e-ink
A new technology that is being rolled out is going to make packaging for media, video games, and even magazines much more interesting for the consumer. A new form of product display called "E-Ink" is an inexpensive way to create a moving advertisement right on the proudct! Right now it only can do different shades of gray, but don't expect it to be long before full blown color is out and we'll see magazines and DVD cases that are animated and a lot more eye catching! Below is an example of this technology in a product demo. It will be in stores and newsstands soon, as it doesn't cost much more than a printed page.

Aston Martin One-77
Aston Martin has released the first image of its newest flagship – the limited edition One-77. Details are scarce, but the One-77 will be powered by a hand-built 7.0-liter V12 nestled inside an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis. 0-60 times are estimated at 3.5-seconds, with a top speed cresting 200 mph.77 examples of the £1 million coupe will be produced and customers will be able to customize the bespoke supercar to meet their individual tastes. The One-77 will be revealed later this year (Paris?) and will go on sale shortly afterwards.
This will be the first all-new vehicle from Aston Martin produced after the brand was sold by Ford to a group of investors spearheaded by Prodrive's David Richards. We're also curious to know if the One-77 will play a part in Project Alligator, the rumored collaboration between Aston and Mercedes-Benz. All details will be revealed in due time. Until then let your eyes feast on the only image we have of the upcoming One-77 supercar.

Geekhouse Bikes: Powder Coating Graphics
Not too long ago one would already set oneself apart by riding a fixed gear bike. These days even traditional media picked up the worldwide trend and with that, one has to find new ways to set apart ones bike. Geekhouse introduces their new powder coating graphic option. "They've mastered a process that can basically take any digital image and sublimate it into a powder coated finish. This "Rockcity" frame was made for a customer who wanted a bandanna-like orange paisley design—not our first choice of graphics but dope nonetheless. It also features a matching front Deep-V rim that was also given the same patterned treatment." Via Animal.
Definitely a good idea and something many people will be making use of. The only problem with such an option is, just like with something like Nike iD, people with bad taste also get to use it. But overall definitely a nice move.

BAPE Leather Folding Trays
Here comes a great new product from Bape - the folding trays. A product that is useful, but usually only produced by very high end brands, such as Hermes, Bottega Veneta or Asprey. The happier we are that Bape made them now in several sizes. Good quality leather with a simple Bape head logo in the middle, the Bape folding trays are perfect for at home to put your keys, jewelry or watches, or for on the road to keep your hotel room organized.
