Closing Shop

So I’m off to bigger better things dear readers. My wife and I have started a blog together – Grizzly Bear Modern. It’s all the awesome of Aucoti + more! Mixtapes, art, style, and more home and cooking ‘ish. So go now! You won’t regret it. Peep that site design. You like? It’s my first try at building a website, and its pretty dope if I do say so myself.

I hereby officially close Aucoti in order to give life to Grizzly Bear Modern

Greetings from Sin City

Hey there everyone. I’m in Vegas for the weekend for CES. The world’s largest consumer electronics show. This is where anyone who’s anyone *cough* except for Apple and Google *cough* comes to show off all their new products for 2010 and beyond. Got a couple of pics for ya that I liked not just ‘cuz they are cool products, but nice photos too.

Left: Samsung channels their inner George Nelson with their “booth” setup. Right: Intel had a wall showing “the world live.” It was aggregating live content into cubes for you to pull up and access the data. See more from the show after the jump:

Life Long Work Week Print

I’ll take one – thank you very much. Oh, the interweb is a cruel temptress. So many nice things to put on my walls, so few frames. Get this collaborative edition by Chad Kouri and Jesse Brown for $50 over at the Post Family Shop on vintage white or gray paper.

Miike Snow -Silvia

I love these guys. They will be making an appearance on my Faves of 2009, but more on that later. This video is very McCarthy’s The Road. Found on YASLY

Congo Dandies

If you think it’s hard to keep your suit fresh and pressed, imagine if you lived in the Congo! These stylish cats spend all of their non-existent income on their threads. In this Congolese subculture, these guys suit-up and compete against each other for the most dandy. Check out more here.

Kim Keever = Mind Blown

So take a gander at this seemingly goofy little diorama. Not such a big deal right?

Don’t Eat It

I hope Santa brought you everything you wanted and you’re with the ones you love.

I Have a Poster Problem…

I’m like CRAZY addicted to prints/posters/letterpress/photos/things you frame/things that get put on walls.  The prints below are just a few I’ve come across in the last few days that I want to possess. Secondly, I came to the conclusion today that if I’m going to keep feeding this addiction (cuz I have no intention of stopping) and not have packed walls, I’ll have to rotate out my posters et al. Most of the art I’m attracted to is conveniently 18×24 so it’d be a pretty seamless seasonal transition – which has me pretty excited. See my wish list after the jump:
