Evolution of the Batmobile
For the comic book nerds and Batman fanatics.
Personally, I think the ’89 Tim Burton edition is the dopest. Wonder what it will look like in the next Batman.
Barack Cross Section
Kinda dope.

The Earth is about the size of that Black dot on the Sun’s surface. Puts things in perspective.
Nike Air Max Lebron VIII Shoe Tour w/ Designer Jason Petrie
I know I’m a little late, but I gotta admit these are kinda dope. The toe box is real clean and the design is kinda fresh. Man, I remember back in the day when I wanted to design sneakers….
AJ VI x Batboot
In 1992 Tinker “Sneaker God” Hatfield designed the batboot for Batman Returns using the Air Jordan 6 as the foundation. Dope shit.
Save The Planet, Cop Cardboard Kicks
Sculptor Mike Leavitt has recognized the artistic merits of sneakers and fashions cardboard sculptures out of some of our favorite kicks. On top of that they’re pretty damn good. Buying one of these will set you back $500.

President Obama’s Rolling Stone Interview
Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner just published a lengthy interview with Barack Obama in which he was asked about Rolling Stone’s forte, popular music:
What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?
My iPod now has about 2,000 songs, and it is a source of great pleasure to me. I am probably still more heavily weighted toward the music of my childhood than I am the new stuff. There’s still a lot of Stevie Wonder, a lot of Bob Dylan, a lot of Rolling Stones, a lot of R&B, a lot of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Those are the old standards.
A lot of classical music. I’m not a big opera buff in terms of going to opera, but there are days where Maria Callas is exactly what I need.
Thanks to Reggie [Love, the president's personal aide], my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days.

Jay-Z speaks on his new book “Decoded”.
“When I first started working on this book, I told my editor that I wanted it to do three important things. The first was to make the case that hip-hop lyrics — not just my lyrics, but those of every great MC — are poetry if you look at them closely enough. The second was I wanted the book to tell a little bit of the story of my generation, to show the context for the choices we made at a violent and chaotic crossroads in recent history. And the third piece was that I wanted the book to show how hip-hop created a way to take a very specific and powerful experience and turn it into a story that everyone in the world could feel and relate to.”
- Jay-Z
Jay-Z’s, “Decoded,” will go on sale November 16th and contains a breakdown of 36 of Jay-’s songs.
Q-Tip x Jay-Z x Kanye=Classic Material in the works.
“You know, I hate to sound self-involved but I feel like I haven’t peaked yet. I have a lot to give still. I still look the part… I still got it. I’m getting ready to work on stuff for Mary J. Blige
… Kanye and I are gonna continue to work together. We’re doing some stuff for Jay-Z’s new album that’s coming out in the spring, and then after Jay’s thing I’m gonna start recording my new album…Kanye should be working on that, too.”
“Etch A Sketch” iPad Case
Headcase and Etch A Sketch combine on an officially licensed iPad case. The once popular analog toy has become somewhat of a cultural relic as it not only enhances the aesthetics of your iPad but also offers a protective aspect to your device. Additionally, all buttons, ports and switches are fully accessible with a retractable kickstand available for keyboard use and viewing.
Makes me want an iPad.
