Holiday Dunnys Ruin Christmas at Kidrobot!

Last September we posted an article: Dunny Series 2009: released! and in October it was about An Interview with Frank Kozik at Juxtapoz. This time we wanted to show you a very crual nice video introducing Chuckboy‘s 3-inch Naughty Reindeer Dunny, doe-eyed deviant rewards nice kids with his removable bull whip and vinyl antlers, and naughty ones with two badass chases.  More about the Naughty Reindeer Dunny by Chuckboy at Kidrobot!


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, best game ever!

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is out and it’s the best game ever! The single-player experience, the multiplayer modes and features, online competition, full co-op Spec Ops mode. Not to mention the impressive graphical engine… Everything’s there and kicking, and Inifinty Ward‘s game is definitely the best first-person shooters.   Sorry to takeover the (not so) serious articles usually posted on the Sama Gazette but I have ...


An Interview with Frank Kozik at Juxtapoz

  Juxtapoz published a very interesting interview of Frank Kozik. It was during The Art of Rebellion, an art show in NYC featuring 10 iconic rock poster artists, and Juxtapoz got a chance to speak with renowned artist, Frank Kozik. They talked about the artistic process, the state of the music industry, and his Kid Robot toys.   Kozik’s quick bio (from Wikipedia):   Frank Kozik was born in Madrid, Spain. At the age of 14 he moved to the United ...


DailyMotion gets €7.5 million from French State

Dailymotion is the French equivalent to Youtube, and it was launched 4 years ago. The site has 60 million users, 1 billion videos viewed a month, and it is offering both amateur and professional content, with contextual advertising. Like on Youtube, you can watch serious video as well as more weird video. The site is independant, but will it stay this way? Many questions are raising since the organism of the French State: FSI (Fonds Strategique ...


Honda U3-X: motorised unicycle from Japan

We love unicycles. We wish we all come to work using an unicycle. Just so we can have fun looking at each others. In August, we started the ‘Unicycle Series of Posts’ with the eniCycle: eniCycle: electric unicycle for lazy circus clowns and in September, we followed with the YikeBike: YikeBike: high wheel bicycle of the 21st century. Now, let us introduce you to the Honda U3-X! Honda presented the U3-X last month and here is what we know: the ...


YikeBike: high wheel bicycle of the 21st century

Last month, we introduced you to the eniCycle: electric unicycle for lazy circus clowns; today we want to show you the YikeBike: high wheel bicycle of the 21st century. And we are very serious about it: the YikeBike has been released at EUROBIKE on September 2, 2009 and this is a radical electric bicycle that just weighs 9.8 kilograms and folds to 67×56×12 cm to fit in a backpack. And it definitely looks like a high wheel bicycle from the Victorian era ...


Dunny Series 2009: released!

Vinyl toys. First time we actually saw one of them was 3 or 4 years ago, when Max Dana, on a cold winter morning, put on the conference table a toy from spanish designer Jaime Hayon. We looked at it, we wondered what it was, who designed it and ultimately if it had any kind of sexual use (you know, vinyl toys…). Max told us a lot about those designer toys before but it was the first time she shared with us a piece of her very private collection. ...


Wolfenstein: weapons fully loaded!

You are sent on a special mission into the heart of the Reich to investigate evidence of the Nazi‘s possession of a new and mysterious power. While behind enemy lines, you discover they have done much more than develop a new weapon.

eniCycle: electric unicycle for lazy circus clowns

Have you ever try unicycling? Bad souvenirs… But there is now a solution for the lazy circus clowns you are. Slovenian inventor Aleksander Polutnik created eniCycle, an electric unicycle operated by a self-balancing gyroscope system with an embedded processor and powered by an electric motor. This is one wheel of fun, gyroscope stabilization prevents falling forward / backward and direction steering is done by pressing on the left/right foot rest. ...


Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd

    How would you define a Geek? Do you know some Geeks? Are you a Geek yourself? We had to check so we had a look at Wikipedia > Geek and here is what we found:   – A derogatory reference to a person obsessed with intellectual pursuits for their own sake, who is also deficient in most other human attributes so as to impair the person’s smooth operation within society.   But also:   – A more recent school of thought sees Nerd as ...
