George Lucas Frozen In Carbonite

I guess George got captured by Boba Fett and got dropped into Darth Vader's carbonite chamber.

Darth Vader used Han Solo to test his carbonite chamber. Vader wanted to freeze Luke Skywalker with it too.

Jaeger LeCoultre's Atmos 561 by Marc Newson

Watchismo brings us information on designer Marc Newson's latest. "Suspended in a bubble block of Baccarat crystal and powered by temperature change, Jaeger LeCoultre's Atmos 561 mechanical clock is the work of Australian super-designer Marc Newson (known for designing the Ikepod watch and a million other sleek objects). Newson is reportedly a huge fan of the Atmos and approached the company to collaborate. The result is this eightieth anniversary Atmos."

Chicago's Own: Chaz Ortiz

Zoo’s pint-sized shred from Chicago, Chaz Ortiz, has been absolutely killing it lately! Chaz is currently on the Zoo York flow team, but with the way he’s been handling business lately, he’ll likely climb to amateur status sooner than later. At only thirteen years old, Chaz has been blowin’ up the contest circuit and making the hearts of teenage girls flutter from coast-to-coast. Over the past few months, Chaz further stacked his resume by winning the 2007 Mountain Dew Free Flow Tour and placing 2nd in Volcom’s Damn Am contest which brought out all the rippers. He also crushed it at the final stop of the 2007 AST Dew Tour broadcast on NBC in October. He skated super smooth and consistent, with style well beyond his years, and ended up placing 6th behind Ryan Sheckler, Greg Lutzka, and other big name pros. Chaz is a super cool kid with a very bright future, and Zoo’s stoked to have him in the family.

He just got 2nd place in 2008 Mountain Dew AST Pro Competition.... It's pretty amazing because he's not even a Pro.... And he's only 14 years old now.
