Now, Good magazines new home web address is Good.is, the new site is easy to navigate and is broken down into a few simple categories, magazine, blog, video, events, community. The video section of the new site is already loaded with a bunch of videos ranching from political spoofs to documentary type sets like its “on skid row” series.

This is the first of two website updates for this morning. The first is Ksubi the international fashion brand, they designed their website to mimic the classic basic look that Google made famous. At the top of the webpage you’ll be able to click on search, projects, men’s store, women’s store, sunglasses store, and products, click on one of the links and it will direct you to a page the looks similar to what a search result page would look like on Google. Also, type something into the search and see what you get, you might get a “no results” search or you might just get a Ksubi interpreted version of your search, have fun (that’s a hint that the word “fun” is searchable) with that.
MSTRPLN in collaboration with Ubiq created a wearable sneaker with wi-fi detecting technology built in. I heard about this shoe a while back, and thought it was a pretty good idea, but haven’t much heard of anything else since. So in the spirit of not letting things die, I’m talking about it again, and maybe some other cool tech inspired shoes will hit the market more. The ASRD (A Step In the Right Direction), as they are called can detect wi-fi frequencies the closer you get to them, and the stronger the signal the more the lights light up on the sneakers. So if you want to be fully tech-ed out, just rock your ASRD’s, have your blackberry in one hand, your iPhone in the other, while wearing your jaw bone earpiece, carrying your mac book in your raf simmons eastpack.

Apparently some kids actually go to college and do something besides get drunk and party, junior Jake Loniak is trying to move up the ranks to be on the level with the guy who invented this. Loniak’s exoskeleton motorcycle, Deus Ex Machina is the future of human travel, and definitely the future in cool movie vehicles. The vehicle (hard to call it a motorcycle) would be in an upright/stand up position when parked so the rider could step into the suit/exoskeleton of the vehicle to start it, then it would lower itself in the 3 wheel drive position. With the use of 36 artificial pneumatic muscles the vehicle is able to move with the body movements of a driver, topping off at 75 mph and powered by lithium-ion batteries. There’s a video demonstrating the vehicles proposed movements and how it how would look like being used, you can watch that video here. I’m going on record and saying I think you will see this in a movie soon, probably Batman’s or James Bond’s next vehicle of choice.
Jaudible is a new website dedicated on bringing you “true video stories”. Jaudible allows individuals from all over the globe to tell their stories or testimonies they want to share with the world.

Will this be the next wave in internet video, you had Current TV, then Youtube, and maybe soon in a year or two you might be saying you have Jaudible.

Ryz allows anyone to design a shoe and lets it get voted on by its peers, the winning design will get produced and then sold online.
