Day Trip to Cinque Terre – Da Toy Shop Original
Visiting Cinque Terre was a dream come true for the misses, she had been wanting to get here for quite some time, given the real man your boy is how could we keep the lass waiting? As fun as it would be to Instagram all these photos of Cinque Terre we’ll refrain, just enjoy the uncut photo essay of a day trip to Cinque Terre.
In case you are curious where these small Italian towns are located we’ll fill you in on the details plus a patent DTS Pro Tip. Sitting pretty on the north western coast of Italy, just an hour or so south of France by rail. It’s easy to reach as we eluded to by rail, rental car or bus. Once here, you can simply get from town to town by regional train, it’s cheap too, just buy a day pass for around 8 euro.
Pro Tip: Stay in Levanto, you’ll find it just north of Vernazza, it’s a small resort town with beautiful beaches, low cost hotels and in striking distance of the over crowded Cinque Terre.
Pen Type-A Formerly a Hi Tec C
Hi Tec C pens are cult favorites like the Big Lewbowski, Pliny the Elder, and big bewbs…well sort of. Primarily found in small office supply stores in Asia, for many years somewhat difficult to obtain state side, these pens write in a manner which can make the most foolish with a pen come off as a certified calligraphy-oso (yeah just made that up, supposed to mean sharp wit da pen and shit).
A couple fellas who like designing stuff, both soft and hard so they say (???) came up with a case for said pen, made out of a single piece of 304 steel. Built to last a lifetime. What this does is replace the cheap plastic sheath your Hi Tec C was born with to provide it the home it was meant to live in.
Want one? It will cost you, $99 bucks will earn you a single Pen Type A (new home of your Hi Tec C)
Wacom Inkling a Sketchers Dream
Like to sketch or doodle and every once in a while put together a modern day masterpiece only to realize its on a bar napkin and will never reach it’s potential to become a digital entity standing alone on a pillar of excellence and awe?
Don’t fret, you’re not the only one. Wacom has decided to rescue folks suffering this horrid fate, introducing the Inkling. A combination of a digital sketch pen with a ball point pen end, any piece of ink soaking paper and receiver for recognizing your pen strokes and transferring to the Inkling Sketch Manager software program.
So doodle away my friend and take that shizzel digital for eff sake.
Wonder if Jackie Treehorn had this in mind when he penciled this gem?

Favorite Tracks:
What if Dyson Made Electric Motor Bikes
Like my main man Roberto says, “wow”, in an only Italian manner which leads others to know he means it. After checking out these bad anus sketches by Imran Othman I can only say, “wow!” The Dyke Air Bike, conceptualized after a Dyson fan is straight up Redonkulous, in theory in would use the Dyson air multiplier technology to reverse g-forces to lift this bike off the ground and propel through the air with…air of course.
Photosynth Panorama by Microsoft
Took this baby for a spin on a recent trip to Euroland, more specifically Italia and Côte d’Azur. Fuckin’ sweet, what a nice lil piece of app this Photosynth turned out to be. Due to it’s simplicity, and overall next level smarts we were able to pull shots our 6 year old Kodak wudn’t game for. A highly recommend use of digital real estate on your iDevice for folks even mildly in to photography like yo boy.
Enjoy a couple of our holiday favorites.
Vernazza in Cinque Terre, Italy
