‘I’m Kid Rock, What’s Your Excuse?’ Book by Jeremy Deputat | IamJuanC

Not everyone gets to see the behind-the-scene debauchery-laden lifestyle that Kid Rock‘s renowned for, but now thanks to Detroit photographer Jeremy Deputat – and furthermore Kid Rock for allowing him the access-all-areas photo pass – we get a glimpse, a detailed one if you will, of the iconic rock star living up to his “born free” motto on the road. “Shoot everything, edit nothing, I’m not scared!” was what Rock told Deputat when asked upon photo restrictions. Deputat shot over 25,000 photographs during his summer 2011 tour, displaying the many facets of tour life, from sound-check to whiskey-fueled after parties and everything in between. The 176-page 12″ by 12″ hardcover tome also sees cameo features from Sean Penn, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Gibby Haynes et al. Having shot an array of hip-hop figures such as 50 Cent, Eminem, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre and The Game as well as Danny Brown, Mayer Hawthorne and Peanut Butter Wolf, this will be Deputat’s first published book. I’m Kid Rock, What’s Your Excuse? is now available from Jeremy Deputat’s online store.

Ferrari California 30 Giappone | IamJuanC

Recently announced by Ferrari is a special Japanese release for the California 30, dubbed the California 30 Giappone. Set to make its debut at the Suzuka Circuit for the 2013 Ferrari Legend Days event from April 19 through April 21, the limited edition vehicle pays homage to the 25-year anniversary of the Italian manufacturer’s first Formula One Japanese Grand Prix victory – which also, fittingly, took place at the Suzuka Circuit. Sporting a matte white Bianco Italia paint scheme with a contrasting black roof, the vehicle is marked by a bold red leather interior. Furthermore, additional premium details include a 599 GTO-inspired front grill, diamond-finished aluminum alloy wheels, and carbon fiber hits to the front and rear spoilers, door handles, and fuel cap. Finally, the Japanese flag and a commemorative plate are mounted on the center console. Limited to just 10 production models, the Ferrari California 30 Giappone will be available following this year’s Legend Days event.

Rumor: Apple to Unveil its Long-Awaited Gaming Controller sometime this month | IamJuanC

With Apple‘s dominant array of technology devices, it’s not unfathomable to speculate on the brand’s foray into a previously untapped, though sizable niche: gaming. While Microsoft has a long-running, successful stake in the market, TechCrunch reports that Apple has been meeting with developers at this year’s Game Developers Conference to bring an Apple game controller to the market. While its existence is yet to be officially confirmed, beefed up patent submissions for D-pad controllers, Apple’s existing mediums for gameplay (i.e. iPhone, iPad and iPod), and a tip-off from AnandTech‘s editors all signal the controller’s existence. Apple is set to host an iPad-focused conference later in April, and the device is speculated to be a main talking point. Be on the lookout for more updates in the coming weeks.
