habitat.flap.clock.jpgThe Flap clock from the designers of British company Habitat harks back to train station timekeepers with it’s flap date calendar with auto function and swiss-style analog clock.

Your office’s stark white walls will never look better and telling time will never be smoother.

What this means to you: You’ve finally got an office at work. Say pass on cheesy convention tchotchke clocks and get yourself something worthy of the title on your door.

Mix a sportbike and a cruiser and what do you get? The 2009 Yamaha VMAX ($18,000), that's what. This mean machine looks like the cross between a Harley and a crotch rocket, with the performance to match. It features an all-new 65-degree 1679cc V4 engine, a lightweight aluminum chassis, a 5-speed transmission with a slipper clutch, wave-style brake discs with ABS and Brembo master cylinders, and complete suspension adjustability in both the front and rear. [Thanks, Craig]

Watches - Diesel Watch

This digital style combines both retro and futuristic styling. The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diod) module uses the same display as cell phones, making this style a modern update to the old LED watches of the 70s. The time and date appears as if from nowhere from behind the mirrored crystal with mirror finish. The genuine black leather bracelet accents the solid stainless steel case. The case measures approx. 35mm (W) x 42mm (L) x 14mm (H). This watch is water resistant to 5 ATM and has a 2-year international warranty.

2009 Cadillac CTS-V Specs Made Official, Gets 556 HP

We knew the new super-spec 2009 Cadillac CTS-V would be getting some impressive output numbers, and today the official figures are out — 556 HP at 6,100 RPM and 551 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 RPM. With those bitchin' numbers, the CTS-V will be doing 0-60 MPH in a lightning fast 3.9 seconds, with a standing quarter mile coming in at 12 seconds flat. Sure, but how fast will she go? What about 175 MPH with the six-speed auto and 191 MPH with the manual transmission? Okay, we're a little light-headed at the moment; obviously the CTS-V is warping the space around our brains.

iPhone 3G

Time to upgrade. Apple overlord Steve Jobs just introduced the all-new iPhone 3G ($199-$299). Besides the faster 3G wireless connection speeds and all of the previous revolutionary iPhone features, the new model also gets built-in GPS, better battery life (10 hours of talk time on 2G networks and 5 hours using 3G), a flush headphone jack, and iPhone 2.0 software with support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, the new MobileMe web suite, and a bunch of new downloadable applications from the iTunes App Store. The iPhone 3G also sports a new (and slightly thinner) glossy case in standard Apple black or white. Both 8GB (black) and 16GB (black or white) capacities remain. The iPhone 3G will go on sale July 11th in over 20 countries.

samsonite black label briefcase

If you foresee yourself doing a high priced hand-off of diamonds, weapons secrets or drug money at some point in your life, you need to do it in style.  What’s the point of dealing with shady foreign governments if you don’t look good doing it?  James Bond made that a rule for his work, so should you.  The Samsonite Black Label Attache’ is a rugged, bold black beauty with a fine leather strap and a spacious interior.  You can fit the diamonds, payoff money, spy data hard drives and more in this lovely Signet Male Attache.   [via unplggd]

Barefoot Running Shoes

Vibram's line of FiveFingers shoes (shouldn't that be FiveToes shoes?) are, um, unique. As an owner of Nike Air Rifts (that just have the big toe separated), I find these oddly appealing, yet disgustingly disgusting looking. I just hope none of my winter gloves catch sight of these things, because they'll fight them for being copycats. They sell for between $70-$100 and are allegedly great for all sorts of make believe sports like ChiRunning, Pose Method Running, and Bouldering. And, if they're anything like my barefoot style running shoes, they're even greater at smelling like ass.

Movie Screen Hides In Your Bookshelf

Italian designer Matteo Ragni has developed the Fly Shelf with Integrated Projection Screen. It's a screen for your projector that hides in a bookshelf. The size shown is about 67" wide, so you're not going to get any super big-screen action, but the idea is great. A 10 foot bookshelf might look weird though. Of course, anything would probably look better than my current hidden projection screen. Which is a Dukes of Hazzard bedsheet I keep under the couch. That the cats pee on.

Abacus Watch Tells Time With A Ball

The 600 Abacus watch was designed by Roy Schafer and is made by the Erich Lacher Watch Factory in Germany. "The ball moves to and fro across the face of the watch with the flow of the wearer's arm movements, but as soon as the Abacus reaches a horizontal position, the ball moves as if by magic - or at least by magnetism - to the right point in time." This sucker will set you back $152.91 if you're interested. I really like the concept, but it needs a roulette wheel background. I was thinking just the other day that my watch was missing something, and now I know. Balls. I mean watches and balls were practically invented for each other.
