This post is probably a lot more pro skiing-ski scene information than my average regular reader is going to be interested in. Then again, I don’t think I have many ‘average’ readers left, so there. And, even though the subject of this post is skiing, the theme is irony, which is something anyone can relate [...]
Spin magazine has gone full bore into the shitter. The print version has anyway. I didn’t need any more than one issue of their updated layout that came out this summer to know I didn’t want any part of it any longer. It read more like a freebee you’d find at Urban Outfitters than a [...]

The series, 5 Months to Freedom, chronicles their senior [...]

I wanted to write something about what I saw transpire in the men’s Wimbledon final yesterday but I’ve been having a tough time figuring out what to say. Posting a picture of Andy Roddick’s visage as he sat absorbing his loss after the 30th game of the 5th set (yes, 30th game; there are no [...]
Despite its overwhelming association with kitsch and hipsters, the mustache remains a very cool thing by my humble measure. It looks outstanding and harks back to a time that had a lot of qualities we probably wish we had more of in our modern world.
Here’s a little photo of one of my recent staches:

I’m a fan of Red Bull on Facebook and as such I get regular updates about what the different RB athletes are up to. Today I got a cool behind-the-scenes video from a recent promo visit Shaun White made to NYC. There’s an awesome setup at one of the photo shoots in which Shaun is [...]
