Not sure why there’s so much Williamsburg because he lives in Fort Greene…

High Fidelity
This is a week old, but amazing nonetheless: Atlanta-based prop designer Harrison Krix spent 17 months crafting the helmet that Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo dons to become one half of Daft Punk.
Truly brilliant.
Homem-Christo also recorded as Le Knight Club in the late 90’s:

About Damn Time
The most obscenely hipster shit ever:
via Brooklyn Vegan, as always…
Plus: PS1’s Warm Up lineup (finally) announced, also pretty decent as far as I’m concerned…

The Creators Projection
Intel × Vice’s recently-launched Creators Project feels a bit contrived on premise—i.e., a tech titan’s attempt to co-opt the cool—but the production value and content is really quite good. In fact, it’s just as well that Vice/VBS.tv gets a shit-ton money from a corpulent corporation with cash to spare; hence, the (free) star-studded NYC launch party. (It’s already sold out, but I’m going out of town that weekend anyway… speaking of which, I’m going to be out of town this weekend as well, so let’s just say that June’s editorial calendar will be a little leaner than usual.)
James Powderly (above) may be an engineering whiz, but Brock Davis is pure pop fun:

Obligatory World Cup Post
*If you can’t tell, the images are mostly unrelated to the text
Ridiculously amazing photos of WC2010 buildup on Boston.com's Big Picture
- (UPDATE) First things first: The World Cup, Translated into American.
- Slate has the scoop on the secret history of American soccer in the first quarter of the last century (i.e.,the Roaring Twenties), featuring the Boston Wonder Workers, the Brooklyn Wanderers, and, of course, the infamous Fall River Marksmen.
- Even the New Republic has a soccer blog, where you can find gems such as Tom Vanderbilt’s on-point “Meditation on Loyalty.”
I hope I encounter this in real life at some point in the next month...
