Hey everyone.
Wanted to let you all know that you'll notice a slight decrease in my posting frequency over the next week or so because I am doing full time web development for my local bike shop, Momentum Sports.
Check out my work!

Paris Hilton Tee Roundup
She may be dumb, she may be a bit of a whore, but there is no denying her popularity and success as a celebrity. Plus she likes to party, and I fully support that. So I've decided to do a roundup of a few Paris Hilton Tee Shirts that I've found around the Internet.
The Paris Hilton Color Block Tee  | Paris Hilton Face Tee |
Striped Paris Hilton Tee | Paris Hilton Boot Tee |
Paris Hilton's big face on a tee, over some bright colors...you want that? Oh you wanted her face in green or behind some pink stripes? Yeah I found those too. Hell, I even found Paris in some fishnets wearing stripper boots. Best of all, these are available now for $34.50.
The Glow Tee by Imaginary Foundation
Smoke and Mirrors Tee by The Loots
The Loots is a new brand being carried at Karmaloop, they are making some pretty great stuff. This tee pictured here is the Smoke and Mirrors tee, featuring a foil print on a dank looking pale blue shirt. Pretty big print on the sleeve too, this is a definite must have for back to school. Available now for $30 with free shipping!
Cease Sneakers by Gourmet
Robin's Egg Blue used to be the steeziest color around. In the 70's just about every guy owned a nice suit that sported the color of the times. Well Gourmet is brining it back. These canvas kicks with a mesh inner are one of the highest quality pairs of shoes you can find. If it wasn't for the robin's egg blue I'd even say you could wear them with a suit. Available now for $125.
Stiloso Headphones by Boosted
Boosted is the fashion and style segment of the popular cell phone provider, Boost Mobile. These phones come with an adapter to fit your iPhone, and another to fit most cell phones with the small 1.4" jack. Add that functionality to the classic look of these Stiloso Headphones and you have what I think is the best looking headphone on the market today. Available now for $48.

A Fresh Breath: Back to School Edition
Summer has come and is nearly gone, for many this means going back to school. A place that is not loved by us that enjoy the lazy days summer. We all see it as a necessary step of life but never really take the time to question why. We see it as a benefit to our lives, but never step back to see the positive effects it has on us. I speak from the deepest levels of my personal feeling when I say this, I believe the academic part of my school life to have been completely worthless.
I graduated from my high school in 2004, and every year that has passed I see more and more how the experiences I had with my friends in those years have molded me into a person I am proud to be today. I wasn't a bad student, but the restrictive nature of a public education just isn't something I can look back on and feel proud of. What I can feel proud of is the adversity I have overcome by constantly challenging convention. Learning to convince teachers it wasn't I who had swore, or cops it wasn't me who was drunk may have not been the best thing for my life at the time. But in all honesty, if I wasn't forced into those situations in my teenage years I would not be able to manage the adversity life throws at me on a daily basis nearly as well today.
The purpose of this short article is two fold. The first is to let my readers know that I'm not some machine finding cool products and writing about them. I'm a person just like you. I've had run ins with the cops, I've gotten hammer drunk, and I've woken up not knowing where I was more times than you could believe.
The second, and most important reason, is that if you live your life honestly with yourself you'll do ok in the end. Doing well in school is just one of many routes to success. Live life within your limits, but constantly push those limits to expand your horizons. You don't need to answer to your parents in the end, you don't need to answer to your teachers, you don't need to answer to god, you need to answer to yourself. If you live your life truly believing this, you will live a very, very full life.
Be true. Be Good. Be Happy.

8 Best Skateboard Wheel Companies
Not only is creativity shown through skateboard deck designs, but its also displayed through other parts as well, like the wheel.
Skateboard wheels are commonly made from polyurethane and come in many different shapes and sizes due to the different types of skating. Smaller wheels (48-54 mm) keep the board closer to the ground and allow street skaters to pull off tricks easier. Larger wheels (65-90 mm) roll faster which is perfect for vert skaters. Design is also important because it adds a sense of individuality to a skater.
The following is a list of 8 companies that have taken skateboard wheel designs to a whole new level.
Almost Skateboard Wheels
Chocolate Skateboard Wheels
Darkstar Skateboard Wheels
Enjoi Skateboard Wheels
Filmore Skateboard Wheels
Gold Skateboard Wheels
Mystery Skateboard Wheels
Spitfire Skateboard Wheels
Which company do you think makes the best skateboard wheel designs? Are there any other companies you know of that should have been mentioned? Please note that this is not a top 8 list. Instead it highlights the work skateboarding companies have done!
So, what is organic anyway?
Organic means products that have been grown without pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers, and have been processed without additives (if they need any processing at all). If the word is applied to meat or dairy products, it means that the animals involved have been fed organic food, and have not been given antibiotics or growth hormones. The Wikipedia entry on organic food is quite good.
There are many environmental benefits to growing crops and raising animals this way:
- it reduces pollution: organic farms don’t release pesticides and herbicides into our soil and waterways, where they can harm animals (including us!) or accumulate over the years.
- it creates healthier eco-systems, as organic farming methods allow a more diverse population of insects, small animals, and non-crop plants, when compared to the monoculture you get when you spray chemicals intended to kill any plants and animals except the crop.
- it’s a less energy-intensive method, with less need for processing and packaging for chemicals.
- it reduces our reliance on fossil-fuels by using natural fertilizers, since artificial fertilizers are petroleum-based.
The jury still seems to be out on whether there are any health benefits to eating organic food. It’s the kind of research that will take decades, as we wait to see long-term effects on people, but so far the results look good. A large study by the European Union showed that organic foods had larger quantities of anti-oxidants and other micro-nutrients. Personally, I prefer to reduce the amount of pesticides going into and onto my body wherever possible. With clothes the cotton is actually a higher quality softer fiber, that's just a fact. My philosophy is if you can do better, then why not?
