Clae’s are back after a brief hiatus and available at boutique shops like Reed Space in NYC and Arrive in Miami. I still have my Langstons looking so fresh and so clean after all these years. For those that don’t know about Clae, give them a look because their silhouettes are timeless and definitely a good look for those wanting to rock sporty leisure attire. As for materials, you can find them in full grain leather or cruelty-free hemp.

Perhaps you want to go mobile with your existing service and distribute your content on Nokia devices? Take your shot.
Today, Nintendo announced a new Wii Peripheral, which resembles a step-pad type device. The step-pad device allows you to do sit-ups, push-ups, jump rope, and other aerobic exercises if you own the Wii Fit game. Amazingly, the game will monitor your health rating and provide mini-games to get slimmed down and toned. The device can even calculate your weight or body mass index. Dope stuff indeed.

Excuse the brief interruption with this Powerpoint presentation, but I definitely have mobile banking on my mind these days. I just downloaded the Citibank Mobile application for my cell phone and I absolutely love how well the application works. I was pleasantly surprised by how much functionality was accessible from my device. ALL of my account information from checking to savings to investments was easily accessible from the device. Hopefully, the security on this service is airtight because users can also make payments and money transfers directly from the application. This is definitely something to keep track of and another great product/service that is feeding into the ‘always-on, always-connected’ consumer. Booyah.
