The absolute absence of sincerity when he states he’s “remorseful” is priceless. Keep bombing.
Designer Je Sung Park says that disposable cameras and cell phones have gained acceptance, so why don’t we take the next step and bring out a disposable computer.
His Recyclable Paper Laptop is quite a raw version and could do with some refinement. It uses recycled paper or pulp material all packed in layers. This is so that you can easily replace the damaged portions (even corrugated paper will tear easy). I’m sure there is a big brain out there that will figure out the tech bit of this thing.

For those that weren’t in London to view the rare “Have A Nice Day” piece by Banksy originally from the Shoreditch Railway Bridge, Juxtapoz has posted pictures of the event. A satirical nod to riot police, the work of art is (quite clearly) signature Banksy. It has recently become the focal point of a new documentary on street art. Soho’s “The Great Fog” jewelry shop hosted the one night viewing, and hosted several curators in doing so.

There’s no shortage of books on Ian Curtis or Joy Division. At this point, everyone recognises Ian Curtis as a certified musical and style icon and he’s revered accordingly. It reached a point when Men.Style (RIP) labelled him as an ‘overinfluencer’. What makes this book different from the others is the fact that Kevin Cummins had captured them from their beginnings as ‘Warsaw’ to their heady heights. And, as you’d expect, there’s more than enough unseen images to make this worth a purchase. It is a first edition collectable copy though, so the £200 price tag shouldn’t be much of a shock. Pick this up over at Paul Smith.

The benefits of a fulfilling sex life include an overall sense of wellbeing and peace. Having a fulfilling relationship with a dose of intimacy is likely to aid this. One study among 900 middle-aged men in Wales found that those who had sex twice a week were likely to live about ten years longer than those who didn’t. There may be a chick-of-egg paradigm here, as the men who were sickly and lonely may have been less likely to have sex anyway, but there’s little doubt that sex and intimacy is good for your self-image, which is good for your health.
