Finished in rum casks for a slightly sweeter expression

I would really like to get my hands on The Balvenie’s latest release, a 14 year old whisky called Caribbean Cask. The single malt scotch is titled as such because after being aged in traditional whisky barrels for 14 years, it was transferred to rum barrels to finish. The Speyside distillery crafts some of the […]

Another brilliant way to get rich while clowning the art world

Remember in 2007 when Damien Hirst took that skull and encrusted it with a bajillion diamonds, and then put it up for sale for $100,000,000? And then remember how nobody bought it, and then at the last second a “mystery” buyer came out of nowhere and salvaged the value of his entire oeuvre bought it? […]

Well Porsche just designed one, only this one costs […]

According to GTSpirit, this is not an official Aston Martin, but rather a coachbuild project by Star Electric Cars France — a company best known for building golf carts shaped […]

Now only half as hideous...but it can still fly

Remember that Terrafugia Flying Car we talked about last summer? They promised it was more than wistful ambitions and barely functioning proof of concepts, hoping to enter production as early as this year. Well apparently they’re one step closer, finally releasing the production version of their Transition Flying Car, which they’ve given a significant facelift. […]


The continuing saga of one girl’s plight with unemployment…(read vol I,  vol II, vol III, vol IV and vol V) That’s right. I am living large. Like MTV Cribs large. Like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous fancy. Like Oprah, if Oprah floated in Malibu pools sipping sangria. And I’ve probably never been so poor. […]
