Hard Graft, an independent creative company from Austria whose approach to design is as simple and sophisticated as their products has released a Kindle edition case that has caught my eye after recently becoming an owner of the device. It’s made of 100% pure wool felt and it just looks gorgeous. On top, it also has a perfectly placed leather pocket which can hold anything from business cards, quick paper notes and even your iPhone.
Their products in general are somewhat pricey but it’s more than justified by the impeccable old-world craftsmanship that is clearly visible and I’m sure it feels as good as it looks.
I currently use the traditional black leather case sold from Amazon to carry around my Kindle 2 but I’m always paranoid of it opening somehow when I toss it in my backpack so I’m strongly considering purchasing this dapper pouch. It won’t replace my current case but it’ll serve as an additional protection and an accessory I can proudly show off.
I high suggest you browse through the rest of their product line. They have cases for everything a tech junkie could possible want. I’m talking Macbooks, iPhones and even Moleskines.
Olivia Munn: Only a handful of celebrities have ever been offered the honor of gracing the cover of Playboy without having to get naked. G4’s Olivia Munn is one to join that exclusive list in the July/August issue which already hit stands on June 19th. She’s funny, she’s well informed about everything technology and the fact that she’s attractive only enhances her popularity. She’s also confirmed via Twitter that she will be involved in the upcoming Iron Man 2 film. Look out!
Having that photographic eye is key but equally so is the self-promotion aspect, the marketing and every little nuance that will assist you in building your business. It should undoubtedly be a healthy balance of knowing what you’re doing with the equipment and maintaining the back end so as to keep a good client base, credibility and saneness.
Miami Beach: Whether you’ve ever been to Miami or not, Carlos Ramos or more popularly known as Miami Fever has become an authority of documenting the full of energy and lavish aspects of the city through his photography. From luxury cars, food, architecture, night life and attractive women, I’ve been following his countless photos on Flickr that seemingly represent the city’s very drive and have been able to gain a sense of what the Miami atmosphere is like without physically being there in the moment.
A testimonial on his Flickr page best describes what to expect from literally hours of sifting through his incredible cinematic style of photographing:
“Sexy girls, fast cars, the tropical night, swimming pools, the spot lit, bikini clad, luscious thing in high heels at f/1.8.”
His natural ability to cleverly shape Miami through his lens and for us to see it through his eyes is incredible. I highly recommend you give his stream a view.
