    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…

    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…

    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,…

    Next Monday and Tuesday evening, I will be covering the Cargo fashion art and music trade show for SoJones. I’m pretty excited about it.

    Reagan and I, have on occasion had discussions regarding the integrity of retailers (lifestyle pushers) like Urban Outfitters. My argument is that, by providing all of those reproduced “vintage” (FYI, I hate the term vintage) tees, etc., in one location, and charging a ton of money for them, Urban Outfitters has effectively taken away everything…

    It seems like with each passing year, the lines become more blurred on when one season starts and another begins. I used to think that it was absolutely preposterous when places would get all decked out with Christmas garb before Thanksgiving. Actually, I still kind of think that. Anyway, these days some places will shamelessly…

    For those who have seen my previous rants about people and the way they wield their massive umbrellas on crowded sidewalks, they may already know how annoyed I can get while commuting on rainy days, like today. But, check this out. I was minding my own business, and a magical idea came across one of…

    This weekend ended up being a lot better than I had initially anticipated. There was, of course the race on Saturday morning, which I was expecting to be the highlight of my weekend. I thought this because I was expecting to have to work, for the rest of the weekend. I did spend Saturday afternoon,…
