Graffiti artist Alan Ket has been charged with 14 criminal counts, including trespass, criminal mischief and making graffiti, according to the New York Times. If convicted, he could spend decades in prison and face large financial penalties. One of the more controversial aspects of this case, and ironically the thing that might end up vindicating him, is that the police never caught the writer in action, ever.
Another shout out to SOT’s newest contributor Tony Nguyen from Philly. Keep a look out for his post because they’re going to be good ones. Keep waiting for the about pages, they’re coming. Enjoy the posts.
I’m lazy, but I’m changing my ways and thanks to Ekonline I was invited to 8apps, the social network for the productive. It’s an ongoing project started by Jonkenpon that plans on creating eight different applications designed to help people work better. Currently there are four (Handshake, Blueprint, Orchestrate, Pinpoint) and another four in the making. I just started using it and it’s pretty nice, maybe not the most productive person but I can definitely see how this might change the idea of social networks. I can keep ranting about the site but I rather have you find out on your own, so we’re giving out invites, all you need to do is ask.
As many of you may have heard, a while ago the infamous street artist, Banksy, replaced 500 copies of Paris Hilton’s debut album with fakes in stores all over the UK. The disc itself was replaced by a disc with Paris repeating “that’s hot” over and over. The liner notes were replaced with scandalous photos of Paris and phrases such as “Why am I famous?”.
Another artist, who goes by the name of Vinchen, has also taken it upon himself to throw some shots at Paris. He placed several posters of what is pictured above in a Hilton Resort in Columbus, Ohio. Take that. If you’re staying at the hotel you might as well know what you’re paying for, right?
Here’s a shout out to Jan Hail, SOT’s newest contributor coming straight from Guam. Read more on her when our “about” page opens up in a few days. For now enjoy the posts.
I’m not too sure if I like the idea or if I find it slightly disgusting that i can slip a drink in my sandal, I’m leaning towards disgusting. But here it is, Reef has just come out with the Dram sandal for those individuals who don’t know what pockets and a flask are. The sandal holds up to 3 ounces of liquid and comes with a handy window at the bottom of your dirty sandal to see how your drink is doing.
