Our buddy John Lee of Theme Magazine (nyc) swung by the studio to pick me up to go have lunch with Christian Hosoi. John recently wrote a nice piece on Christian in Theme for the Rebel issue. I haven’t seen Christian in ages.. We used to live a block and a half from each other. Back in the day I used to sk8 by his house on my way to get a double scoop of Thriftys ice-cream. It was good catching up with him for a quick reminisce of sk8 pro central (his house back in the day).. Here’s a pic of John and Hosoi at lunch..

Eco-Sphere

  • Posted on: June 25th, 2008
  • Posted in: Updates

Our girl SuChin is a host on the new eco show “G Word” on Discovery green channel.. She gave us a new little eco-sphere.. It’s soo cool. It’s a little sealed glass ball that is totally self sustaining.

Here some words on the eco-sphere::

Contained in each of these beautifully crafted spheres are several key components, each of which are critically important to one another. Active micro-organisms, bright red shrimp, and algae comprise the biological elements whose symbiotic relationship means they could not exist without each other. Their environment is composed of filtered seawater, Gorgonia (a non-living branch-like material), and gravel. Gorgonia and gravel serve as hiding places for the animals and provide the algae and micro-organisms with a stable platform for growth. Culminating in a perfect biological balance, each Ecosphere is a wonderful example of nature. This is how it works: First, light energy is used by the algae to fuel the photosynthetic process which produces oxygen as a bi-product. Then, using the oxygen, the shrimp produce carbon dioxide, which is used by the algae. The shrimp also produce waste product, which is then utilized by the micro-organisms who break it down into basic nutrients that can be used by the shrimp and algae. It is a perfect circle needing nothing more than light. (read more :: get one here) biobiobioeco

Peel’n Caps

It’s cool living in L.A. cuz it’s so easy to roll to the range and peel some caps… Every once in a while when you get the urge to peel some caps, you can just start bustin caps in the air.. (I kid, I kid..) There are plenty of indoor ranges to safely let loose some lead..

Talking about guns and going shooting is probably not the most kosher thing to talk about these days… But, it sure is fun..

Rolled up with my brother and homie Stephan…. Blaou, blaou, blaou..
