=?UNKNOWN?Q?SONY=92S?= PLAYSTATION 3

I realised the new PS3's external design is pretty damn cool after purchasing one during holidays. The new design breaks away from the previous square, cubic, completely matte black PS2 and PS1. It incorporates curves, more streamlined + simple aesthetics and glossy black and metallic silver finishes. Hard to keep fingerprints off! The finish is amazing and the work is in the details. The small playstation logo can be rotated depending on which way the PS3 is standing and on/off, play, eject buttons are touch sensitive over a glossy black window surface.

Oh and the game play is seriously cool too!

Hauptbahnhof (Main Train Station) - Berlin

This picture shows Berlin's main train station. I visited this station last year when traveling from Poland to Germany. It is a multi level station that services local, national and international trains. The large curving glass roof of the station follows the curve in the tracks.

It is one of the coolest buildings i have ever seen.

Nike AF1 HighTop Sneakers

Firstly, i love these kicks! They are the most comfortable street
shoes you can get that are also super-cool. They are perfect for
walking home from the pub in the snow because the leather protects
your feet from getting cold and the high ankle protection stops snow
from getting in. The design is the best part; chunky, wide and bright!
I really like the air holes distributed over the front and the strap
around the ankle. The colours of blue and yellow are great because
they are complementary and work in each others favour. Even the
pattern on the sole leaves a distinctive footprint. Ultimately; I want
these Nike's.

"The key to affecting the development of tomorrow's mobility lies in our readiness to challenge what is established and in the ability to present new options" – BMW Press release June 2008

The GINA principle (Geometry and Functions In "N" Adaptations) is a new approach towards vehicle surface development. I think this concept is amazing because through this revolutionary concept the vehicle gains the ability to express the feeling of the driver (or in other words the drive mode of the car) by changing its physical appearance. In order to create an organic sense, the head lights blink with movements similar to human eye lids.

Japanese watch

I'd actually wear this despite being a little too feminine for it.
Innovative, sleek and simple.

Image is pretty self explanatory.
