yachtcarrierNow, if like me, you love the idea of mooring a yacht up in Monte Carlo, Cannes or St Tropez but can’t actually sail – or get horribly sea-sick then, thankfully, there’s an answer for when you want to change continents.

To painlessly get your lovely boat from France to Florida all you have to do is  put it on another boat.

The Yacht Express is a semi-submersible float-on/float-off yacht carrier, that can carry 18 yachts at a time and is now on its first trans-Atlantic voyage.

At 209 meters long, it’s the largest yacht transport in the world as well as being the only one that’s actually purpose built for the job.

Phwew – my dreams have been saved.

I just need that few million quid now!

Art.Suono Is Where Fine Art Meets iPod Dock

by Jay Garrett on March 10, 2009

artsuonodock-and-ampYou fancy a new iPod dock.  You fancy a fancy new iPod dock.

You’ve probably already checked out the one designed by a French synth player, or perhaps one designed by a Stuttgart motor maker and various valve powered models.

If you’ve got $1500.00 to spend at the David Weiner Collection this Art.Suono Wireless Music System could be yours.

This is an iPod dock done up to become a fine art piece.

Righty.

What do you get for the cash?

In addition to the extraordinary DWC-Wireless transmission and DWC-APHEX® sonic enhancement technologies, Art.Suono features universal inputs and iPod® docking for any iPod® or iPhone, an “Engine Start” power button, a “Shift” input signal switch, an input signal jack, LED indicators, and a convenient volume control designed to allow quick, yet precise volume changes and muting for those times when you need to talk on the phone. Installation is simple and quick, without the need for any tools or computer skills. All accessories and wiring are included with each Art.Suono system.

I know – you can’t wait to cash up and run away with your Art.Suono.

Just remember that $1500 tag!

For some artPod eye candy go here for a collage.

Motorola Aura – Another Word’s First

October 21, 2008 Click to read more →

At first glance I thought I was having flash-backs to when I owned a V80 then thought – surly that’s a V70!
But then I read the press blurb about the Aura and looked more closely.
Over 700 individual components, a stainless steel housing, a front plate that takes a fortnight to create.
HUH?
Motorola is hoping you give [...]

For some reason various Joy Division songs came to mind when I saw this.
Another one for the up-coming Halloween season or for all-year round if you’re one of my Goth buddies.
In a kinda noose-meets-electric-chair stylee Designer, Marie Thurnauer, will be laughing all the way to the bank as the 135-centimeter-long light fixture costs a crazy [...]
