// RAD MAG


I grew up skateboarding in Britian, I didn't have Transworld or Thrasher, all I had was R.A.D. I was working on some "old-school" research the other day and came a cross a site which is dedicated to R.A.D Magazine in the crucial years (up until 1993) the authors plan (I am assuming he used to work for the mag) is to "re-publish each magazine, a page at a time, until the whole lot is here" It's worth checking out just for the scans of "vintage ads".....more here

He's battling back from numerous surgeries and has got some skateboard industry "heavies" to help out with the financial burdon of the hospital bills etc...by offering some real "classic" and "rare" skateboard goodies up for auction on ebay, go here now for the listings....

// HQ SKATEBOARD TEAM




We've got an old-school posse of Skaters who get together once a month or so and rent out our local skatepark and try to re-kindle our youth.

// REAL FAKE WATCHES




Get It? They are 100% real fake watches, each one is laser cut from three pieces of genuine leather and manually assembled. they are fastened with velcro. each one comes with both a unique time (hand-picked by our randomizer robot and accurate 1 to 2 times a day) and a thinglink engraved on the back. BTW: Thinglink.org is an open database where makers can register their work for free and create labels for their products. crafters, artists, designers, producers, and other makers can use thinglink to identify their products and document their work. website for the watches here and more nice pics here at their flickr photoset....

// JACK GODFREY WOOD




In Jacks words "£used is a plug that aims to reduce domestic electricity use by making users aware of the financial implications of their current energy usage habits. Each plug shows the projected cost of an appliance if it was used in its current state for a year" It's a great idea and has already won a couple prestigious awards, I hope GE licences the idea and Jack sells a million units......more about Jack and his other concepts here
