It’s a good day for Volcom’s Vice President of Sales Tom Ruiz. As part of a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan Tom exercised 5,000 options of Volcom at $19 today and then immediately sold them off at approximately $49 netting himself a healthy profit of $150,000. Congrats, Tom.

Tony Hawk has had his name associated with some pretty whack stuff, however, this may top it all. Nicole Medica, 26, and her groom, Jeremy Farley, 29, were one of seven couples married on July 7, 2007 at 7:07 AM while riding Tony Hawk’s Big Spin roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis.
They had originally planned to marry on the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge Historic Site in Hillsboro Saturday evening until they heard about the “Thrilled Ever After” radio contest on 93.7 FM. “It just seems fun,” Medica said. “It’s definitely us–not conventional.”
Thanks, Tony.

The latest version of Apple’s PC vs. Mac TV ad (click to watch) features some suspicious stickers: Chocolate and Girl. They are plastered on the PC guy’s left and right shoulder. PC says, “Kids happen. I was bought for a home and now I have movies, blogs, listen to music, everything. . . all I want to do is balance their checkbooks.” Yeah, Four Star probably is more PC than Mac.
