Rotary Engine (Wankel) Inspired Luxury Watch

Back in 2008 Felix Baumgartner , co-founder of luxury watch manufacturer URWERK , and  Maximilian Büsser , creator of luxury watch brand MB&F , go for lunch and their topic of discuss creates a horological chain reaction. Their topic of discussion, was it possible and could they create a rotary engine (Wankel) inspired timepiece. As a result of their meeting, four years later we have a volatile new production company named  C3H5N3O9 (nitroglycerin) and it's flagship the ZR012 which is the first to use an epicyloid indications in a wristwatch.

Ad: Molson Canadian (Seed Coaster)

While there is nothing new about this campaign concept or implementation, it is Canadian, and I'm somewhat biased towards my home country. Most coasters protect tables, these ones protect the whole planet. For Molson Canadian’s Red Leaf Project, we created beer coasters infused with tree seeds. When planted, the coasters grow into black spruce trees. This year, the coasters will help create 1,000,000 new trees across Canada. Created by Rethink Canada Via - I Believe in Advertising

Pac-Man Shaped Paper Clips (Ghosts Too)

While I can't think of any practical reason for using these paper clips, they might just get a chuckle from your co-workers, and that just might be enough of a reason. Made by Paladone a box of 20 paper clips will set you back about $9.00(US). Available On Amazon Via - GeekAlerts

Nike GS

The Nike GS  is both green in colour, but also green by environmental standards. The sole plate of this football (soccer) boot is made with 50% Pebax Renu®, derived from 97% castor beans, which makes it one of the most renewable resource Nike has used. I was unable to find any local retailers or prices, so if you're interested you might have to try a Nike outlet, or specialty football (soccer) store.

Darkstalkers Returns

I was introduced to the Darstalker (aka Vampire) series of video games, when I built my first M.A.M.E. machine. After all these years I can honestly say, I still get a kick out of playing this game. Well this post isn't about how much I liked a particular game series, but to let the new generation of gamer's know that soon they will be able to get the latest version, Darstalkers Resurrection, ported to their Xbox360 or Playstation3 game consoles.  That's right, some time in the near future (if it isn't already available) Capcom will be making this game available for download.  It's too bad I gave away my Xbox360, this just might have been a game I could have enjoyed playing.
