So I was skating by myself the other day at my usual “skate by myself” spot and noticed a nice smooth curb cut that was there that I never noticed before. Instead of wasting my time trying manual tricks that I wasn’t going to land, I decided to push really fast at the curb cut and see how far I could go. Turns out I should have been doing this everytime I went to this spot cuz going fast and jumping is a lot more fun than dumb manuals.

New clip from my weekend with Matt up too. Matt, have you checked out the site yet? Ha, I think that clip shows my lens scratch worse than any other clip I have. Later dudes.

Matt came to visit me this weekend and we skated too much. It was super hot out both days but we landed a trick or two. God, I look more and more aweful on a skateboard every year. At least this time I can blame it on my board being backwords. Anyway, maybe another Matt clip tomorrow.

First two-color look for the site. Blue and brown, so hot right now!!!

New pics here. New video clip here. Look at ‘em, watch ‘em, laugh at their lameness.

Yo Panther, how can I make the hover affect in the navigation bar work in Internet Explorer? Not that anyone should be using IE anyway. While I’m on that topic, if anyone reading this is still using Internet Explorer, do yourself a favor and download Firefox or else buy a Mac and use Safari. You won’t regret either of those moves.

Gonna watch Hotel Rwanda now. Supposed to be a good one.

Paul’s got bugs. I’ve got ants.

The Official Squirrel Titties Montage is now up in the movies section. Here’s some tidbits of information about the montage:

• all the footage is about 1 to 2 years old
• my steadyshot was on for every fisheye shot (hence the bouncing vignetting)
• the music is Blondie “Heart of Glass”
• i filmed 40% of my own footage because my friends can’t hold a camera still
• order of stick riders: Schuyler Gantert, Julian Twin, Tony Cappadonna, Ryan Warful, Feng, Jason Bucki, Zach Koss, Matt Athonabuttafuco, MFB
• it will be at least 4 months before i collect enough footage to make another montage so enjoy this fucker

Well that was fun. Anyway, the new iTunes is out now and it supports podcasts. If it weren’t for podcasts, i honestly don’t know how i would make it through a single day at work. Most of the popular podcasts are kinda lame but there are definately some keepers. Here’s a few podcasts that help me get through my shitty office job:

• Free Talk Live - This one is my favorite. Its a couple of Libertarian dudes bitching about politics six nights a week. Before i discovered this podcast, i really had no clue what Libertarianism was or what they stood for but after listening to these guys for a day or two, i don’t know how anyone could not feel that this is the way to go.
• MacCast - This guy seriously loves Macs. He is such a geek but you can’t help but love him.
• Dailysonic mp3 Zine - This is a tri-weekly podcast outta New York i think. They talk about the news, review good music, and have a funny ass cartoon called “Fuck You Robot”.
• Skinny on Sports - As you can guess, this one is a sports podcast. If you don’t like sports, you won’t like this one. Der. Its a weekly podcast by two brothers and they keep it short (10 min) and sweet. Ah yeah, their intro loop is good too.

If you have an mp3 player and dig talk radio, check those bitches out. Huh, i just did a review of podcasting and i didn’t even mean to. Shit i can’t even remember what i was gonna write about.
