charity: water by Ami Kealoha
The good people of Flavorpill have joined up with NYC club promoter Scott Harrison's non-profit charity: water to help raise funds bringing the most basic of needs, clean water, to rural Ethiopia. By purchasing a $20 virtual bottle of water, 100% of your contribution goes towards building a new well in the area, which costs a total of $4,000. Flavorpill has donated half and is asking for the rest of us to pitch in the rest. It's a small, targeted action to help the one billion people in the world who don't have access to clean water and alleviate the sickness, disease and death tolls the problem brings.

Porsche Design Studio for Fearless Yachts
Fearless Yachts of Miami Beach offer some of the sleekest, most attractive watercraft we've seen in quite some time. It's probably no accident that these speedboats—Models 28 and 68 we find most appealing—are something a worthy of Sonny Crocket or a James Bond supervillain. Designed by Porsche Design Studios, each vessel is built for speed and control and worthy of the moniker yacht (which...
