Leica Gold MP – People’s Republic of China 60th Anniversary Edition

by Jay Garrett on January 25, 2010

Leica isn’t renowned for its flashy eye-catching colours.

Quality cameras, yes – garish colour schemes, no.

That seems to have all changed in honour of the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.

Just check out the 24 carat gold-plated snapper that’s limited to a run of 60.

Each of these golden wonders will be hallmarked with a year between 1949 and 2009, the Golden Camera is encased in red calfskin, bears an inscription of Mao Zedong’s favorite slogan, and sports a Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens.

You also get a nice wooden box to hide it under your bed in.

It’ll be sold exclusively in mainland China at an eye-watering cost of 199,900 Chinese Yuan (£18,099.94) a piece.

For the less flamboyant, Leica is also releasing limited editions of the M8.2 and D-Lux 4 models without the gold and other silliness.

Twitterific Ollie Now Available – Twitter Tweety Bird Mascot

by Jay Garrett on January 14, 2010

Iconfactory, the people behind Twitterific, has now made two types of Ollie, the cute blue bird, available to own.

So you can tweet with Ollie sat with you.

Iconfactory obviously thinks that this will be a winner:

“We’re pleased to announce that our vinyl collectible figure of Ollie, the Twitterrific mascot, is now shipping worldwide”

The online store says:

“Ollie is an adorable little bluebird that loves to chat about what’s going on”

You can get the limited edition Ollie as a vinyl figure (with a “soft yet sturdy” feel) and as a flocked vinyl figure (with a “soft velvet” feel).

Both Ollies measure around 10cm, or 4 inches tall.

Prices are $19.95 for the vinyl and $26.95 for the velvety version. Click here to see the store :)

R2-D2 must be the galaxy’s most loved and most recognised droid.
As well as being adorable as a companion he’s also proved himself handy to have around – whether as a mechanic or patching into computer interfaces he’s helped many a human, as well as fellow droids, out of rather sticky situations.
This R2 statue is probably [...]

The body looks like a precious gem that will certainly [...]

It’s all very well having a cool Swiss watch (I prefer vintage Rados if you’re ever looking for a gift to add to my collection of around 15 ) but sometimes you need someone with vision to tell you if it’s wise to make a huge business decision or make a large investment.
I’m not [...]

Poor old Amazon Kindle 2 .
Where it looked to be doing pretty well it just can’t beat the fact that the Sony Reader has just buddied up with none-other than Bond; James Bond.

In my mind, if I was to get a BlueTooth headset I’d go for a Jawbone. They work fantastically and they look pretty swish. Or so I thought.
Now, Yves Behar has somehow managed to make it even more lustworthy with the creation of the ‘Love To Talk’ family.
This threesome, which will reportedly be [...]
