As cynical as it sounds, I rarely find anything inspiring on the Internet nowadays. There is plenty of great content out there but in my life experiences, the truly moving and inspiring creations require either a big screen and buttery popcorn, a lot of black and orange, or in-person conversation that cannot be felt through [...]
I’ve now been in New York for a little over a month. I’d like to say that the lack of blog posts is just me slacking and enjoying the city and new people I’ve been meeting but reality is, I haven’t even met the people I intended to meet long before deciding to move here. It [...]
My life has been nothing short of f*cking amazing lately!!! With that amazing comes a lack of sleep and loads of stress, not to mention a lack of time and lack of blog updates. I pushed myself beyond my limit today and decided that I’d take some time to slow down and ramble a bit [...]
If you’re into technology at all you may have heard of Marc Andreessen. Mosaic, Netscape, Loudcloud and Ning are just a few of the technology companies that he’s founded, co-founded or been a part of. My Dad sent me this interview with Charlie Rose, who in my opinion is one of the best interviewers around today. [...]
Facebook goes public today in one of the most anticipated business events in the last, um, forever? According to Forbes, the stock will sell at $38 per share, making the value of the company around $104 Billion. Pretty crazy, especially considering that even Facebook admits to not knowing how to consistently monetize the views of [...]
Outlier makes some pretty cool stuff for the active urban commuter but the story on how they began from co-founder Abe Burmeister is even cooler. It just goes to show how passion can take you from an idea to owning your own company. If you ever have thought about owning your own business, take 15 [...]
Once again I have failed to be on the cutting edge of cool. I missed out on the Supreme SB Dunks and the opening of the new Dark Knight Rises. I came across this picture on Mashable last night and had to share it. Although, this morning’s news of the shooting in Colorado has put [...]
Between Twitter and Instagram (among a list of others), the hashtag (#) has become a big part of social media and how we interact on a daily basis. Many of my daily conversations on BBM or through text messaging are littered with the usage of the hashtag, mostly for comical purposes but it’s interesting to [...]
I have an unhealthy obsession for office space. Odd for someone who has spent most of my life trying to free myself from any ties to an “office” that doesn’t come with a handful of baristas and a lot of foot traffic. I’ll be creating an office space of some kind this year and I [...]
Image courtesy of ESPN Chicago Recently there has been a lot of animosity between supporters of adidas and supporters of Nike in the sneaker community. With Derrick Rose’s recent injury, followed shortly after by Iman Shumpert, it was as if supporters and employees of The Swoosh were handed a bottle of lighter fluid while sitting [...]
Just a sneak peek at some of the new Player Exclusives I recently picked up, more photos coming soon.
How in the world do Michael Beasley adidas PE’s and a lawsuit end up with Allen Iverson returning to the NBA?
Check your sources. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve seen me say this at least 6 gajillion and two times. It’s relevant in every aspect of life but it’s even more important in today’s world, where a single retweet of less than 140 characters can be taken and turned into a matter of fact [...]
The only thing that’s certain in life is death and taxes…and the Yankees being in the mix when it comes to late season baseball. Last night the Bronx Bombers got clawed out of the postseason by a bunch of eager and hungry Tigers from Detroit. Though I’d like to say that lack of enthusiasm from [...]
If you’re a sports fanatic like myself, you probably have found yourself digging through random websites researching stats from the past for a story, or just because, well, it sounded like an enjoyable Friday evening. This year the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox both fell victim to their own demise, and as a matter [...]
It’s been a while since I rambled about absolutely nothing relevant to any of the couple thousand of you that somehow end up here every week, so now is the time. The 49ers just lost the Super Bowl (or Superbowl for you creative SEO types) and I’m about as frustrated as a man can be. [...]
I’m the big asshole. I didn’t vote. You read that clearly. I did not vote. It wasn’t intentional, between moving from LA back to Sacramento and then across the country to start a new job, I just had more important things to me in my personal life. Between getting things situated for me to be removed [...]
Wait a minute, strike that, reverse it. In the words of the great E40, I been so busy I ain’t had time to eat a fortune cookie. Lots of posts coming in the near future, some old news, some ranting, some amazing, some average, one thing that sums up how I feel at the moment [...]
Heart so pure no mask could hide, the broken heart behind the painted eyes, feathers falling, wings broken from a past so troubled, she wears a disguise. Hiding perfect imperfections, indelible marks on the soul, the beautiful transparency of scars that have taken their toll. Armor that cannot be pierced, not even with words of [...]
I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to figure out how to avoid the stereotypical “American Way” and its 9-5 work hours. I don’t function efficiently during those hours, no matter how much I am paid or how much I convince myself I can, it just doesn’t happen. Instead, my “commute” has been altered [...]
I follow a lot of people on Twitter and filtering through the negativity to find something positive can be quite challenging at times. Not that the people I follow are bad in any way, it’s just a form of venting and I can understand that. We all have our bad days but it seems that [...]
Seeing things from someone else’s perspective is probably the one single thing that is challenging to all people. Everyone, myself included, probably thinks they are able to see things from another’s point of view. I’d say that most people are capable of seeing another’s perspective with an asterisk. The asterisk meaning, as long as there isn’t [...]
