Ian Fleming famously wrote one of his Bond novels on a gold typewriter in a hut in Jamaica, fueled by an abundant supply of martinis and cigarettes (much like Auden).
In a scene in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, Bond is offered more of what Col. Smithers (player by Richard Vernon, see links below) describes as "rather disappointing brandy." M asks what's wrong with it, and Bond replies, "I'd say it's a 30-year-old Fine, indifferently blended ... with an overdose of bon bois".
Col. Smithers then gives Bond a gold bar worth 5,000 pounds to deliver to Goldfinger, which Bond then uses as collateral to win a golf match.
As much as I would like to go back to say 1964, and become a Luddite, technology cannot be ignored.
Which brings elements of this Everyman 007 kit from an imaginary Q-branch, for the film essayist, architect, poet:
1. a silver hip flask with leather embossed Union Jack containing a day's supply of french brandy
2. a gold bar 8gb USB containing atelier ying's 245 design drawings
3. a Cohiba tubos containing a set of wooden golf tees, or a fountain pen and rolled paper.
Note: my design no. 139 for Richard Vernon can be seen in the following link:

I was too lazy not to iron my shirts and clothes for quite a long time. But since I bought a Muslim backdrop for studio shot, I need this USD 26 from Amazon portable handheld steamer to eliminate the winkles and it did well !
As Listed Buildings go, this one is pretty unusual, as it was only ever in situ for a short length of time.
This structure at Farnborough was built in 1912 and designed to house airships, and could be moved as required. When in use, it would have been covered with some form of canvas.
However, by the end of 1913, this project was abandoned and the framework was recycled, with the lower portion being used in Building Q65 nearby (by 1917) and the upper part incorporated in Building R51 in 1914, also nearby.
Following the closure of the RAE Factory site in 1998, those components were saved and in 2004 re-assembled to show how they once were all those years ago, and now form a centrepiece in the modern business park immediately north of the airfield.

My old Game Gear still had some life left in it tonight. So I popped in a new game I hadn't played before, Portable Ninja. The goal of this game is to destroy as many time pieces (called 'minutes', you can even destroy 'hours' if you're good enough) as possible while traveling through a dark tunnel reaching out for a posing voice in the dark. It sounds pretty lame, but the reward for beating it is pretty cool.
I've heard there are tons of alternate endings in this game. Guess I'll have to play through again to see what different outcomes there are. I have other new games to try also, and I don't even feel that I played as well as I could've tonight.
Me on the hold, the circle and the settings.

Seen in Brookfield Place atrium, downtown Toronto. Low overhead as this "road warrior" negotiates a deal over the phone from his "office."
Since Trainboy wasn't in a big hurry to head back to the office thanks to more "field work" in Rock Island, he was nice enough to position his truck to shoot over the fence at the former Rock Island depot in Rock Island. It was over 6 years ago that my then new wife and I along with family and friends had a hell of a party inside the station. Back then the 513 was the big deal and my foamer friends happily yelled that it was rolling by during the reception!
516 does the honors on the "East Train" passing Abbey Station - er the Rock Island station.

This is designed to be more handy and compatible in scale for playing with existing classic space sets.
Saw these when we stopped at the gas station yesterday. I was debating on using it for my 366 yesterday. I hope you know that I appreciate your comments and visits. I may not get back to you quickly but I will try my best.
We just happened on what turned out to be the Red Bull Knock Out 2015 race: 1500 motorcrossers on the beach in Scheveningen
Tuned into 40 meters SSB.
It was too chilly outside on the deck, so I set up inside. Operating on battery power at 50 watts.

This is how they did it back in the good ol' days when a generator had to be moved from one spot to another. Since it is on a sled - I am assuming that it was last used during the winter months. I found this gem up in the 40 mile country in Alaska. I thought that some of my Flickr friends might get a kick out of it's size. These days a 2000 watt generator is easily lifted and transported anywhere. Many people use them for camping out, or for emergency situations. It sure beats hooking up the horses, then hooking up to a sled, in order to haul power out to a remote site - like they had to do during the gold rush days.
The Mixed Nuts exhibit took place in May 2008 in Australia. The project involved interpreting a stuffed nut pattern that was shared with all participating artists including Lori Joy Smith, Sandra Monat, Jess Hutchinson, Elsita, and Kirsty Campion (the curator), among others. You can see all of the finished products at Kirsty's blog.
Our contribution (which we've been anxious to share photos of since sending it out in March) was conceived and finished while we were in Buenos Aires for a few months. Starting with the basic nut shape, our children drew birds, beetles, faces, fish, etc. One of the drawings depicted a monster that swallowed all sorts of objects and thus turned our attention to the inside of the nut. At the time, Enzo was also making many Katamari Damacy inspired drawings, so we combined the idea from those drawings of having trees growing on spheres and settled on creating an embedded landscape which could be made portable by closing up and sealing it with a zipper. With limited recycled materials we put together a series of small islands, three of them forested with 40 hand stitched miniature trees and one of them barren rock with two small houses. Our full set of images can be found in this set. Above is a video slideshow (also here) we put together in which Enzo demonstrates how to open and close the nut.
Update September 2008: After being on the road for a year, we're back in Southern California. We have many projects in the works including a new installation in San Diego, a group show in New York, original softie characters, and costumes for this year's Halloween. Bear with us as we are still gathering materials in our new studio. We'll be sharing more of our projects as often as we can. If you are interested in any of our available items, don't hesitate to ask and we'll send you more information about them.

After 7 days of continuous rain, this is the best outfit I can recommend for the would-be wandering designer.
A heavy-duty ziplock bag not only
keeps moisture out, but with a silica gel beads packet keeps my Moleskine reporter dry so pages don't stick together. The bag folds conveniently after you squeeze the air out and can be tucked into your pants pocket or carried like a purse or held like a furoshiki bag. A Ricoh GRD can be shoved in additional and would still fit well.
Inside are:
1. a see-through ruler
2.Muji pens in my indispensable Asian red and black inks
3. my Chinese seal in a portable plastic case with ink well. $15 custom made in Mongkok or $200 in Tokyo, take your choice but the one in Japan includes the design work and carving of an elderly craftsman on stone. I can design my own logos so I paid the $15.
4. Moleskine Reporter notebook with perforated pages.
5. Traditional soft jelly candies from HK. These candies were a part of my childhood, decades ago. The company now only makes melon and orange flavors but during my entire childhood and adolescence the flavors were banana and coconut which came in a pink box with the soft candies two levels deep and wrapping papers inside to keep them fresh. The banana candies had the most fragrant smell, as strong as sniffing glue.
Would someone please, please post a photo of a box of these candies?
