Sears Tower: from the top

Luis Acoltzi | July 3, 2009

I was browsing around my feeds and found this pretty cool picture over on Common’s blog that’s taken from the new Sears Tower observation deck in Chicago on a rainy day, it looks pretty awesome (scary at the same time, but mostly awesome).

“Two visitors stand, looking like something out of a Chris Van Allsburg book, in the new Ledge observation deck, which juts out of the 103rd story of Chicago’s Sears Tower. That’s 1,353 feet up. Image via Getty” –Gawker

John Legend: Evolver – Live @ Lunario, Mexico City 06/09/09

Luis Acoltzi | June 11, 2009

John Legend gave a concert in Mexico City 2 days ago, for the benefit of an association called Casa de la Amistad, A.C., they help Mexican children and teenagers who suffer from cancer by giving them medicine, moral and psychologic support, education and a place to stay at.

Picture 2

I was really lucky to be there, the tickets sold out a couple days after the concert was announced and it was limited to around 400 people. As many of you may know, I’m a huge John Legend fan. I do have all of his records, DVDs, etc. and know the lyrics to most of his songs. I HAD TO BE THERE.

The concert’s experience was just fantastic. It was a really short set, only 6 songs and Noel Schajris (who was part of a Mexican/Colombian duet called “Sin Bandera”) also performed.

The setlist was like this:

  1. Green Light
  2. Save Room
  3. Good Morning
  4. Everybody Knows
  5. Ordinary People
  6. No Importa (ft. Noel Schajris)

As a special note, it was the first time No Importa was performed live, as it’ll be featured in Noel’s upcoming debut album as a solo artist. As the hardcore John Legend fan I am, I had to film the whole thing. So here are the videos for you to watch the whole concert. Don’t forget to rate them and feel free to share all of them. LuisAcoltzi.com Exclusive!. Enjoy!

EPCOT

Luis Acoltzi | May 8, 2009

It was 1966. Two years before Walt Disney’s death. He had a master plan for Florida Project. As we know, he had gotten a huge amount of land in Florida, that’s actually twice the size of Manhattan, and he was creating a new project around there. He was making plans for EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community Of The Future, which was kind of a big deal as it looked like an awesome project… which turned out to be another theme park after he died… So check out the video, I think it’s pretty awesome.

Keane 3D in HD

Luis Acoltzi | May 7, 2009

Remember those Hannah Montana 3D glasses you got for free at Walmart? You better not get rid of them as they’ll be useful for you guys to watch Keane 3D, now in HD (way better than the original webcast). Keane’s “Perfect Symmetry” was one of the best releases of 2008, and they’re totally worth watching in 3D live from Abbey Road. Just click play on the video, put it fullscreen, enable HD and enjoy the show!

The future of pizza

Luis Acoltzi | April 29, 2009

So @vega_ska posted this on twitter and I found it pretty interesting. This new pizza box turns into plates and a storage box once it’s used, letting it be recycled and used for more things than just a pizza box. Green Box. Check it out by yourselves:

I need these!

Luis Acoltzi |

These are L.A.-Based brand Grey Ant’s Black Status Sunglasses, based in the whole nerd-glasses phenomenon, and i think they look totally awesome. They’re black tinted and are now available over at OakNYC.com for $260USD. A bit pricey, but worth it. Weather’s getting a bit warmer down here in Mexico right now, so they might be useful lol/

You can get them right here.

First solar energy cell phone

Luis Acoltzi |

sharp-solarSharp is about to release the first solar energy cell phone in Japan for KDDI. The solar panel lets it charge up to 80% of it’s battery, for every 10 minutes of charging, you can talk for up to a minute or keep it turned on in batt saving mode for 2 hours. It’s more water resistant according to Sharp. Sounds as a good idea for me!
