When I think of 3-D printing a transportation object, I think about printing a skateboard or bike. I would have never thought printing an actual car would even be possible! Earlier this month, Arizona based Local Motors showcased their first 3-D printed car at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago. It took about 45...

A decade ago, collaborations had a "new" feeling that you could almost say was refreshing. These days collaborations are all around, but some are so limited that people go crazy for them. I culled a few "it" collaborations that are coming out. If you are looking to get them, you better start waiting in line...

[caption id="attachment_11710" align="alignnone" width="790"] Partners in Crime (Taiwan, 2014)[/caption] I was pretty stoked to score a pair of tickets to see the new Takashi Miike flick at the AFI Fest.

I'm not a longtime cyclist or even a good one. My wife and I purchased bikes after my daughter learned how to ride one without training wheels this summer.  So our participation in Ciclavia two weekends ago was also our introduction. It's a cool concept, blocking off streets so that Los Angelenos (and anyone else) can...

It's not necessarily something I've always wanted, and to be quite honest I used to make fun of the people who had one. But this thing is FUN. It's an ideal tool for those moments you wish you had longer arms. The key is just don't take it seriously! Keep in mind you can use...

Last week, I went to Arcana Books in Culver City to attend a book signing by photographer Glen E. Friedman for his latest collection, My Rules. I'm a big fan of Friedman's work. He would be a badass if he were able to simply capture the energy, aesthetics, and personalities of the early Dogtown scene,...

Now that the iPhone 6 is out, there's a slew of amazing video content flooding in. Why? Because it can shoot at 240 frames per second, which is incredibly slow. This kind of footage could only have been seen in the movie theaters just a few years ago and now it's accessible to the masses...
