Pants Challenge Response!

Alan and Mo, collectively known as Project Tandem, along with Workshops friend John Barduhn have posted a Pants Challenge Response on Vimeo. I am very impressed. At the end of their video, they call me out to come up with another challenge. Time and time again Alan and Mo have proven that they can bike [...]

Clothing

Thanks mostly to my mother, I have exactly enough socks to make it through one month. Oddly enough though, I am constantly washing them and wearing dirty pairs.

5 Hot Trends I Can Guarantee for ’09

5. Awful Green Reality TV – FOX, listen up: A group of young eco-conscious, vegans living together. They compost, they use CFL bulbs, and they conserve water by never showering.

WhatSize

If you’re like me when it comes to computers, you should download WhatSize. It’s a freeware application that looks at your hard drive and tells you where the biggest files and folders are. This is really helpful when trying to figure out what should be moved to an external hard drive.

NW Dog Situation

Ashlinn found a dog yesterday in Portland. She posted a Found ad on Craigslist. The dog is very friendly and has already learned how to sit and lay down. Ashlinn thinks it doesn’t know English. If you know someone who lost a dog that matches this one, please give her a call!

BrickCon ’08 Update

I couldn’t find my camera to import the photos I took, until now, so here they are. That last one was clearly not made out of Lego, but a real BRICKHEAD must have been driving! [...]

Top 5 Reasons LOST is Better Than Fringe

1. LOST has a contingency plan: If you need a character to do or feel something, just throw in a flashback. I’m not saying they invent stuff just to save their asses, but they’ve always got the option. Fringe characters are two dimensional, and haven’t progressed since episode one.

University of California, Irvine

UCI is probably best known as the second youngest California university and the educational epicenter of Orange County. Others may know it more for having amazing skatespots. It is home to many stylized ledges and park quality handrails with large amounts of run up and pristine concrete. The best example of the skating is in [...]
