I know most of us GUYS would preffer arriving at her place in a slick BMW, in an Escalade or in a stylo-surfbus… But I am sure there are also those out there going for the Ecofriendly “longterm-relationship-style” that would really enjoy this: The Humancar.

The rowing motion of the Handlebars powers the wheels while the two pilots at front swivel with their weight in order to steer the ride. I am sure women trying keep their husbands in shape throughout the years would also benefit from this piece of technology.

Maybe someday we can bring some freshness to the Humancar drawing some nice curves around it’s still “skelleton” configuration.

This is my professor Dieter Mankau working on one of his patents. In this case his was building a bridge system between skis in order to help stabilize the ride and to allow better carving. He has built several modells for HEAD which sends every now and them new material for him to play with. Much of the knowledge that I am using for new skateboards comes from long conversations during my studies in the School of Design Hfg_Offenbach. I will try to show more stuff from him here in the future.

As far as I hate to admit. This a one example showing that engineers can also make beautiful products. Four students from the Hochschule für Technik in Rapperswil (Switzerland) made this awesome Carbon Frame as a part of their studies. Here in europe is fucking amazing how companies support the work done in Universities. If you look at the projects web site they hat 13 sponsors!!! I hope someday we will be like that in Brasil.

I stitched together a view of the skateramp built at the Bright. More photos from last weekend can be seen at the Lets-evo Group on Flickr.

I did this illustration after listening to a really good album from the producer and MC Iky Castilho from my home town Rio. Iky´x Tape Vol 1 is an awesome example of rio´s rap scene featuring DJ Babao and various MCs. The album is complete downloadable at the website.

So you bought an Ipod and is now kind of depressed because is filled with scratches. And you don´t fill like buying these dorky ipod socks for 20 dollars?

I´ve been there too brother and I found a way out of this dilemma. Just get yourself an old sock, wrap up your pod to protect it and go for the ” I don´t give a damn about fashion” look.

You can even make it Theft-proof if you grab a fresh smelly sock!

Cool and Functional Design
