♦ I do not think this is her kid but I can’t be sure. However, I have actually seen Sheila sitting in one similar after partying in the hot Alabama sun, but that’s another post.

Blog World Expo 2009

It’s interesting to see the evolution of social  media as Marc Ostrick and Michael Sean Wright set out to document a day at Blog World Expo in Las Vegas.  I just realized how boring I actually am!

Can your boyfriend do this?


Guys are still pulling out all the stops to impress the chicks.

On-board in Costa Rica!

727 1

Are you searching for  a unique holiday at an exotic locale with a breathtaking ocean front view? Then start thinking the jungles of Costa Rica and imagine a stay at the Hotel Costa Verde. This has got to be one of the most creative recyling efforts in the tourism industry. For a mere $500.00 (USD) a night you can stay in the only suite of it’s kind world-wide.  The hotel’s official website describes their newest two bedroom suite as follows:

We salvaged this airframe, piece by piece, from it’s San Jose airport resting place. We carefully transported the pieces on five, big-rig trucks to the jungles of Manuel Antonio where they have been resurrected into a unique jumbo hotel suite. Our classic airplane, nestled on the edge of the National Park in our Costa Verde II area, is perched on a 50-foot pedestal. At this height, you will enjoy scenic ocean and jungle views from the hard wood deck built atop the plane’s former right wing.

The plane’s interior is Costa Rican teak paneling from the cockpit to the tail. Furnishings are hand-carved, teak furniture from Java, Indonesia. Our 727 home features two air conditioned bedrooms–one with two queen sized beds and the other with one queen sized bed, each with its own private bath—a flat screen TV, a kitchenette, dining area foyer; an ocean view terrace; a private entrance up a river rock, spiral staircase; and 360 degrees of surrounding gardens.

Novation Launchpad

Launchpad is a dedicated controller for Ableton Live, co-developed by Novation and Ableton. Perfect for DJing, performing live or working in the studio, Launchpad features a multi-color, 64-button grid, control modes for the Session View and Live’s mixer, two fully-programmable User Modes and dedicated scene-launch/function buttons. Despite the big grid, Launchpad is neat, compact and portable: 239 x 239 mm with a slim 24 mm profile and weighing a little over a oud and a half or about 717 g.

Novation Launchpad

Launchpad uses four different modes:

  • Session Mode for controlling clips in Ableton Live’s Session View
  • Mixer Mode for controlling Live’s mixer
  • Two User Modes for custom device control and configuration
  • I’m not quite sure, is this cool or not? You all would know!

    Magazine Prophylactic

    This is a novel idea by designer Yu-hun Kim who is studying Product and Furniture Design at Kingston University in London. It’s a transparent book shield and for some folks, a definite necessity. Okay Tripsters, Cool or not? Weigh in at the comments section of this post.

    U3-X

     

    Honda U3-X

    Introducing Honda’s U3-X ~ the Segway for people who just can’t or won’t get off their ass! It driven similar to the Segway, if you lean into it and it will move in all four directions. This omnidirectional apparatus weighs just 22 lbs and will run approximately one hour when fully charged. Unfortunately, for the general populace, I can see it as a unicycle but not much more. However, there may be a use for this mobility device after all within certain subsets of the disabled community. I’m still thinking on the possible uses for this personal mobility device.

    Key specifications of the experimental model:
    - Length×Width×Height(mm) = 315×160×650
    - Weight = less than 10kg
    - Battery Type = Lithium ion battery

    Welcome to Sexy Monday!

    I hope you all had a great weekend and that you enjoy the pics I selected for today’s post. After careful thought and consideration I have decided that Tripsters may not be quite ready for me to kick things up around here. Now, that may change on any given Monday but the poll I ran last Monday was just too close to call. Seems folks simply don’t care much either way on the subject so I’ve decided to keep my current pace.

    If you didn’t get a chance to vote but want to, go to the poll and let your vote count. I’ll check back often to see if there is any change. Otherwise, I’ll assume I’m doing a good enough job already. Thank you to those who took the time to vote. Enjoy your day!

    What’s your fetish?

    We all have hot buttons that love to get pushed. Like watching a good movie your new beau picked out, a new sexual partner has the potential to show you something that you love, that you never would have found on your own. Of course, we all agree, getting naked heats things up, but there’s more to sex than bodies. Your brain is your biggest erogenous zone, and there are plenty of folks with creative minds who take their sexy time to places of desire where other people would never dare to go. So, without further adieu, to inspire you, here are seven surprising fetishes you probably haven’t already come up with on your own … or have you?

    7 Surprising Fetishes:

     Lindsey Lee

    1. Fluffy Woolies: Who doesn’t like a cozy sweater? Some peeps take that fuzzy feeling further to full-on body suits with glory holes, akin to furries but with knitwear. Bet their sexy time get-ups must be a real bitch to dry-clean.

    Big balls

    2. Big Balls: We’ve all gotten plenty of email spam about products promising to enlarge a penis, but some peeps want bigger balls. Some guys will even undergo “testicle stretching” where doctors inject fat into their scrotum to make them look more virile

    Looners

    3. Looners: A balloon fetish isn’t just a lot of hot air; it’s got some pop too. Latex gets taken to a whole new level, as these fetishists enjoy everything from popping balloons to getting inside them.

    pedal pumping

    4. Pedal Pumping: Fast cars, fast women: sounds hot, no? These fetishists get off on an up close and personal look at a lady’s foot putting the pedal to the metal. They rev more than just the car’s engine.

    sexy sneeze

    5. Mucholphilia: Also known as asneezing fetish. One innocent “achoo!” can be a turn-on. From the breathy inhale to the final “ooo,” a sneeze can be just another involuntary bodily function to add to your seduction repertoire.

    tickle

    6. Tickling: You’ve got an itch to scratch, no? This is often an extension of bondage; the ticklee is tied down while her partner goes to town tickling and pleasuring her. Giggle!

    sexy robot

    7. Robots: Ever seen the infamous Melanie Griffith ‘80s B movie, “Cherry 2000″? Well, it’s all about a guy who’s in love with a robot sex doll. In real life, it can be the latest honey-tweaked in Japan or a woman dressed as a metal machine

    Are you watching?

    I love this video clip from Keeley Hazell’s debut single, ‘Voyeur’. I apologize ahead of time for this flick cutting out abruptly at the end. It’ so worth it though. I feature Keeley frequently here at Trippin’ with Rip, I think she is just so beautiful! Nurse Myra, don’t cha want that corset for your corset Friday?

    Voyeurism, is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other activity usually considered to be of a private nature.
