TAG Heuer’s Mikrotimer Chronograph Measures To 1/1000th Of A Second
The TAG Heuer Mikrotimer from HODINKEE on Vimeo.
TAG Heuer’s new Mikrotimer measures up to 1/1000th of a second. To do this, the watch’s caliber—or its internal movements—run at 500 rotations per second, or 500Hz. In other words, and the Mikrotimer runs at 3.6 million beats per hour! You can see in the video below, when operating as a stopwatch the sweep hand is moving so fast you can barely see it in motion.

Watch Norwegian NSM cruise missile punch through a ship
“Unlike most anti-ship missiles, the NSM uses an IR detector instead of radar, ensuring that it won’t provide any detectable warning signals to its targets. GPS plus an in-flight data link let the missile make precise maneuvers and shift targets on the fly, and it also has “advanced terminal maneuvers,” which means that it pulls some funky moves just before impact to keep from getting shot down at close range”

Deformed puppy saved from trash
There’s nothing in the world I hate more than animal cruelty. This story made me upset and pissed off at the same time. I can’t believe the carelessness of people to be able to commit such a cruel deed. But before you think this is one of those depressing stories, another example of the good in people coming to the rescue. Read below –
A puppy suffering from ‘Swimmer Puppy Syndrome’ was rescued from a trash bag on August 31 which a dog breeder had intended to throw away. Swimmer Puppy Syndrome forces puppies to lie flat with their legs splayed outwards rigidly due to their condition. After some massaging of her stiff muscles and sessions of hydrotherapy, the puppy named Little Harper is on her way to recovery.

Kid Cudi talks Nike MAG on Conan O’Brien
KiD CuDi was invited to the latest taping of Conan O’Brien last night as part of the promotional run for his new Surface to Air leather jackets and the second season of How To Make It In America. Of course the real reason to watch this interview is because KC is rocking the new Nike Air Mags. You was lucky enough to pick up four pairs for himself and one pair for his girlfriend. All off eBay!!

Wiesmann Roadster MF5
Every body remains at a state of rest unless forced to change as a result of external forces. In order not to stand still, we inevitably have to move. And anyone entrusted with a Wiesmann MF5 in this moment can turn physics into sheer pleasure. After all, this roadster is a powerful combination of power and style, and every encounter with the MF5 Roadster or GT MF5 becomes an unforgettable experience.
“In the MF5, we have developed the most powerful model in a series of classic sports cars in terms of design and technology. The secure aluminium monocoque, the extremely low weight, the powerful engine and the exclusive details pave the way for pure driving pleasure, which is exactly what we had in mind”

Celine Decks
What do you do when something is so out of reach? When in doubt, make your own! I’ve been obsessed -like everyone else and their moms – with the most perfect and rather iconic fashion print of 2011 and wanted to do my own spin on it by incorporating it into something that was a bit more me. What better way to marry my love of fashion and skateboarding, than to throw the two components into this perfect plank of wood? I don’t know what could be more all-encompassing of what Stop It Right Now represents. Even Kuma wanted in on the action, so I had to spend the better part of the weekend making her her own little shirt. (I may not be able to make a human-sized shirt but you can bet your ass I can make the tiniest little replica ever.)
It felt like an eternity, but they’re finally here…
…STOP IT RIGHT NOW decks. Email me if you’d like one. Limited quantities so act fast.

How To Make It In New York
I found this very inspirational to watch. Especially living in Hong Kong I can see similarities to life in HK and NY.
The Black Book Article –
How to Make It in America, HBO’s hip, snappy dramedy, could easily be re-titledHow to Make It in New York. Given that its two lead characters, best friends Cam and Ben, are hustling to get their clothing label off the ground, the show couldn’t really be set anywhere else other than this fashion-happy, hard-scrabble town. To show off the series’ downtown New York-ness ahead of Season Two’s October 2 premiere, HBO has released a mini-documentary about three New Yorkers who actually did make it in America. Check it out after the jump.
The three success stories are DJ, budding record mogul, and BlackBook columnist A-Trak (who even pops by our office in the video); graffiti artist and photographer Curtis Kulig (who recently remixed one of our inaugural covers); and BlackBook Industry Insider Carlos Quirarte, who, along with partner Matt Kleigman, owns The Smile and Westway. Let these three fellas show us all how it’s done.
Thanks for the find Georgie Gee.

Sean Dunne: American Juggalo Docuementary (NSFW)
Director/filmmaker Sean Dunne goes into the sub-culture of the American Juggalo. Characterized by their love for Insane Clown Posse, face painting, and cravings for violence, Juggalos and Jugalettes from across America converge upon the woods of Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, once every year for four days at The Gathering of Juggalos. This was a big eye-opener for me into this culture and as easy as it is to judge or laugh at them. They’re a culture of their own and all share common lifestyles which I respect. These guys look like they do some aggressive partying.
