Shift Knobs by Tommy Powell

Tom Powell is a California based Kustom Shift Knob creator. At first glance, I thought it was sculpted with clay and transferred into aluminum casts by a foundry but as I looked through his site, GeraHedz Shiftknobs, I realized that he freaking carves those out of a chunk of aluminum... He has way more patience than I do...

Trotify

Reminded me of a Monty Python movie. I wonder how much of speed it can withstand. Love to see it on steroid up Lance Armstrong's bike

A quote from Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein:
"I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our
humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots."


Having a Coffee...


 

Get together in a restaurant...


 

Enjoying the beauty in a Museum... 

 

Pleasantly Chatting in a cafe' ... 



Enjoying a day at the Beach... 



At the Stadium supporting the team... 

   

Having fun with the girlfriend...


 
Appreciating the Town in a convertible .. 



I have a pre-paid dumb phone. All it does is make and receive phone calls and text messages. 

Doohan -Black Spot MC safety ad

One of my heroes, Mick Doohan has been a spokes person for MC safety in Australia. I personally like the other one

Their poster is pretty good as well
