It's 1897 - and you are in the Swiss Army. Life isn't easy. While you get to wear a lofty beret and voluminous pants, your weaponry is limited to a six-foot spear-type thingy and incredibly sharp cheekbones.
This is all about to change with the invention of a top-secret blade. It's like nothing you've ever seen; a knife, corkscrew and tweezers all in one.
Welcome Powershovel, the Japanese camera brand that has created, fact, the first 110mm fish-eye lens camera. ‘Demekin', is small enough to fit right in your pocket - it could be a spy camera if not for the massive lens. The ethos of Powershovel is to use the camera not just as a machine, but a sketchbook of everyday life.
Sometimes I like to go into Big Dubs just to see what's snappin'. This fine emporium stocks much more than $6.25 flannies and $9.82 hipster plimsolls. There's also thrillingly vulgar matched luggage, make-your-own yoghurt kits, camping chairs so cheap you don't mind when a drunken web designer breaks yours at Meredith.

Sure, the UN has a ‘counter terrorism strategy’. When it comes to the crunch though, who’s really going to protect us? As Einstein said, “The individual must not merely wait and criticise, he must defend the cause the best he can. The fate of the world will be such as the world deserves.
In our worldly population of over 6 billion, the average person has around 700,000 hours to live. While most have watched a clinically damaging number of cartoons and are driven to take over the world, there are some who have invented their own worlds to rule (No, we're not referring to Delfin).
Everybody has a couple of beaters in the cupboard. But did you know you can actually bring those fargones back to life with a little elbow grease? What was once a black science has now been extensively researched in the latest Sneaker Freaker and for all the old-wives tales of obscurist abrasives and potions, the out and out winner has been a new product developed in the USA by Jason Markk Inc.
