I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

G9.

Last week, I was a guest speaker at the annual PSFK Conference in NYC. The panel I was on was talking about Green Initiatives and how it affects business. I guess they asked me to join because of Staple's work on Nike Considered. The other people on the panel were Jeffrey Hollender who founded Seventh Generation (I use their dish washing soap!), Graham Hill, Founder of Treehugger and Johnny Vulkan from Anomoly. Great turnout at the Art Director's Club.
先週、僕はニューヨークで行われたPSFK Conferenceにゲストスピーカーとして招かれました。パネルディスカッションではGreen Initiativeなど環境方針がビジネスにどう影響するかを話し合いました。僕が呼ばれたのは、StapleがNike Consideredに携わったことがあるからだと思います。他にも、Seventh Generationの創設者、Jeffery Hollender氏(僕は彼らの食器洗い洗剤を使ってます!)、Treehugger創設者のGraham Hill氏とAnomolyのJohnny Vulkan氏が会議に出席しました。Art Director's Clubにたくさんの人が集まってくれました。

Raymond Roker from Urb Magazine came into the city to attend the conference I finally got the opportunity to meet with him. I've been a reader of Urb for over 10 years now. It was good to finally link with the man behind the music.
Urb MagazineのRaymond Rokerがこの会議のためニューヨークに来て、やっとお会いすることが出来ました。僕はUrbの読者を10年間やっていますので、雑誌の立役者ご本人と会えたことがうれしかったです。

Finally, let me know if you notice an improvement in the quality of photos in future posts. I just picked up the Canon G9 camera. My Canon SD630 is pretty battered and I went to the store to get a replacement. I normally would go with portability over the megapixels but I figured since my SD630 was still technically breathing, I opted to go for the G9 and see if it would blow my mind. Quite honestly, it's very difficult to get used to. I'm still playing around with it and trying to figure out all the settings. Maybe it's time I take some photography classes.
最後に、これからのブログの写真の画像が改善されていたら、教えてください。最近このCanon G9のカメラを購入しました。僕のCanon SD630はもう使い古していて、新しく買い換えようとお店に行きました。普段はメガピクセルより持ち運びやすさを優先しますがSD630がまだかろうじて使えるので、G9を試すことにしました。正直、使いこなすのに戸惑っています。設定など色々いじっています。カメラ教室に通おうかな。

I heard the only downer about that camera is that it has a slower shutter and focus then expected but with that said it is still a point and shoot.overall a nice pickup. You can also purchase screw on lenses for that model, big plus!

Just recently got this camera too and am back from a trip to sri lanka and dubai - this camera blows any point and shoot out of the water - a great step up if you are thinking about getting serious about photography and much less clunky to drag artound than a dSLR.

You can trick it out with a number of accessories too - do a search for the Richard Franiec custom grip. It's machine tooled, matches perfectly with the camera and improves the handling greatly.
