$15 for NBA-Quality Kicks
That’s the goal of NBA guard, Stephon Marbury, of the NY Knicks. Stephon’s doing his own thing, forgoing kicks powerhouses like Nike, adidas, and And1. Teaming with Steve and Barrys, Stephon has his own shoe line called the Starbury that sells for only $15.
Seems like the fans are taking notice, clearing out the Steve and Barry’s store in New York of all Starburys.
Dontrelle High Dunks Confirmed
The black and ice blue Dunk Highs talked about earlier will in fact be those representing Dontrelle Willis in Nike’s Collection Royale series.
Probably the best looking pair of kicks in the collection. Supposedly only available at niketown.com on October 9 for $90. These will sell out.
Drunk Kelly Clarkson Rocking Out
What happens when a drunk American Idol goes to a Metal Skool concert? She rocks out on stage with the band singing the GNR classic, Sweet Child O’ Mine.
Just an FYI, some swearing and antics in the video, but probably stuff Wayne’s World saw at the Black Eyed Peas concert.

Foreign Relations at Work
At work, one of our guys came by and said they needed help getting a video projector to work. A foreign VIP was going to be presenting something, and they wanted to practice their PowerPoint slides. Okay, simple enough. So I began messing with the PC that was missing some hardware. I guess the VIP and his aide were anxious to get going so instead of waiting for me to fix the PC connected to the projector, they told me to hook up their laptop to the projector. Okay fine. So I connect it, and everyone in the room sees the projected PowerPoint presentation.
Now the aide asks why can’t he see the slides on his laptop screen and on the projector. He insists his laptop supports dual video so it should be working. Okay fine, so I figure I have to go to the Display properties in XP and check out the video settings (I normally do that by right clicking on the desktop and doing Properties). As the people start to file in for his presentation, I minimize his PowerPoint presentation to get to the desktop then lo and behold! As his wallpaper, this VIP or his aide has a picture of some hottie wearing something slinky with cleavage busting out. Ha! I hear someone (I think the VIP) mumbling something like she’s a very famous actress in his country.
Yeah, right.
Mad Kicks
Some mad looking kicks I saw on the Net. Air Max 95 from the Rejuvenation Pack. Another green shoe and check out the detailing.
A possible mixup in Nike’s Collection Royale series of shoes is the high top version of Dontrelle Willis’ Dunk Highs. A Team Red colorway is now available, but this version does these kicks proper!
I’m sure the lighting, especially in the sole area is very exaggerated, but still nice. Very Diamond Dunk-like.
New Version of Blogger
Google’s free blogging service, Blogger, is getting some neat new upgrades. The upgraded service is still in beta and isn’t available yet to all Blogger users.
Some of the new features include access controls, labels (aka categories), and a new web page layout mechanism.
All users will slowly migrate over to the new version of Blogger, but you can apply for a new Blogger Beta account if you can’t wait.
Hour 8
Mind and body is shutting down. Ouch, a headache is coming on. Sarah McLachlan’s Adia is playing.
Hour 7
Wow, Wayne’s World is a late-night blogger. Doing some catchup work and email. Good thing I brought my toothbrush.
Hour 5
Still nursing my Triple Espresso. Typical user problems. Hey, 24-hour support is actually available. “Who’s on first” with our site?
