“World of Goo” is the best game I’ve played in a long time (just finished the level 1 demo). No wonder it’s on the list of many reviewers top games of 2008. Smart, fun and simple gameplay don’t come along that often. “brilliant, stunning, and ridiculously fun … World of Goo is so good that it […]

Hello from Long Beach project
December 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Like this project that just started up. “Simultaneous coverage from coast to coast … Long Beach, Ca and Long Beach, NY It’s a view of the world from two surfers who mainly do other things who live in the same city but on opposite sides of the United States.” They should consider making it a triptych and finding someone […]

A look back at Surfing in 2008
December 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Some of my top moments surfing in 2008. This year I started out with the longboard thinking it would be a half/half between that and the fish. Let’s just say the log won me over fast. We surfed alot — a quick estimate puts it around 45-50 days in the water this past year. Here are 7 […]

Small present to myself #1
December 29th, 2008 · No Comments
Bought a digital copy of “Seaworthy” by Nathan Oldfield from www.thesurfnetwork.com. Looks beautiful with a killer soundtrack. This is fodder for saving every last penny for a Costa trip in the spring. “Seaworthy is the long awaited second offering from independent filmmaker Nathan Oldfield, the maker of the highly regarded and award winning underground surf film […]

Sea Shepard
December 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment
Our good friend Ryan served aboard the first Sea Shepard boat 10 years back. I remember him telling us about his equipment list that he had to prepare to bring with him and his benefit concert/fund raising efforts. Since then the group has remained in my mind and it’s good to see them winning the media […]

Memory lane… Royksopp – Remind Me video
December 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
Another great older video for one of the early “better” electro-music groups that starting coming out after 2000. Worth watching again. I’d love to see a clean HD version of this. Bit more about Röyksopp

Hiking at Mt. Glenn for some early pow
December 21st, 2008 · No Comments
B and Corey 1/2 way Very fun day hiking @ Mt Glenn. Trekked our way to the top (Corey, Erik, Banane and myself) and did one sweet dry powder run. The mountain is still closed, the runs now have some tall grasses still sticking through but there was plenty of ultra dry snow sitting on the runs. […]

More winter east coast perfection
December 12th, 2008 · 5 Comments
In an ongoing series of me randomly checking some of the surf cams along the east coast and DROOLING; more empty perfection from down south. Looks well overhead in the area, which would make this close to a standup barrel. Bet it’s chilly though. http://www.stevey.com/surfcams/
