Metrofarm Turntables

Metrofarm Studios, based outta Berlin, creates custom DJ desks amongst countless other surface structures. Below you’ll see super stable materials like concrete and stainless steel being used which will make you start to wince at your milk crates and closet door. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Dim Sum Express

It was a Wednesday afternoon and I had a strange hankering for dim sum. In fact, I wanted some all week but between all the shit that consists of life, I had not found the time. Yet, I remembered seeing this food cart outside of Canada Place at the beginning of the cart explosion and now it was finally serving its purpose.

As with most culinary establishments and to the astonishment of anyone in accompaniment, I usually look for the most expensive thing on the menu. This is to a) hopefully get served the best tasting dish and b) get a full stomach. Simply, Combo A was the choice here. It had 4 pieces of Siu Mai, 2 pieces of Shrimp Dumplings, a side of Chow Mein and some Gai Lan. Another thing you may not know about me is that soup is a must. Why do I eat noodles so much? It’s the soup. Rice Plate? Soup. Hamburger? Soup. So? I also ordered the WonTon soup. Hole up. $4.50? What the fuck? Oh, I get 8 pieces? Well, aight then.

Yes to the sweet soy sauce and yes to the hot sauce. Sriracha for sure. Always sriracha. Hey, wait a sec. That squeeze seemed watery. I know my sriracha and that ain’t it’s consistency. And when I ate it, I reassured myself that I truly am a chili god. Wait, what am I talking about? Oh yes, food. Boring right? Well, same with the dim sum. Pretty run of the mill fast food. These are the same dumplings you can get at T&T Market for practically the same price but for 48 more pieces. And the fortune cookie was a stereotypically nice touch. So did convenience play a part? Big YES. Do I still need to go to Floata for my chicken feet and turnip cake fix? Very big YES.

The iPhone Lens Dial

Attention all you tumblr and instagram addicts. Photojojo presents the iPhone Lens Dial: a hardware add-on for your iPhone 4/4s consisting of a 0.7x wide angle lens, a 0.33x fisheye lens and a 1.5x telephoto lens all in a single case. Sure it adds heft and it doesn’t make your phone really pocketable but it would save you from lugging your DSLR everywhere.

(note: I don’t own a T3i so I have no personal point of reference but would be willing to take any unwanted cameras)

Priced at $250, you can order yours HERE.
