least around the ass… 😉 I am working on a pair of Dior Homme 19cm raw right now and I love the fit. I’m on my 2nd week with them and they’ve stretched out to a perfect fit. The stretching process was short and was nowhere as painful as the APC NS!!

I snapped some pics to document the progress on my Nudies RRDS and APC NS, the RRDS got about 3 months of actual wear, the APC has about 4 months. I haven’t wash or soak either of them. I actually bought them pretty much the same time but I had to exchange my RRDS twice to get the right size, and the 2 times took over 3 weeks, the third time I found out Kitchener actually could ship global priority (whatever the Swiss equivalent is called) and got the 2nd replacement within a few days. That’s why the APC’s got more an extra month of wear and it really shows on the denim.

Anyway, here are some pics, enjoy…

Canon Double Rebate is back

Leave a reply

New releases like the 400D and the new 50/1.2L don’t qualify. Notice the 30D and 5D got pretty damn good rebate, which I take as a sign that their follow-on’s will be showing up real soon. That 85/1.2L II is tempting. More info here and actual PDF with all rules and restrictions here…

what the iPhone must have for me to get one…

1 Reply

So with the trademark registrations and stuff, iPhone is for real… well… hopefully they would release a CDMA version, but I highly doubt that given their previous relationship with Cingular… I am sorta a Apple fanboy, but for me to get one It has to have EvDO, a kickass camera, full “smartphone” features such as a real browser, a QWERTY keyboard, kickass chat-like SMS app, office apps, pdf viewer, image viewer, good email client with IMAP-SSL support, Outlook/Exchange/Scalix over-the-air sync for mails, calendars, contacts, tasks, and it would be nice to have an SDK to write my own apps (so we can have a native Google map like I can on my Treo)… I assume iSync would support it to sync with AddressBook and i{Cal,Tunes,Photo} so I probably won’t need Missing Sync anymore. I don’t care about windoze users, but to be commercially successful they would also have to support Outlook sync and what not, which is annoying coz Outlook royaly sucks.

Well, I would be really surprised if the first iPhone thinggie would satisfy all my requirements… As much as I hate how unstable my Treo 700p is, it is awesome when it works and I actually depend on it like crazy…

Bizzare stuff going on at Swatch Group

Leave a reply

Chuck Maddox wrote a very entertaining post at his watch blog, I love this part:

All a Tachymetre bezel is a scale that divides the 3600 (the number of minutes (60) times the number of seconds (60) = 3,600) by the number of seconds to generate a “Units per Hour” indication. The number would be the same if measuring Kilometre’s, miles, or furlongs. Why anyone would do a conversion when one is not necessary is confounding.

I think it was added coz NASCAR fans are dumb, LOL!

diam, this dude got some insane wear for 4 months!

Leave a reply

these are superfuture member kumo’s APC NS, 4 months, no wash. Those are some insanely nice honeycombs! Mine are about 4 months of actual wear since I alternated between my RRDS and APC, but my ‘combs are nowhere defined like those!! I even starched the first 2 months or so, but got lazy at the end.

Also I now kindda wish I let them bunched up instead of cuffing them… 😉

friendster was started coz founder wanted to meet girls, lol…

Leave a reply

“Basically, Jonathan wanted to meet girls,” said Mark Pincus, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who provided Abrams with seed money at the end of 2002. “He told me himself, he started Friendster as a way to surf through his friends’ address books for good-looking girls.”
