Aether Apparel is a brand focused in functional outdoorsman clothes with a sleek minimal aesthetic. At this years NYC Pop up Flea I got to see some of their stuff in person and was really impressed: high tech fabrics, high functionality, smart pocket placement (crucial for good outerwear), minimal branding, all the things that make a brand great. Featured above is the stormy Jacket which you can get for $495 here or in one of their flagship stores located in LA, NY and SF.
One of the my favorite properties in the west village is a combination of 2 unique things: An amazing building on a street with little foot traffic. Minetta lane is more like a quiet alleyway in between Macdougal St. and a bustling intersection on 6th avenue. Minetta lane has no businesses, and not many homes making it somewhat of a relaxing oasis that often goes unnoticed. Recently architect Adam Kushner purchased 16 Minetta Lane and 10 months later Kushner has decided his new home / passion project will be the first 3D printed home in NYC.
An undetermined amount of years ago a brook supposedly ran thru this property, which has given Kushner the inspiration to incorporate a waterfall and climbing wall into his new design. Although the facade of the building might remain classic in structure, I'm sure anyone who's lucky enough to get a peek inside will be surely impressed.
IBM has announced an enormous power move this spring by rounding up 200 of the brightest and most forward thinking professionals to launch the Watson group. Ultimately Watson technology will harness an artificial intelligence technology that will cross reference algorithms while scraping data from the internet and optimizing results for you. Watson is focused on bringing healthcare into the future, as well as finance, business and research.
Located at their new headquarters at 51 Astor place, Watson and IBM are official residents of what's now known as "Silicon Alley", the newest phrase for the increased technology company presence in NYC.
So if I we're searching for a person named "tom smith" that i grew up with, Watson would know which answers to eliminate while google wouldn't? Sounds exciting. Welcome to the future.
