Kicks Anthology: Air Jordan 11 Retro
Added one more box to my Kicks Anthology. This one is the classic Air Jordan 11 Retro, black and varsity red colorway. This shoe meant business on the court!
Skynet is Now Active!
Otherwise how do you explain the two big upsets this week on Dancing with the Stars and American Idol? Skynet has got to be messing with the voting system for both shows, screwing over Gilles Marini and Adam Lambert.
What other explanation can there be? Can’t be human fears of xenophobia or homophobia, can it?
reCAPTCHA Protection
Interesting. I disabled the WordPress plugin, reCAPTCHA, for one day and in that time, get 10 new user registrations on this site. Probably bogus accounts for spamming. Sorry but looks like I’m reactivating the protection of reCAPTCHA.
A (Limited) Twitter Tee Deal
I’ve been fiending a Valdezign Twitter shirt for some time, and now these Threadless Twitter tees got me a flitter. In the ways of Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, how can we think win-win and synergize some creative cooperation?
How about this? I have a few Twitter tee submissions, and it would be absolutely cool if one of these became a shirt. And here’s where I need help and the win-win proposition comes in. For my fellow “Warriors,” how about voting for one of my Twitter tee submissions (probably this one) and getting your followers to vote as well? I’m talking to you:
- @ktcat
- @teejaygee
- @ryankanno
- @pickinmachine
- @glycerine
- @abaggy
- @chris_blaine
- @garykoch
- @kauwek2
If my submission wins, I’ll buy you either a Threadless Twitter tee or a Twitter name shirt from Valdezign. Sound good? Place your vote!
Wall Street Journal Talks “Twuating” (Sorta)
The Wall Street Journal has an article about owning your personal name on social media sites such as LinkedIn, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter. What they’re really talking about is twuating. 😉
Twitter Tees by Threadless
While I haven’t yet bought a shirt from Threadless, I might have to give in with their latest launch. Check out their custom Twitter tees based on user submitted tweets from Twitter. Users submit and vote on tweets, and each week, two tweets will become Threadless shirt creations.
If that ain’t cool enough, if your tweet is picked, you’ll receive $500 ($360 in cash and $140 in Threadless credit).
To see how this works, vote for my first submission by clicking here (so I have no shame, so what?). You can also tweet this submission or share it on Facebook and other sites.
Cool idea all around. Nice, @threadless.

It Takes a Man to Talk Manscaping and Mankinis
It surely takes a man secure in his own masculinity to discuss the topics of manscaping and mankinis. No, not me! Danny Wood of NKOTB, you are that man.
I guess if you can still draw in thousands of females, no one can doubt your manscaping ways.
BTW, thanks to John Mayer for modeling the Borat-inspired mankini.
Dancing with the Stars Finals
So who do you think will win the mirror ball trophy as the Season 8 champion of Dancing with the Stars? Here’s the “group” paso doble for a side-by-side comparison of all the dancers (in HD no less!!).
My votes went to Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke. Of the DWTS finalists, the expectation and anticipation level for this couple outshines the others. Balanced choreography is the trademark of Cheryl Burke who could be the first three time DWTS champion. Need to watch tonight to find out.
