    I know that the weekend isn’t even over yet. But I just thought that I would let everyone know that Piper is still doing awesome, and as cute as ever. We had a really good time with her today. She didn’t even puke once. They had just switched her from trache collar back to the…

    Friday night, I was in Central Park shooting this race, when I passed by the croquet garden near Sheep’s Meadow. There was this dude out there playing all by himself. Just practicing his shot, I guess. Anyway, I stopped and talked to him for a while (after sneaking a few shots of him). It turns…

    There was a great section in this month’s issue of Wired, called “How to Behave: New Rules for Highly Evolved Humans.” The article discusses all types of tech related etiquette, like texting during parties, leaving your handheld on the bar, etc.. But, my favorite is the one about the bluetooth headsets. Thank you thank you…

    Building plastic models of airplanes and cars was one of my favorite hobbies as a young lad. I’m sure that it was for a lot of kids. I was especially stoked, if the model had some sort of functionality. Like if the propeller could turn, on the plane I was building. Or, in the case…

    The first one caught my eye because it is about a guy who lives in a cave in Moab. It’s called “Could you survive without money? Meet the guy who does.” It was in the latest issue of Details. It is basically about a guy named Daniel Suelo who used to be a college professor…

    I had a blast hanging out with the guys from Rich Yung, Triple 5 Soul, e.5.Charlie, and the Cargo guys, for the past two evenings at the Cargo show. SoJones got me hooked up with press credentials, and the Cargo guys really treated me right. The music was awesome, both yesterday with DJ Camilo, and…

    Taking it back to the garage band revival, again this week with The Vines. I love these guys, bad. The Vines, hail from from the land down under. Which is kind of cool, considering that I can only think of 3 other Aussie bands that made it big. (although I’m sure there are many more).…

    Alright, so I’m sure that everyone has seen this photo of Pharrell and Nigo, by now. It is from the recent opening of the Bape store in London. It was posted on about 1000 blogs. In just about every single one of those, people are killing Pharrell in the comments, for wearing that hat. Ok,…

    I received an email from the Beastie Boys this afternoon, with “Houston, we have a problem” in the subject line. In the email was a link to the video below, of MCA announcing that they are cancelling their upcoming shows and the new album release because they discovered that he has cancer in one of…

    When we showed up at Piper’s house today, she was snoozing away. She slept for about 2 hours. We finally woke her up to give her a bath, and she was not too happy. Once we got her all cleaned up and stuff, she mellowed out a bit. When I was holding her, she decided…
