Lego Mosaic

Lego Mosaics are the least promoted and most exciting Lego product out there. You can upload a picture to their Web site and Lego will send you all the pieces you need to make your own mosaic. They are only $30 each, and make a fun and creative gift.
Apple Store Tokyo
by Josh Rubin
Steve Trautlein, for metropolis.japantoday.com, reports on the gorgeous new Apple Store in Tokyo.
By opening their five-story Ginza branch in a can't-miss location across the street from fabled depato Matsuya, Apple looks to build on the success of its US-based stores by importing that same formula into Tokyo. Tech gurus, artists, architects and musicians will all be on hand in the coming weeks to inaugurate Apple's first foray outside the US, while workshops will preach the Mac mantra to PC-weary Tokyoites.
Hoffi Design Co
by Josh Rubin
Hoffi is a design & writing team that used to do magazines and tv stuff. Now they make T-Shirts. Don't know if they use American Apparel stock (the absolute requirement for fit and quality!), but the designs are quite nice.
Digital Sundial
by Josh Rubin
Like a digital clock, the digital sundial displays the current time using digits. In the true tradition of all sundials, the device is purely passive - it operates without electricity, and has no moving parts. Instead, the sunlight is cast through two cleverly designed masks in the shape of numbers that show the current time of day. The sundial is available in two versions, for use in either hemisphere. Placed on the inside of a south-facing window (north-facing in the southern hemisphere), the sundial can be read through the horizontal mirror.

Geoff McFetridge Vandal Supremes
by Josh Rubin
Update: 24 January 2004
I just found a pair of these for $110 at Barney's New York (Madison Ave, NYC Store). Firstly, it's amazing that Barney's now sells Nike, secondly the Hanon's deal must not have been an exclusive after all. Regardless, these kicks are pretty fresh. The under layer has a funky silver print on it.

These Vandal Supremes are designed exclusively for Hanon by artist Geoff McFetridge. Upper features two layers. Top layer (like a pinstripe shirt) can be removed or frayed to reveal alternative upper.
£64.95 at Hanon
