DJ AM was a big sneaker enthusiast and no stranger to the culture. After a near death experience with drummer friend, Travis Barker, last year it is sad to hear that DJ AM has died so soon thereafter, at the age of 36. He will be missed.

House on Water by Formodesign

Designed as a rental house for people who want to be independent,The House on Water designed by Formodesign, is located by Navagio beach, NW coast of the Greek Zante island.

The orientation was developed to maximize the use of solar energy. Strong decisions and consequence in driving its proportions guarantee the uniqueness of (formo)design. Dynamic and simple form are the result of the yach architecture interpretation. The core, made of concrete, is combined with steel cantilever structures. Foundation for the house is a concrete counterweight foot stabilizet with the sea bed pile system.The floating deck, which rises with the water level thanks to the railing installed in the core structure, leads you to the stairway. The top deck is available for the residents as well.

Eco-friendly features like the water desalination, energy accumulation, ventilation methods, water recycling, heat and energy consumption, tidal and solar energy systems are all there. HotW was designed to be sustainable. It is not only the installations, but it’s form and orientation. Vertical lines on the facade are the rails for computer driven shading system.

Cannon PowerShot G11 Set To Release in October

I NEED one of these in the worst way. I have had a lot of bad experiences with losing cameras but I think I'm gonna need one of these so that people dont think I'm a creep when I ask to take a picture of them for this blog. I would really look official with this one. The G11 replaces the flagship, multi-award winning G10, which was what I was planning to get until I found out about this. The G10’s 14.7MP sensor has been replaced with a 10.0MP CCD sensor, and although this may sound like a downgrade, the camera boasts a greatly expanded dynamic range that increases image quality and improves noise performance by up to 2 stops (compared to PowerShot G10). Less is more. The PowerShot G11 is also equipped to deal with any light condition, whether dim or bright. A 2.8-inch flip-out LCD screen is also added, making it the ideal choice for any shot where an SLR is impractical or obtrusive. The G11 releases in October for $499
