Just in time for winter, Audi has unveiled the designs for its A5 and S5 convertibles. It won’t be until March at the Geneva Auto Show that the cars will actually be shown to the public in the flesh sheet metal, but these rendered pics are enough to get the drooling started. For the U.S. market the A5 will give you the choice of the 2.0L TFSI four-cylinder, or the 3.2L FSI V6, that currently powers the A5 coupe. The S5 will be getting the new supercharged 333 hp, 3.0L TFSI V6. Both models will strangely go on sale here next fall, just in time to put the top up.

First I told you about the gas powered snowboard, and now this, a summer snowboard. I’m not sure, but I think the lack of snow makes this name fraudulent. However, if you can’t get enough of hitting the powder in the winter, you might want to check out the rugged, all terrain ‘360‘ summer snowboard by Francesco Sommacal. Sommacal set out to redefine extreme skateboarding through innovative design. The ‘360′ works by the rider putting their feet into the center openings of two wheels. The rider then steers the board by shifting their body weight forward or backward. Sommacal’s hope is the design will give snowboarders an alternative for practicing in the snow-less summer months.

Combining the excitement of riding a snowmobile with the freestyle action of a snowboard, is the gas powered snowboard. It is powered by a 6 1/2 hp four-cycle gasoline engine with a maximum speed of 18 mph. Accommodating riders up to 250 lbs., on its binding free, cleated foot pads, it can run for up to two hours, on just 3/4 gallon of gas. Get yours here for a cool $2000.00.

“All my “Contradictions” ongoing project has the same motivation/meaning. Technologies and the marketing behind them usually push the almost religious aspect of their evolution, as also said by Leander Kaheny in his “Cult of Mac” book, and the users are pushed to live in an intense way the abstraction from reality, living technologies only as an idea and sometimes without even knowing their real functions. And this aspect works for the social-networks too. The idealization connected with these experiences provokes a small-but- important detach of the perception of reality and what i want to do by writing the names of anything connected with the 2.0 life we are living in the slums of the third world is to point out the gap between the reality we still live in and the ephemeral world of technologies. It’s a kind of reminder, for people like me which i’m an Apple user and also have social-network accounts that the real world is deeply far from the idealization we have of it, not only in the third world and even if technologies and globalization are good things. I hope it’s clear and sorry for my italian-english” ;)”
