Melbourne tree talk

Just so you know....

Some people dream of success, others make it happen. Of course, you can dream as much as you like but waiting for things to happen gets you nowhere. Get active and start making things happen.

Whatever journey your path takes you on, the most important thing is to have passion in what you do.

How many of you went to college, got your degree, and ended up doing something totally unrelated to your major? Studying it did not make you passionate about it. It wasn’t your path.

Education or even talent aren’t worth much without passion. So do the stuff that you love and you've always wanted to do because without it, you'll feel stuck and unfulfilled. If you work in a bank but your dream is to be a naturopath, then make those changes now. Make this year the turning point in your life. When you do what you love you will be rewarded — it will just flow naturally.

Look at those around you who just make things happen. They have a clear goal in mind and they know where they want to go. They don't always have a plan but they have the passion and the tenacity to make it work, and they achieve their goals as the end result.

Trust us when we tell you this. If something important to you, you WILL find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse. It’s that simple. Find your way. Make it work, whatever it takes. Are you 10 kilos heavier than you should be? It is simple: Commit, go to that gym every day, no excuses, and train until you lose those 10 kilos. When you accomplish this, you'll have the confidence to do more. Set a goal and make it happen.

Want to stop smoking? Stop making excuses, take control of your circumstances before they take control of you.

Success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life, it's about what you inspire others to do and when you do accomplish something as simple as quitting smoking or losing weight, you'll inspire others to do the same. Anyone can change the world, and everybody should try. And it all starts with your own life.

Stop waiting for the perfect time to do what you want to do. Do it now.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, so get used to being uncomfortable. It won’t kill you. Do you need a sign? Here it is: - Bill Tikos

This ain't a movie no, no fairy tale conclusion ya'll

Amazing street artist Dave Meggs from Melbourne - Endeavor Snowboards Video

Meggs for Endeavor from Endeavor Snowboard Design on Vimeo.

Endeavor Snowboards invited Australian street artist Dave “Meggs” Hooke out to its Vancouver design office to tap his creative vision for a series of custom installations. The episode comes as the first in a series of content films that Endeavor aims to release as a means to tell the story behind its various ventures and collaborative projects. Having worked with Endeavor on past snowboard designs, Meggs pulled inspiration from the immediate Vancouver area by applying color hues and tones from the local climate and geography during his visit to the Terminal City.

QUMA, THE SMART ASS 3D

Japan-based SoftEther has developed a cool 3D motion-capture figure [JP] to create computer graphics and animations in 3D. Dubbed Quma, the human-like doll has a set of joints throughout its body, all of which are equipped with sensors and can be moved freely by the user: hold up the right arm for example, and the 3D figure on your computer screen will do the same, in real-time.

So Quma is essentially a mini 3D motion-capture device that makes it easier and more intuitive for designers and engineers to create 3D CG, for example for video games, robot applications, training and education simulations etc. Plugging the Quma into a USB port is enough – drivers or external power aren’t needed.

You saw it but you didn't know it....Introducing the 'Maxims of Behaviour' by Alexander Knox

Melbourne shines in winter and this year is no exception.

Fireworks will light up the Docklands every Friday in July. A seasonal artwork called 'Maxims of Behaviour' will illuminate the cityscape from dusk until late throughout winter. And Federation Square's annual winter celebration, Light in Winter, will kick into action.

Plus there’s the State of Design Festival, incorporating 72 Hours Urban Action at the Docklands, Melbourne Open House and Look.Stop.Shop – a design-oriented walking tour focussing on inspiring installations by some of the city’s design-minded businesses.

That's Melbourne

Close your eyes and count to ten....

Music takes us back in time....It's a form of time traveling. 

Where were you when this wonderful song came on the radio for the first time?

In Tribute to Japan Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Explosions by World Order.

Japanese pop group World Order introduce a new music video for their track “Machine Civilization”, produced in light of the recent earthquake tragedy in Japan. Of course the group is widely popular for its front man Genki Sudo, famous for his career as an MMA fighter turned musician. Genki offers some insight into the video below:

The unprecedented disasters unfolding in Japan; earthquakes, tsunami, and nuclear explosions, will somehow change things to come. And to send my message about this, I have expressed it here with WORLD ORDER.

These disasters can be interpreted as a turning point for civilization. I think that we have arrived at a time of revolution, shared with all the people of the world, in today’s society, economy, and political systems.

Incidents themselves are neutral.

I believe that every single one of us, wandering through this deep darkness, can overcome anything, if only we let go of our fear, and face the it all in a positive light.

The world is not going to change. Each one of us will change. And if we do, then yes, the world will be changed. It is darkest right before the dawn. Let’s all rise up to welcome the morning that will be so very bright for mankind.

WE ARE ALL ONE

Together with Hypebeast.

LDtK.'s Review on 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Melbourne Delivery

After five years of waiting Melbourne will finally gets its first FJ Cruiser on the streets.

Set to go on sale in March, 2011. Pricing from AUD$35,000 to AUD$55, 000 people say.

LDtK.'s Review:

- A tough-looking off-roader.

- Built on a Prado platform.

- Cool stereo option.

- 3 screen wipers at your service.

- Interior needs more detail.

- Don't know about the suicide doors.

- Fuel economy is very bad for a 2 door vehicle.

- The price is too high if compared to other 4X4s.

- Last but not least, why other countries gets this 5 years earlier and so much cheaper to buy?!?!
