A Ghanaian highlife singer gone horribly right, Ata Kak is a visionary. He spits serious rhymes, waxes romantic, and issues lo-fi digital quick-shrieks. Love the “Dance The Line Flashback 1989″ clip footage.

On a hot, humid, east coast summer day I can start the day with an iced coffee, and pretty much keep mainlining it until the sun goes down.   Meaning, I really, really like it.  I drink it through the fall until it gets to the cold-weather point that it becomes ridiculous that I’m wearing gloves to hold my iced coffee cup.  I’m actually beginning to wonder if it might be time for me to stop refilling the ever-present pitcher in the fridge with the leftovers from the hubs pot …

Also can we puh-lease talk about the awesome devil horns symbol to signify that you like the post??   Brilliant.
Just sayin’.

This is what I spent the latter part of my afternoon on.  Custom personal calling cards.

This poster by Ork Posters is so frickin’ cool.  Some good friends have the Brooklyn neighborhoods one in their living room, and I covet it every time I’m there.  This one is amazing and might very soon be going up in the bedroom.

I even almost have the pen tool down.  Bezier curve THAT, friend!

Fun times at the 2009 CMWC Finals in Tokyo.
video & more pics after the jump.

Coming up this saturday at the Petersen automotive museum in LA, the awsomest car auction I’ve ever seen. I’m normally not concerned with material things, but man, do I wish I had a few hundred grand to spare.
Some highlights…
