充滿80年代兒時的回憶，當年小學放學後同細佬在家中偷看的電視卡通首選 G.I.Joe！
係呀！要偷睇㗎！以前家教懶係嚴嘛！大人唔係屋企，細路仔唔可以睇電視㗎！比父毋發現，受打受罸果個必定係我！
皮肉之苦事小，睇唔到事大！卡通內那句："GO! JOE!" 要一路睇一路跟住大叫！自己鍾意 G.I.Joe 多過 Transformers，人性化啲嘛！最搶鏡至形仔嘅角色梗係 Snake Eyes 啦！但最喜歡嘅係毒蛇黨喎，都不知幾希望佢哋嬴返次義勇群英！
仲有用盡辨法都偷睇唔到果套 "怪物小王子"！如果出返 DVD，我一定即刻買返嚟睇！！

Hublot Geneve Big Bang King Power Watch

Four years after launching the classic Big Bang, Hublot Geneve brings to us the Big Bang King Power (€17,600). The King Power pushes to the limit the qualities of its original design, and succeeds in combining both the expression of power and the feeling of luxury. The case has been shaped with sharp angles and straight sides, and features raised end pieces and screws. While the chronograph hands are completely new and made on two levels, with two different types of finish.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage

Aston Martin teased us with the V12 Vantage concept last year and now the company has released details about the production version that will make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.Under the hood is a massive 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS) and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque. The company predicts a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of just 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h). For comparison Aston's more mainstream V8 Vantage is powered by a 4.7-liter V8 which produces 420bhp and 470Nm of torque, enabling the car to run from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 180mph (288km/h).

33 East 63rd Street Townhouse

The multi-year renovation, including a new Landmark approved limestone façade, is finally complete. This 5-story, 20 foot wide townhouse with elevator was originally built in 1901 and is located on one of Manhattan’s most prestigious blocks, East 63rd Street between Madison and Park Avenues. While the beautiful exterior suggests a traditional home, the interior is most definitely sophisticated modern and everything within is brand new, from the floors, walls, kitchen, baths, mechanicals, to the elevator. The house features a stunning bamboo garden and a large terrace with a wall of glass that completely opens. The kitchen is designed for the serious chef yet is inviting and overlooks the garden. The master bedroom floor, sumptuous bath and extensive dressing area are beyond luxurious. In addition to the master there are 4 additional bedrooms with baths, 4 wood burning fireplaces, a study with double-height ceiling, a finished basement with guest suite, and every imaginable amenity.

ATOM Performance

ATOM is a performance by Monolake and Christopher Bauder for a matrix of 64 gas balloons, lights, and sound. You can see it tomorrow evening at Berghain in Berlin.

A room is filled with deep, evolving noises from a four-channel sound system. An eight-by-eight array of white, self-illuminated spheres floats in space like the atoms of a complex molecule.

Through variable positioning and illumination of each atom, a dynamic display sculpture comes into being, composed of physical objects, patterns of light, and synchronous rhythmic and textural sonic events. Change, sound, and movement converge into a larger form.

The height of the helium balloons is adjusted with a computer-controlled cable, whilst the internal illumination is accomplished using dimmable super-bright LEDs, creating a pixel in a warped 8×8 spatial matrix.

The sonic events, the patterns of light, and the movement of the balloons are manipulated in real time as a 45-60 minute-long performance.
