iPhone 5

“I love your old stuff better than your new stuff” – anyone who knows me knows that I’m more of a technophobe than tech geek. I love fat decks with big wheels, thin steel tubing and friction shifters on the downtube, sub 1000kg cars with no airbags…

Regarding mobile phones; I’ve always hated them. I was the last in my group of friends to buy one, even then I hated it and today I still find myself not answering it most of the time. I felt a little left out though in Taiwan as all the boys were on “whatsapp”, some new instant messaging system which couldn’t be installed on my iPhone 3GS because it was too old. That and my 3GS’ built in camera sux ass so I promised myself (whilst I was in Taiwan) that I’d get a new phone when I got back.

Well today I got my new iPhone 5. Now I’ve got to figure out how to get all my contacts off my old phone on to my new one… it shouldn’t be hard, but when you’re a pessimistic technophobe like me you know something will go wrong!

Daruma crazy


When I was trawling the net for Daruma information I came across this little dude on eBay and had to have him.


Official Disney merch.

I’ve ordered a whole lot of original (traditional) Japanese Daruma Dolls Zen Garage, they’re landed, will take pics of them ASAP. Still trying to hunt myself down a massive Daruma Be@rbrick too.

ANJA


ANJA Eurphorics in Black Gloss.

A few days ago I got a call from Caryn, her little brother Scott (he’ll always be Scotty to me!) has launched a new sunglasses company which totally took me by surprise!

I checked out the site, real nice. I thought Caryn had designed it but it turns out Scotty did it all by himself. Being a bit of a sunglasses collector I couldn’t help myself so I bought a pair.

They came in the mail today and I love them! They’re rad, packaged nicely, came with some stickers and an ANJA branded pouch and cleaning cloth too.

Check out: http://anjaeyes.com and also be sure to check out the ANJA Blog, warning though, it’s not safe for work!

SOLD on eBay


Sold for $400.


Sold for $1550.

I was hoping the bike would go for $500 (there were so many watchers!) but $400 is pretty good. Happy with the guitar too. More spending money for fish stuff aye?!

Ibanez RG Prestige RG2550ZL now on eBay


Ibanez RG Prestige RG2550ZL.

I’ve decided to sell my Ibanez RG Prestige too and it’s now on eBay. I just don’t play it at all. Heavy Metal isn’t my thing any more I suppose. I’m really wishing I bought an American Fender Strat instead now, big time!
