T-POST WEARABLE MAGAZINE

This may be the coolest thing that I have come across so far, T-post is a magazine that you can wear.




The process goes something like this: The company picks a piece of offbeat news that they would like to distribute off to you people around the world. After picking the article, they send it to one of their amazing visual artists to interpret artistically. The artist's interpretation is then printed on the front of the t-shirt with the actual article inside and a new piece of t-shirt news is delivered to your doorstep every 6 weeks. The use of design stimulates thinking and conversation for a better understanding of those things happening around us. For a better explanation, view the video below:

Not only are these tees visually amazing but they also represent a really amazing fresh new way of receiving news. To receive a t-shirt, you HAVE to subscribe. By only giving t-shirts to registered subscribers, the company assures that nothing will be wasted or overproduced. GENIUS! To see what it is all about or to get your subscription, click HERE.

HUMAN WALKING ROBOT - THE END IS NEAR



I would be lying if I told you that this didn't actually send chills down my spine when I first saw it. What this video shows is the "Petman" that was developed by Boston Dynamics. The currently headless robot walks heel to toe like humans do and also already has the capability to recover from a push. The finished product is set to be released in 2011 and is meant to act a testing device for military suiting. Although very cool, the thought of a fully functioning robot is still something very frightening and begs the question, what next?

BAND OF OUTSIDERS DUFFEL COAT



While duffel coats seem to have become the norm for outerwear this season, this one by band of outsiders is a great example of how a few changes can really add to something that has become so oversaturated on the market. The use of 2 toggle buttons as opposed to the normal three in addition to the detachable oversized hood make this a really unique cool jacket for the winter. The fact that it is cropped a bit shorter also makes it stand out a bit from the crowd. Available at thecorner.
