MOST FAMOUS.

nrf-allstar-2011

It’s always a great experience going to the World’s Most Famous Arena, let alone PLAYING in it. Last friday I was one of the lucky few who got to do just that. Blessed with team sneakers, jerseys, track suits, and tees from Nike, it was Uptown vs. Downtown in the annual NRF all-star game. It was a close game and I’m sure everybody involved had a great time. The only thing missing was Spike Lee yelling courtside. (Thanks NRF!)

SPORTHOCKER?!

I wanted to write something clever and sassy about this video, but I still can’t work out how and why this “sport” exists. Hailing from my so-called-home, Germany, I present to thee, the “Sporthocker”. It features landscapes of Berlin, maybe that makes it cooler….

P.S. Hocker in German, means “stool”, thus Sporthocker, means sport-stool. That’s right, sport, stool.

GUIDEGUIDE.

Do you use Photoshop? Here’s some “GUIDE”ance… Check out GUIDEGUIDE Created by Cameron McEfee. It’s a panel where you can easily create grids and find a center point of the photo/file. I’m really glad I found this. Check it out and add it to your arsenal of photoshop tools.
