These new Isotoner Smart Touch Gloves make it possible to text and have obviously changed Sean Black’s life, but seriously, we’re not really interested in handling our electronic life-source while hanging 50 feet in the air with gloves on. They’re just too slippery. On the other hand, the Isotoner are on sale at JCPenny for $29.99.

Yeah, it’s beginning to look a bit like winter on the Eastern Slope of California’s Sierra Nevada Range. It won’t be long. But these guys just couldn’t wait and got an edit out on October 5, 2010.

When Rip Curl wanted to get that stop motion every angle photo look (made popular 10 years ago by The Matrix) for their Mirage boardies, their ad agency just picked up 52 Canon EOS cameras, put them on a big rack and fired away, according to a story on Cnet.

Hoby Darling was a lawyer on the up at the “powerhouse law firm” of Latham Watkins when he took over the Volcom account, according to a story in the Wall Street Journal.
Now, six years later, he’s living the core life as VeeCo’s general counsel and helping Volcom to bridge the “divide between the Beach and Wall Street,” with what they call Volcom University.
Beginning this year, up to 20 employees can attend, free-of-charge, classes in finance taught by executives from Goldman Sachs and accounting from professionals at Deloitte & Touche. Senior Volcom executives, some of whom have also gone through M.B.A. programs while working at Volcom, then teach employees how to apply the concepts from those lessons to their specific work at Volcom.
If you’re going up against the establishment it pays to know your enemy, right?

In a nearly perfect metaphor for the Nike Corporation and the way they treat anyone who gets in their way, Danny Kass is ripped apart by some of his favorite zombies to promote his new Zoom DK snowboard boots. Lick it up.

It’s good to know that even we could give Tony Hawk a run in a game of Skate Nerd. Lance Mountain, on the other hand, is on a whole different level. The guy could be world champion.
