I found this sponsor me video surfing on the Tube… Danny, can you take him?

Gianluca Mariani and Carletto Lalumera, two long time skaters from Milano, today discovered to the people at the local Parco Lambro Skatepark, their fridge-van Spaghetto that you can see in the pics below.

• useful – keeps cool many beers
• beautiful – the design speaks for itself
• transportable – with balanced wheels it can ride on the worst terrains and you can take it with you everywhere
• ecologic – instead of trashing an old fridge and a cradle you can reuse them cleverly. Loaded with ice blocks it keeps the temperature for the whole day.
• economic – go visiting your attic and maybe you’ll find all the materials to build your own version

If this is their contribution to the upcoming design week in Milano… Design Award ad honorem!

On Kingpin N.52 there is an 8 pages presentation (aka Slept On) of Nikolai Danov made by photographer Mirai Pulvirenti.

On Wednesday, April 9, starting at 6.30 PM bastard will open the doors of his Milan HeadQuarter for a meeting organized by the friends of OpenSpime. The event is open to every hardware hacker, but registration is required.

Here a concept video of a possible spime application:

Today we received nuts, bolts, screws etc. from Fixing Systems for the assembly of the bastard bowl that we’ll start to build during the next week… it’s a 200 Kg. box with 8200 pieces inside!

These are the parts for the structure only, the layers are excluded… what a useless wooden toy!

Today a group of students of the Laboratorio di Interni (II Year) of the Facoltà del Design del Politecnico di Milano came to visit us and examine the the project of the new COMVERT HeadQuarter (and house of the bastard) they studied on paper.

Yesterday night at the LambroSkatepark here in Milano there was a photosession with Daniele Galli, Nikolai Danov e Cristian “amen” Amendolara. It’s soo fun to skate at dark… unfortunately the Milan City Council still insist on negating lights to the skaters while claiming the city a modern one and hooray for the Expo. So we had to use our own.
