The EGO – Compact Semi Submarine By Raonhaje

Cool fishbowl sumbarine by Raonhaje EGO

Thanks to a Korean company, Raonhaje, discovering creatures of the sea can now be done in a very unique way. And best of all, you can do it all by yourself thanks to the easy to operate ‘EGO – Compact Semi Submarine’.

The central two-seater fishbowl cabin hangs down from two floating upper hulls with access to the cabin provided via a trapdoor and stairs.  The EGO can be driven just like a car ,with a foot pedal for throttle rather than a traditional hand lever like boats. The EGO has a top speed of 4 knots and is driven by an electric motor that can hold a charge between six and ten hours.

Volkswagen T5 ‘Prime’ by Hartmann

Volkswagen, never really been a fan of the vehicles they put out except for a special edition here and there or when a tuning company does a really nice job in making it stand out. And I can’t really picture myself buying a minivan, especially a Volkswagen. But the Volkswagen T5 done up by Hartmann is not so bad.

The Volkswagen T5 ‘Prime’ by Hartmann brings improvements to the exterior as well as performance enhancements to the midsize van. Changes to the ECU help the 2.0-liter TDI go from a 138 horsepower to a respectable 164 horsepower while torque is increased from 251 lb-ft to 291 lb-ft. And the same upgrade to the 2.0-liter BiTDI increase output from 177hp to 209hp while torque is increased from 295 lb-ft to 339 lb-ft. Those are some decent numbers there!

Interview: Contemporary Saxophonist Jafar Idris

I enjoy almost all genres of music and I consider myself to be pretty open-minded when it comes to music. I grew up on Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B from the 90’s and 2000’s. Jazz music has never been really my cup of tea but I certainly appreciate it. I’ll listen to it but won’t go out of my way to seek it.

A few months back, I was looking up some throw back songs from Usher on YouTube when I accidentally came across a few versions of Usher’s song ‘Nice and Slow’ done in a “saxophone version”. It kind of caught me off guard to see that and I decided to check the songs out because I always wanted to learn to play the Saxophone.  In my mind, the Saxophone seems like the perfect instrument to sweep a girl off their feet. A few of the versions of that song were pretty bloody good and two artists really stood out. One of those artists is saxophonist, Jafar Idris. After checking out his songs and enjoying much of his work, I decided to contact him and throw some questions his way.

Voyage 55 Yacht Inspired by Aston Martin

Yacht inspired by Aston Martin

When you think of high-end luxury yachts, does Aston Martin come to mind? If you said yes, that’s one hell of a lucky guess. We don’t normally associate the Aston Martin name marine recreational vehicles but one European design house thinks a little differently than most others.

Luiz de Basto Designs have created a concept Voyage 55 yacht which is inspired by luxury-sport vehicles such as the Vantage, DBS, Virage, and Rapide. Now imagine those beautiful cars but on a boating platform. What you get is the “Aston Martin” Voyage 55. The Voyage 55 features two-person seating up front, luxurious interior, light luggage space, and plenty of room in the rear for a party. But the main selling feature of this boat is the unique design.

Silhouette Desk Lamp With Levitating Technology

Electromagnetic floating desk lamp

Whether we admit it or not, the fact is that we all love it when the guests in our homes point to a specific item that catches their attention and talk about how cool it is. Every home has conversation pieces; some may be expensive items purchased just to get some attention, while others may be free and passed down from generation to generation.

The Silhouette Lamp with a levitating light is no exception, and is the creation of Angela Jansen. The design of the lamp reminds us of an old-fashioned lamp at first, but when you notice the floating part, you can’t help but appreciate the futuristic characteristics of it.
