Heads up New York State drivers: The DMV is issuing new blue and gold license plates to vehicles to replace the current standard blue and white plates with the NYC skyline across the top.
The current blue and white plates were only meant to last 5 years but when they get replaced starting in 2010, some will have been on the road for up to 11 years.
I personally think the new gold Empire plates look ugly.
Thanks Jack for filling me in on this!

Franke & Heidecke have come out with a limited edition Rolleiflex box set that includes 3 cameras dipped in gold. The whole set costs 29,500 Euros, which is over $38,500 in USD.
The set was made to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Rolleiflex camera, and if you pay the full price, you’ll get the following cameras:
To make sure that the cameras are kept in pristine condition, the set comes packaged in a Bordeaux nappa leather and walnut box with CNC-milled lenshoods and filter adaptors for each camera.
And to go a bit further with the number 80, only 80 of these box sets will be created. After that, it’s eBay hunting for the rest of you.

I saw these Pipe Earphones by AIAIAI over at Acquire and thought they looked pretty outstanding and simple.
They go for about $50-$60 in black, yellow, green, purple, and gold (plus an option for the headset version for iPhone devices). That gold one kind of looks nice, but I’d have to see it in person to make a final decision as gold stuff almost always looks deceivingly good in photos.
