I know, I know– I should probably add a special category for all the mashups I post here. This ‘ReMixtape’ was just too damn good not to mention. Hip Hop meets acoustic guitar as Jose Gonzalaez’s album Veneer (which is amazing to begin with) gets reworked and blended with hip hop lyrics. Sometimes I Rhyme Slow is an updated take on fusing acoustic guitar samples with funk, soul, and breakbeats. One of my favorite tracks is Get ‘Em High meets Lovestain with Kanye West, Talib Kweli, and Common. What’s so unique about this mashup is the tracks aren’t meant to overshadow the original guitar– both elements really shine. Head over to the producers My Space page to check it out now!

Imagine a device that unites everything you carry on a day to day basis: mobile phone, media player, credit cards, even your apartment and car keys. Behold the C’ALL, a credit card sized device by Plus Minus that encompasses your electronic life into one, beautifully designed unit. The C'ALL operates as a mobile phone, allowing you to select the cellular service provider before placing a call; a remote control for any device, simultaneously displaying a teleschedule and recommendations of your favorite shows; and even replaces all of your keys, verifying access to areas like home and office with biometrics via a built in fingerprint scanner on back. These are just a few of the foreseeable uses of the future phone concept. With major electronics manufacturers currently combining media players, digital cameras, and other accessories into their phones, the C'ALL can't be that far off. All I know is I want one.

After receiving a pair of Freeline Skates a few months ago I was pretty much convinced they were impossible to master–like some wacky new invention I’d never quite understand. That is, until the videos started appearing around the web of what people were actually doing with them. Freeline Skaters across the country are pushing the boundaries of human propulsion and guts, among other things. Check out the latest video of what riders in San Diego are pulling off– this is truly the next level and my jaw had officially dropped–and I can hardly stand on mine yet. You have to watch this. You can order them now but there is a waitlist until the middle of April for delivery.
