Surf Rescue Concept Car ~ Volvo XC70

Rapidsea readers will be happy to hear that  Volvo has gone to great lengths to create a surf rescue concept car, as reported here at the 4 Wheels Blog.
According to the post, the vehicle’s paint scheme was "[g]uided by the surfing lifestyle and casual beach culture" by DuPont.  That’s just the visual side of the [...]

Surfing is so much more fun with inexpensive contact lenses

I’m trying to figure out what this surfboard has to do with a contact lens order.  I don’t recommend surfing in a suit and tie, nor is it always the best idea to surf while wearing contact lenses.  But the latter is forgivable and usually necessary for the almost-blind.  You might want to save as [...]

Braun ~ industrial design surfing

I went out searching for a new electric razor because my Norelco is starting to suck.  I had seen an advertisement for a Braun that claimed it was getting rave reviews, so I went to their homepage.  One of the lead images was the one you see above.  Notice that they actually appear to [...]

Microsoft: Guitar-playing flamingo for Popfly Beta

If you look at that image there, you’ll see a flamingo with its head wrapped around the guitar.  There are some other images, which look mostly like standard stock photos, that rotate through the mix:

I started writing the post before I saw these, and of course the surfer, the dandelion-filled meadow, and the goldfish [...]

Happy Anniversary to The Atlantic magazine ~ unless that’s the Pacific ~ then you’re in trouble

I have referred to The Atlantic as being tied as my favorite magazine.  Through no fault of its own, it has now become my favorite because Time Warner just nixed Business 2.0 this month (and so generously offered to give us HALF of our remaining subscription in another magazine?).  This comes at a time when [...]

Couch surfing ~ short-term travel is fun again

Back in the days of escudos and francs, traveling abroad used to be a lot of fun. However, as the wave grew, everybody and their hamster decided to roll under humongous backpacks and head out for what turned into a rite of passage. Now, the competition for even crappy hostels and bathroom-sharing hotels [...]

The South’s Past, Present, and Future ~ Gardens, Guns, and Surfer Girls

About two months ago, on my way through Charlotte, North Carolina, this amazing cover of Garden&Gun magazine jumped off the newsstand at me:

This cover might surprise everyone but the Southerners reading this post, but the magazine really is about people with guns and beautiful gardens. Some of the images within could have been taken [...]

4: Rise of the Silver Surfer ~ not one to add to the Netflix queue until February

Today feels like an alien surfer day.
Forced plane movies are worth watching about half the time when you can get one.  I was surprised on my way to Dallas on Friday to see Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer, which I never had a chance to see in a theater despite feeling compelled to [...]

Enviga rating: hot

While the surfboard shapes jump out at me from this packaging, I have to say that I still like it. It’s fresh, and I can see how somebody might relate it to green tea with excitement. And you can find out if it really burns extra calories just by drinking a mere three [...]
