That iconic black plastic casing and strap found its way onto my wrist in about third grade as my very first watch. Actually, now that I think about it, I've pretty much had a watch on my wrist every day since.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Casio's G-Shock line, invented by Kikuo Ibe in 1983, was originally crafted as a watch designed simply to withstand a fall due to the forces of gravity. Unfortunately over time, it's become more of an ultra aggressive line of bro-y, tactical-style watches that I have no interest in whatsoever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was recently able to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BbXpx5xjJk6/" target="_blank">snag a re-release</a> of the original Casio G-Shock designed by Ibe himself. Its retro vibe and iconic status scratched me right where I itched. I also recently stumbled onto this <a href="https://www.ablogtowatch.com/g-shock-inventor-kikuo-ibe-g-shock-history-japanese-culture-space-travel/" target="_blank">great little video</a> by A Blog to Watch, interviewing the man behind this icon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I instantly noticed that he also still wears his original design... but in white. I love this timeless, yet postmodern reinterpretation of what he imagined decades ago. With a little more digging, I came across this <a href="https://hypebeast.com/2017/3/essentials-g-shock-kikuo-ibe-founder" target="_blank">great article</a> by Hypebeast analyzing Ibe's everyday carry, or ECD. Sure enough, there's his white G-Shock, pretty much front and center.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love the wisdom and optimism of this little short film. In fact, I think a white version of his original design in some ways is sort of a physical embodiment of his optimistic outlook... almost the complete opposite vibe of the more recent militaristic models. Let's just hope some space marine sporting a tact-ed out version of a G-Shock doesn't take out his little alien friend first.</span>kyalityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13802490036441961796noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34721760.post-23235308294738711172017-12-30T18:44:00.000-07:002018-02-12T20:51:37.774-07:002017: A Year in Review<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After 10+ consecutive year in review posts of my top 3 faves in topics like music, movies, TV, cars, and more...

These are in no particular order, but there are 9 in total (so yeah, optimized nicely for the Insta).</span><br />

The guy featured in this little vid unequivocally get's it. I personally don't know how anyone can look at a car like this and not see what all us wagon guys see. So sit back, relax, and take in the power that is... The Hammer. Maybe you'll become a wagon guy (or gal) too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In July of 2012, I was Portland, OR with a ticket in hand to see The Dark Knight Rises. The night before, we decided to see Ridley Scott’s latest sci-fi epic as a primer. Though I already knew that Prometheus was a pseudo-Alien prequel, what I didn’t know is that it that would fill my head with enough ideas to pretty much completely ruin my Batman experience and give me enough questions to think about for the next 18 months or so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">About 30 seconds into Alien: Covenant I realized it was in fact a direct follow up to Prometheus—not the indirect sequel we were initially led to believe. And I was stoked. Finally, answers would arise! Well, some questions were answered, others weren’t. But what was clear was—man, this movie looks awesome: the cast, cinematography, locations, sets, and yes… the gear.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Scott and his costume designer Janty Yates enlisted the help of fashion designer Craig Green to create a completely original, but familiar and functional look for the away team’s uniforms. I was completely struck by the textures and tones, the buckles and the brims. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can see from Green’s previous work that he has a knack for riffing on classic fatigues, giving them a futuristic and almost otherworldly vibe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From <a href="https://youtu.be/hcBMnlPte9Y" target="_blank">this interview</a> with Yates, we learn that Scott instructed to his design team not to revisit what we’ve seen in the previous Alien films and do so with an eye for simplicity. Ironically, it was these fashionable threads’ lack of a space helmet that led to the team’s troubles. At least they looked good in the process.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was flipping through my trusty <a href="http://flipboard.com/" target="_blank">Flipboard</a> today and I stumbled onto what is easily the coolest BMW I have ever seen. The 1993 E34 BMW 530ix Endure prototype is the perfect combination of Bavarian Burner and Weekend Warrior. This is the automotive equivalent of a retro rolltop backpack.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I just got back from a 10-day trip with my pa through western Germany, a day trip to Amsterdam and several days in Switzerland rolling around the Zürich area. Amazing, right? TOTALLY mooched off his biz trip. While I was there, I snapped a bunch of pics. But I also took about a hundred short 5-10 second videos.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you know me, you probably know I'm a massive Life Aquatic fan—a film that's openly inspired by the life of Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Well this new biopic, entitled L’odyssée, looks like a total winner to me as well. Can't wait to see its stunning widescreen format on the big screen.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I heard that Flipboard's founder/CEO, Mike McCue, would be speaking at this year's Cannes Lions festival... I knew we'd have to come up with something special to help spread the word. Luckily, the amazing <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beccaclason/" target="_blank">Becca Clason</a> was available... well, sorta.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Becca was just about to go on a break to have her first kid but she was able to just barely sneak us in. Mike's session is on the future of curatio</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">n and he's being joined onstage by a curator from The Whitney. We decided that a combination of both gadgets and art supplies would fit the bill. I was completely blown away by Becca's own curation skills as she carefully selected each and every item.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The whole piece was handcrafted and photographed to capture our hero shot.

kyalityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13802490036441961796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34721760.post-15621945965151992942016-04-23T13:14:00.002-06:002016-09-09T11:21:32.977-06:00The Ultimate Batfleck Batflick <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s official. Sounds like Ben Affleck will be writing, directing, and starring in his own standalone Batman movie. If you’re like me (and most people I’ve spoken to) <i>Batman V Superman</i> was barely tolerable. But the parts I tolerated the most were all about the Batfleck. I'm really into his version of this old, grizzled, fraying-on-both-ends Batman. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkN3tlUsFX8LI4YceG_lkd2g6FF4DukoP7kPeRsOtGrfcKMSFpX8qzg_T7sYs8xaf87noIaCvk8otJ7pMDSA-J5Rn9dwMdbdt4Qjt5qksoco6G3v9e1GLPMHlmvqa7rb2M0VOx/s1600/batfleck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkN3tlUsFX8LI4YceG_lkd2g6FF4DukoP7kPeRsOtGrfcKMSFpX8qzg_T7sYs8xaf87noIaCvk8otJ7pMDSA-J5Rn9dwMdbdt4Qjt5qksoco6G3v9e1GLPMHlmvqa7rb2M0VOx/s640/batfleck.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I dug his Brucefleck, the Batmobile, the Batcave, the Batwing, his Batbulter, and especially his Batfighting style. In fact I’ll go as far to say—this is my all-time favorite live action version of Batman. Yes, better than Bale for sure, and even better than Keaton. Bold, I know. But that’s sincerely how I feel. And with thrillers like <i>The Town</i> and <i>Gone Baby Gone</i> sitting soundly in his filmography—I am convinced that standalone Batflick by Batfleck can and will be awesome. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So what could it be like? Well, here’s my wishlist, prediction, my stab at what a </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Batfleck</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Batflick could and should be:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>A Small Movie</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First things first… this is what I’m gonna call a “small” Batman movie. This is not about saving the world. It’s not even about saving the city he loves, though that is where it all takes place. It’s all about saving someone (not Rachel!). And it all happens in a single night in the streets and on the rooftops of Gotham. And for the record, I really preferred good old Chicago doubling for Gotham from <i>The Dark Knight</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">A Different Villain</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next, this is not about The Joker in any way, shape, or form. We’ll let <i>Suicide Squad</i> and its inevitable sequel(s) handle <i>that</i> particular storyline. Oh yeah, there is also zero origin stories being told, for Batman or the villain. This film is a Hitchcockian mystery thriller showcasing Batman’s first entanglement with... The Riddler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this movie The Ridder is a brilliant, but unhinged master thief who’s just arrived to pillage and plunder the richest of the rich, but knows he must first trick, catch, and eradicate the Bat if wants to have his way with Gotham’s elite. He also attempts to manipulate Batman into eliminating the competition in the process... calling back to an almost <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Hush" target="_blank">Hush</a></i>-like vibe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So again, in a single night we see Bruce Wayne uncover and decode a riddle-based clue, which leads him to another and another—in a sadistic scavenger hunt all throughout Gotham. Bruce quickly surmises that whoever’s leaving these cruel clues already knows he’s Batman. So he quickly dons the cape and cowl and uses the Batmobile as his base of operations for the night, as he speeds from clue to clue in a race against the clock.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Much More Batmobile</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let me take a quick second here and talk about the Batmobile. So I didn’t not like the Batmobile in BvS. It worked for that movie. But I’m a HUGE fan of the Batmobile from <i>Batman ’89</i>. And I thought Nolan was for sure setting us up for the next Batmobile to be Lamborghini-based once it was featured so prominently after the destruction of the Tumbler in <i>The Dark Knight</i>. If you check out <a href="http://www.batmobilehistory.com/" target="_blank">The History of the Batmobile</a> fansite, you’ll see that there’s been hundreds of different Batmobile configurations over the years and the vast majority of them have been based on sports cars, including <a href="http://www.batmobilehistory.com/2008bato-batmobile.php" target="_blank">Lambos</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For this new Batflick—Batman, will definitely need a sports car-based Batmobile, as he’ll use its amazing handling while cruising around Gotham at top speeds and avoiding any collateral damage. In fact, the Batmobile itself will actually <i>feel</i> like a central character in the story. The movie will be full of mind-blowing chase sequences as Batman chases the villain and in turn gets chased by cops. We’ll see lots of gadgets and gear—tons of hand to hand combat, and zero gun usage by the Bat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The World’s Greatest Detective</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of Batman’s primary titles is “The World’s Greatest Detective” and filmmakers constantly seem to forget this. I see very cool, very classic Batman movie here. It’s a small standalone thriller, all happening within a few hours on night. It’s got stakes. It’s action packed, but it’s also got a suspenseful twist. It’s highly focused on a single foe, who’s complex, charismatic, twisted, and ingenious—brilliantly portrayed by none other than... Casey Affleck. And it’s simply called: <i>Riddle Me This</i>.</span>kyalityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13802490036441961796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34721760.post-23714174044654770482016-04-16T11:41:00.002-06:002016-04-16T11:41:46.142-06:00Happy Campers x North Trip<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="273" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/149661441?color=fcf672&title=0&portrait=0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="654"></iframe><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few months before starting at <a href="https://about.flipboard.com/" target="_blank">Flipboard</a>, I stumbled onto what soon became one of my very favorite user-curated magazines called <a href="https://flipboard.com/@__thibault/happy-campers-05tnc9pky" target="_blank">Happy Campers</a>. It's an awesome collection of VW camper van stories and adventure mobile articles that really just nail it for me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During my short time here at Flipboard, I've had the chance to help on several amazing projects. And today, we're launching one of my faves! One of the beauties of Flipboard is that it can be many things to many people. I love this multifaceted functionality and this is a peek into how Flipboard manifests itself for power-user Adam Reineck, a San Francisco-based industrial design director.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adam leads a team of designers dedicated to crafting solutions to humanitarian needs around the world. He uses Flipboard to power his team’s imagination, creativity, and global perspective. But Adam is more than just a designer. He’s a cycling enthusiast, a passionate foodie, and loves to travel. And outside of using Flipboard to strengthen his design skills—he also leverages it to fuel all of his interests. </span><br />
