04IceRocketSummer hasn’t even started yet and its scorching outside out here in the 4000. Whats colder than cold? Rocket shaped ice lollies! or popsicles as some of you may call them. These are just awesome! These have been designed by Slam Design, who have a bit of a habbit making quirky useless kitchen tools and nerdy gadgets.

Rocket – Ice Lolly Maker

Homemade ice lollies have always been a hit for the whole family and now they are even better. Fashioned after 1950’s style Si-fi spaceships, the Ice Rocket comes complete with  folding fiery flame handle and an elegant retro body.

  • Twin Pack
  • Includes launch pad (holds the rockets upright inside the freezer)
  • Robust folding flame shaped handle
  • Available in any flavour you want to make!

    Noosa Status Update – 27.09.2009 – Noosa Classic Car Show



    First off, we know we’ve been a bit slack this last week or so with the posting. Both of us have been pretty busy with our lives outside the realm of P4 (hard to believe).

    Anyway, this past Sunday we rolled into the Noosa Classic Car Show and were thoroughly impressed. Somebody proclaimed it to be “Australia’s answer to Pebble Beach”. Whilst this is an unfair comparison for both parties involved, there were some great automotive masterpieces on display (and some not-so-great). Unfortunately the dust whipped up by strong winds meant that most of these classics were covered in a thin film of dust.

    We realise that simple shots of cars can be pretty damn boring so we tried to give you a taste of the event from a more interesting perspective. Hit the jump to see what we came up with.

    As of recent Adidas has been killing it with the introduction of their “Adi Skate” range. The newest model to join the family is the “Adidas Campus Vulc Hi”, yet again they have seamlessly melded a classic silhouette into a new application. This colourway has been inspired by the Adidas Diagonal skate flick and features a classic red/white/blue design on the heel and a nicely contrasting gum sole. The materials look on point, the fatter laces look appropriate, the tongue detail is sick and the use of colour on this shoe has been brilliantly executed.

    T – The Wood Woods are brilliant every time I look at them I think, “perfect tennis shoe”…

    t – Haha really? The blue canvas Rod Laver?

    T – Yeah I would never wear them, but in my opinion it epitomizes that look

    t - I agree at them looking good, almost like a Vans alternative in the way of being subtle

    T - The Rod Laver and the Lacoste Carnaby I think it’s called both have that look you know what i mean?

    t - Nearly bought them the other night from Hanon, $140 landed

    T – You should its perfect for you really

    t – If I had cash inflow, one thing that threw me off is that I think they’re basically the same colour as jeans, which kind of looks lame

    T – I think they are shorts shoes

    t – Yeah well imagine how huge they’d look on me

    T – That is the point no?

    t – No?…..

    T – Let the ladies know what they are working with?

    t – HA!

    Today the entire east coast of Australia got hit with a dust storm, shit is mental my car looks like it hasn’t been washed in years, you literally can’t walk outside without coughing up some dust and they put out a warning telling asthma patients to remain indoors. I have never seen the sun like this, here are just some photos I took this afternoon.
