When it comes to skateboarding culture NYC kids only have the drug use part on smash.
The part where you actually get on the board and skate? Not so much.
Let the pros show you how to do this sonn.

September 16th, 2008Twitter: Fresh To Death…
September 16th, 2008
I’m not going to be surprised if the Federal investigators looking into the deadly commuter rail crash find that the train’s engineer was using his crackberry at the time of the accident. That Twitter site is straight crack-tacious with extra heron-osity. I don’t know what the eff I’m saying, but you know what the eff I’m saying.
Somebody please fucking kill my computer. I am becoming a social network crackwhore. I don’t know any of these people, but I find myself trolling through Facebook photo albums for hours. Its now 4am and I need to go to sleep so I can go to my dayjob with vampire blood red eyes and scare the shit out of my co-workers.
I look effin’ crazy and my brain feels like a lump of shit…
But I have to…
I need to…
I MUST…
Post just one more Twit.
The I.C. Turns Fifty…
September 15th, 2008
Not those i.C.’s but this I.C.
The integrated circuit turned 50 years old last week. If you ask me now methinks this was the watershed moment that led to America’s forced social integration. The truth is that integrated networks work more efficiently, and better efficiency means more productivity from the same number of work hours. Greater productivity means more profit. That shit is Capitalism 101.
Shouts to JACK KILLBY who was an intern at Texas Instruments when he developed the integrated circuit.
We could use that kind of resourceful intern here at DP Dot Com. I need someone to invent a laptop lotion dispenser for when I find myself “going in” while surfing the web. *NSFW*
SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

‘Mona Lisa’
NIKE can’t be defeated. Evar. First of all, they have aliens doing their R & D. Secondly they have the classic shoe catalog game OnSmash.
I am jocking a bunch of their mashups right now especially these joints that bring the O.G. Air Max 180 aquamarine colorway back like footcrack. The new hybrid shoe combines the Free footbed with the ACG Wildwood upper.
Two words = FYE and RAH.
JOHN BYRNE: The G.O.A.T. Comic Cover Artist
September 15th, 2008
I have much love and respect for JACK KIRBY, NEAL ADAMS, BILL SIENKIEWICZ, WALT SIMONSON, GEORGE PEREZ, DAVE COCKRUM, TODD MacFARLANE and FRANK MILLER because these men have inspired my love of art and my futurist persepctive. At the top of the pantheon though is JOHN BYRNE.
*Big up to Combat Jack for giving me a mint condition copy of The Art of John Byrne*
BYRNE’s art was definitely from outer space. Her perfected NEAL ADAMS hyper-realism so well I used to look inside the characters mouths to see the lines of their dentals. BYRNE’s details were no fucking joke. That’s why he is the greatest comic book artist of all time. His run on the X-Men title is legendary and there isn’t a character in the Marvel or DC universe that BYRNE hasn’t interpreted with his pencil.
I’m posting a few of my favorite covers in this drop and in the Blu Cheez image gallery, but if you have the time today please visit the Byrne Robotics image gallery and see fisrthand why I stan out for this artist.
