Georgetown is growing up!

Administrator — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 01:27:50 +0000

I was getting a coffee in the Seattle warehouse suburb of Georgetown today. Saw that a new Via Tribunali pizza joint is opening down here. And, some fancy new apartments going up. I suspect people who bought property 5 years ago in this old warehouse district are going to be very happy as this neighborhood grows up to be Seattle’s next hip place to hang out.

I thought this postcard was funny…

CafePress has acquired Imagekind!

Administrator — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:03:06 +0000

It was in July 2006 when we launched Imagekind to the world for the first time. Here we are two years later and we are pleased to announce that the leading print-on-demand company has purchased the company. CafePress is a Sequoia backed company that needs no introduction. In our first meeting with co-founder and CEO Fred Durham we immediately understood this team to be smart, rational, hard-working and prudent decision makers. We are very, very lucky to be a part of this family. Congratulations to the whole Imagekind team who worked so hard to get us here. Kevin Saliba (CEO), Emanuel Bettelheim (CTO), Aleks Davidovich (GM, Ops) and all the others I’m not listing here by name…thank you so much.

4th of July Party…

Just a little photoshop experiment - playing with lighting effects and RGB filters.

Now this is one heck of a nice find. Get some ideas, then go do something interesting.

Spyker C8 Laviolette

Spotted this Spyker at Park Place Motors in Bellevue WA. GT3 owned by my friend Brian Witz who was having some work done. The dutch Spyker is an aluminium hand built, mid-engined is powered by an Audi V8 engine (type S8). The $241,000 hand-built luxury creation is one of only 25 such cars in a limited series. The 400-horsepower vehicle has a top speed around 187 mph and 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. In real life the attention to detail that you see on this car is amazing. Everything from the exhaust tips to the brake and throttle peddle are meticulously machined into works of art.

Classifieds like no other

You just have to love www.asmallworld.net

This is certainly the social network of the over achievers. I was going through their auto classifieds today because sometimes there are some interesting cars. But, I just couldn’t help but smile as I was noticing the listings today.

Let’s see. Just on this one page we’ve got a Lamborghini Reventon for 2 100 000 USD, an SLR Roadster for 430,000 euros, a McLaren F1 LM engine, and a Bugatti Veyron. You won’t see that kind of activity on Facebook my friends.

Some nice work over at olofdotter
