CNBC put together a nice documentary on the champion company Nike. Anyone involved in business (marketing, advertising, PR, sales, int'l, etc.), fashion, finance, culture, or just plain GETTING MONEY will definitely feel inspired & motivated after watching this. Nike head or not, to witness a company sprout from a simple idea to an icon is the true American dream. Can't knock the hustle!!! Purchase the DVD here.

Best song Ant-One played that caught everyone off guard? XXXplosive.
We had a good time; hopefully San Jo did too
We hit LaVic's after and Ed stole a bottle of the "special sauce." Poor guys probably get 5 bottles stolen a night after the club.
Stop wastin' dough on buying ringtones for your phone. Check out this site called Myxer.
I'm personally not the "music ringtone" type of person, preferring the old school sounding "nostalgic" telephone ring. Nonetheless, I wouldn't want you wasting away your hard earned and precious dollahs on that crap. (Even though it is another way of supporting an artist, as the ringtone business rakes in billions.) The site is legit and I've made a couple ringtones (If you haven't already heard my "Between The Sheets" ringtone) and they are just as good as the ones you pay $2.99 for. When I call you, can you make my ringtone "Sensual Seduction Remix:".Lil Kim's verse. (Lil' Kim KILLS it on the voicebox!)
This Monday hear resident DJs Sir Tipp, Eddie Ra$kel, Ant One, and Ruby Red-I spin tunes of Hip Hop's favorite record labels and their claim-to-fame music, as they compete against each other to prove who reigns supreme on the dancefloor!

Dammit! I didn't win any squares in my Super Bowl pool. I had a pretty good chance scoring good combos like a 3 & 4 and a 7 & 1.
Archie Manning must be a proud father. Imagine creating offspring of such champion caliber. The joy he must feel as a father witnessing two of his sons playing in a Super Bowl, and winning. He receives my vote for Man of the year. Way to raise 'em, Arch! Got Milk?
In the little known French city of Nantes, a veritable army of mechanical animals is quietly readying itself for the eventual takeover of Western Europe. Well, not really, but it certainly would be cool if the incredible man-made menagerie known as the MACHINES OF THE ISLE OF NANTES currently on display in the port city would rise up and take their rightful place at the top of the foodchain on land & sea. The brainchild of French artists FRANCOIS DELAROZIERE and PIERRE OREFICE, the Mechanical Animal project is an ongoing initiative that began in 2007 with the debut of a massive mobile elephant sculpture over 12 meters tall that can carry 45 puny human passengers on its back—who, in turn, can operate the animal’s trunk and trumpet call themselves—as it walks along city streets. The project’s second stage, a collection of interactive marine life that will populate a massive multi-story carousel, is currently being constructed with a projected debut date of summer 2009. Currently, the entire collection is housed in a beautiful turn-of-the-century warehouse that once served as the city’s shipbuilding hub and is open to the public for viewing daily. HAVE A LOOK:
This is an exhibit that probably would never hit the U.S. for many reasons. Seems like all the interesting things are somehow either banned, illegal, or are not thought up in America. I'm beginning to feel we're getting the short end of the deal here... Great. Election '08 is right around the corner; here comes more turmoil. I digress. Anyway... Great exhibit that I would LOVE to experience myself.
