How amazingly cool is this? :)

If you shop at all, I’m sure you have an abundance of discount cards in your wallet or tags hanging from your keys that you use at the local grocery store, pet store, etc to get in-store discounts. Wouldn’t it be nice to consolidate all of those discount cards?

From diymods.com:

“So I came up with this idea after about the 47th grocery store discount card I hard to sign up with. I was tired of my pocket looking like I was storing supplies for winter (you know, like chipmunks with their cheeks). It’s a card for your wallet that contains the barcodes for all those discount stores. I have the shoe store, pet store, and about 5 grocery stores on mine. I just whip out the card, tell them which barcode to scan, get a weird look and a question, and then I’m on my way.”

“On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive him at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

Now, thanks to the miracle of the Internets, you can watch it in your browser.”

This film is absoutely amazing.

Josh Rubin has started a campaign to have Adidas make the “Team Zissou” Adidas that are shown in the movie, “The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou“.

Here’s the letter he received back from Adidas:

Hello,
We have started a tally for all the requests of the Zissou to hand off to our Originals footwear group….wish list or petition, I’m not quite sure! A lot of requests have come in already, hopefully we’ll make a big splash.

If we can be of further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-448-1796 or by replying to this email at consumer.relations@adidasus.com. We are here Monday through Friday 7AM to 6PM (Pacific Time). Thank you for your pursuit of the adidas brand. It’s always great to hear from customers who share our passion for sports and the sporting lifestyle.

Until Adidas finally starts producing the shoes, you can always make your own.
