The new super slick MacBook Air is only 0.16 to 0.76 inch thick. For those that know sign language of iphone and ipod touch, the MacBook Air includes an oversized trackpad with multi-touch technology. You can pinch, swipe, or rotate to zoom in on text and photos. It looks awesome, but looks don’t take the place of a DVD drive and multiple USB ports.. It’s being offered with only a 80 gig hard drive (same type of hard drive found in an ipods) or a 64GB solid-state drive.. Only 80 gig or 64 gig.. humm.

Refabricating City

Been in China for a minute. Although Hong Kong is considered a part of China now. It’s good to be back in Hong Kong.

My dude Andy Lee turned me on to the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture.

They counldn’t have picked a better place to hold the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture. It is being held at an old Central Booking Police Station Compound, right in the middle of “Central”. CBPS connects to the Victoria Jail which is also hosting exhibitions of the Biennale. Being able to walk through what looked liked 6×4 jail cells, and Central Booking rooms was pretty cool. There was an overall constraint vs freedom aspect to the show.. While looking at plans for new mega buildings, and ideas on how to network cities together you couldn’t help but be reminded of the total opposite constraint that people felt when the jail was occupied.

I think it says something like cassette being an indie fashion brand out of Los Angeles catering to the creative fashion community.

Man, China is on the come up. The Peoples Republic of China is so ill. This place is the wild wild west but in the east. Cash rules everything around here. There’s a fine line of anything goes, but just don’t get caught doing something stupid. A country of contrast. Overnight billionaires to people still living off of rocksoup in the same town as the billionaires, and everyones getting their hustle on.

On the way to port town of Shun De (Shun Duh) P.R.C. for our tour of factory visits through southern China.

1) Hong Kong in the background. 2) Went through the port of Hong Kong which was a maze of huge boats ready to ship some dolla bills.

A thing with tea pots, they say you’re not supposed to wash it completely in order to save some of the oils for better tasting tea. Many dedicated tea drinkers have a different tea pot for the different teas they drink.

1)Factory workers tea cups. 2) Old jar as a tea cup. That brown stuff… tea resin.
