I'm not too sure...


I said before I have not seen too many SB's as of late that have come out that make me say Whoa. These are releasing at Brooklyn Projects on Friday. I might have to cop these...love the use of gold and black. 

This is part of the BMX series, wonder how the skate kids will treat the BMX kids, there has always been beef between to the two groups...

Stories like this just depress me but I feel the need to cover them.

THE NEW YORK TIMES // STORY BY MICHAEL WILSON » Three detectives were found not guilty Friday on all charges in the shooting death of Sean Bell, who died in a hail of 50 police bullets

outside a club in Jamaica, Queens, in November 2006. The verdict prompted calls for calm from the mayor, angry promises of protests by those speaking for the Bell family and expressions of relief by the detectives. Detective Michael Oliver, who fired 31 bullets the night of the shooting and faced manslaughter charges, said Justice Arthur J. Cooperman had made a “fair and just decision.”

Justice Cooperman delivered the verdict in State Supreme Court at 9 a.m. Describing the evidence, he said it was reasonable for the detectives to fear that someone in the crowd that night carried a gun. He added that many of the prosecution’s witnesses, including Mr. Bell’s friends and the two wounded victims, were simply not believable. “At times, the testimony of those witnesses just didn’t make sense,” the judge said. Several supporters of Mr. Bell stormed out of the courtroom, and a few small scuffles followed outside the courthouse. By midafternoon, there were no suggestions of any broader unrest around the city. Mr. Bell’s family and fiancée left without making any comments and drove to visit his grave at the Nassau Knolls Cemetery and Memorial Park in Port Washington.

Heart Of the City



thats right this Sunday HOVA will take over Verizon Center. This show needs no promo....

One thing I'm glad to see is that HOVA is picking REAL DJ's. Neil Armstrong is an amazing DJ, after seeing how a DJ can do so much different real techniques, I am glad I have personally been able to make friends with some of the greatest I think. Geometrix, Enferno, Quixotic, I-DEE, Dirty Hands, DJ OZ (the paki one) DJ OZ (the flip one), DJ Impulse and many more...

On that note, I have seen a lot of terrible DJ's as well...

Lets see if some how I can find a ticket, a good ticket to the show on Sunday

Nomo-Phobia -- I might have it!


If you get struck by icy shivers at the very thought of moving outside the coverage provided by your mobile phone operator or being suddenly cut off from accessing your trusty form of pocket-sized portable communication, then chances are you’re suffering from “nomo-phobia.”

Specifically, a study carried out by UK organisation YouGov has revealed that millions of people are apparently suffering from nomo-phobia (or “no mobile phobia”) after becoming overly dependant on their mobile phone to the point where a drained battery signal or empty credit rating can cause an abrupt tidal wave of stress.

With research suggesting that more than 13 million Brits fear being out of mobile phone contact and are already afflicted with nomo-phobia, experts are claiming that around 53 percent of all mobile phone users could well be struggling with the condition.

According to the research, which was commissioned by the Post Office and conducted across more than 2,100 respondents, 10 percent said constant contact was required for professional reasons, while a further 9 percent claimed to feel anxious whenever their phone was turned off.

Of those polled in the study, some 48 percent of women and 58 percent of men revealed that instances such as a flat battery charge, no phone credit, network interruption or coverage problems had led them to experience moments of extreme anxiety. More than 50 percent said their reliance stretched to the point where they never turned their phone off.

“Nomo-phobia is all too real for many people,” commented Stewart Fox-Mills, telecom expert for the Post Office.

“We’re all familiar with the stressful situations of everyday life such as moving house, break-ups and organising a family Christmas. But it seems that being out of mobile contact may be the 21st century’s latest contribution to our already hectic lives,” he added. “Whether you have run out of credit or battery, lose your phone or are in an area with no reception, being phoneless can bring on a panicky symptom in our 24/7 culture.”

Possible ways recommended for better avoiding the related stresses of suddenly finding yourself cut off from accessing your phone include keeping credit levels near constant and carrying a pre-paid phone card in order to make calls should your mobile be out of commission, or perhaps even stolen.

The study also offers that mobile phone users should supply family and friends with an alternative contact number, have important numbers stored and available somewhere other than their mobile, and even to voluntarily enforce a period when the handset is turned off in order to help loosen its hold over everyday life.

Note: Not being so utterly dependant on mobile phone access here at The Tech Herald, we couldn’t help but feel that this story was borderline April Fool material. However, other reputable sources have covered it and date it March 31, so therefore there really must be some seriously affected mobile users out there.


Yea I might be one of these people....I love my berry way too much!

Who rembs the cartoon?

From the John Mayer blog

Reading this on a rainy day...it makes sense...humbles you..

FROM THE HEART....

I need to write this.

I've been traveling alone in Japan for the better part of three weeks now, and It's been so remarkable an experience for me that I can't book a ticket home yet. I haven't spoken very much out loud these days, but I've been thinking to myself in what feels like surround sound. I can see so many things clearly, and feel so connected to myself and the world around me that I need to share the perspective with you.

I'm already aware that when I sing, say or write anything, 50 percent of the response will be in support of it and the other 50 will want to discount it. This blog, though, is directed to 100 percent of people reading it. If my blog truly does have any cultural effect, then it should be used for more than just pictures of sneakers and funny youtube videos. (If you don't think my blog has any effect, than you can't by definition be reading this right now and therefore don't have to respond to it in any way. Isn't that tidy?)

What I'm about to write isn't about fame or success or celebrity or the media. That's my business.

This is about us all.

This is about a level of self consciousness so high in my generation, that it's actually toxic.

This is about the girl in her bedroom who poses in front of the camera she's awkwardly holding in her outstretched hand. She'll take a hundred photos until coming up with one she's happy with, which inevitably looks nothing like her, and after she's done poring over images of herself, will post one on her myspace page and then write something like " I don't give a f*ck what you think about me."

This is about the person trying out for American Idol, who while going off about how confident they are that they were born ready to sing in front of the world, are trembling so badly they can hardly breathe.

This is about me, the guy who walks through a throng of photographers into a restaurant like he's Paul Newman, but who leaves a "reject" pile of clothes in his closet so high that his cleaning lady can't figure out how one man can step into so many pairs of pants in a week.

This is about a young guy who maintains a celebrity blog that subsists on tearing other people down but who has wrestled with a lifelong battle for acceptance as a gay man.

This is about us all. Every one of us. Who all seem to know deep down that it's incredibly hard to be alive and interact with the world around us but will try and cover it up at any cost. For as badass and unaffected as we try to come off, we're all just one sentence away from being brought to the edge of tears, if only it was worded right. And I don't want to act immune to that anymore. I took the biggest detour from myself over the past year, since I decided that I wasn't going to care about what people thought about me. I got to the point where I had so much padding on that, sure, I couldn't feel the negativity, but that's because I couldn't feel much of anything. And I think I'm done with that.

I'm not the first person to admit we're all self conscious, Kanye was. But what I want to do is to shed a little light on why we're all in the same boat, no matter the shape of the life we lead: because every one of us were told since birth that we were special. We were spoken to by name through a television. We were promised we could be anything that we wanted to be, if only we believed it and then, faster than we saw coming, we were set loose into the world to shake hands with the millions of other people who were told the exact same thing.

And really? Really? It turns out we're just not all that special, when you break it down. Beautifully unspectacular, actually. And that truth is going to catch up with us whether we want to run from it or not. The paparazzo following me to the gym ain't gonna be Herb Ritts and the guy he's following ain't gonna be Bob Dylan. It's just a matter of how old you are once you embrace that fact. And for me, 30 sounds about right.

What now, then? I can only really say for myself: Enjoy who I am, the talents and the liabilities. Stop acting careless. In fact, care more. Be vulnerable but stay away from where it hurts. Read. See more shows. Of any kind. Rock shows, art shows, boat shows. Create more art. Wear hoodies to dinner. Carry a notebook and hand it to people when they passionately recommend something and ask them to write it down for me.

Root for others.

Give more and expect the same in return, but over time.

Act nervous when I'm nervous, puzzled when I don't know what the hell to do, and smile when it all goes my way. And never in any other order than that.

And when it's all over, whether at the end of this fabulous career or of this life, which I hope takes place at the same time, I should look back and say that I had it good and I made the most of it while I was able. And so should you.

I'm going quiet now.

John

WorldWide BAPE Head Show : April 10th





Bape is producing together with Silly Thing and I.T. the Worldwide Bape Heads Show in Hong Kong, which will see the Teriyaki Boyz, Kanye West, Nigo and N.E.R.D. perform on April 10th. Silly Thing produced the tv commercial for the event.

Side note : If I find a bag of cash (or if Virgin Airlines would like to donate two tickets round trip for me and a friend) I will be at this show....

Dimepiece Boss




My favorite girl line out there by far is Dimepiece. Ashley and Laura know what they are doing, always on top of the game, and a step ahead! Here is a little look at their summer line coming out.

When we had the line at the shop I could not keep it on the shelves for more than 48 hours, phone orders, people coming from everywhere (thank you ash and laura! some pretty ladies stepped foot in the store cause of you guys) or the best story, a guy coming in, 10 mins after we have closed, begging to get some stuff for his girl. Not know what she wanted, he copped every design! Thats love for your girl (or smart, he got laid that night!)

Check out their website : DimePiece Designs

PS these girls know how to party! Lets just say JET Vegas last thing I remember is kicking it with Ash and then I am waking up on the floor of my hotel room 20 mins before my flight took off!

LV X Kanye west...

Before I post the video, I stole it from my boy Steven Lees blog over at N4E1 (notforeveryone) clothings website. They are a group based out of Hong Kong, and one of the earlier supporters of KB before we closed. Anyways, this dude has always been good, and I owe him some lap dances in August. Anyways I went over to his blog to see this guy went to the LV party in Hong Kong! He got the Kanye performance on tape!

Keep a look out for their spring collection, after a long chat on AIM today, I can't wait to see what these guys got up their sleeves, hope I still get a care package bro ;)

www.n4e1.com


Staple Designs at it again!

Jeff Staple over the years has been one of my favorite designers. One reason, he sets the trends, he doesn't follow them. Jeff brought us the Pigeon dunk few years ago, and I can say I'm one of the few lucky owners of them. Now Jeff teams up with New Balance to bring out the Pigeon 575!

David Banner

I guess my friends are finally coming back to normal from this years SXSW event. On gmail chat earlier (if you are a mac user you should be using the software Adium) a friend of mine said that the David Banner performance was by far the best. He also said this video of Banner at the Fader Fort does no justice to what he saw and felt.




"its Pimp muthafucking C!"

Solids!


The Solid Colors Be True Dunk High set dropped at the Rivington Club today, I made the phone call and copped just the Blue and Red ones. I know I haven't posted much from Nike lately, but the blue ones really caught my feelings.

Classic Vans print...but better

They come in three colorways and feature the Paisley Skull pattern all-over. Paisley is nothing new to Vans, but this is something a little different!

Incase : hard case red!



Incase by far is my favorite case company. I have their sleeve for my macbook, and then I saw (that they gave away to everyone but me) the black hard case and feel in love! Now after checking out their blog, I see that they have the red one! Ok Im going to give it two weeks to see if some how I can get one sent to me for the blog of course to see how it is and write a nice review, if not, I guess I'll have to buy one. Trust if I had a an iphone I would def use one of their cases for the phone, why don't they have one for the blackberry curve?

Check out goincase.com for more products

here is the video of our to put the hard case on.
