Empire State Of Mind Part 2 3:42 PM

Not what your thinking, but dope nevertheless. Download on the other side.

Penfield Winter Collection 3:20 PM

Penfield has been at the top of the outdoor winter gear game for some time now, and this year is no different. Chuck that North Face and rock some sick Penfield gear this winter by checking out the online store.

Vintage Beanies 2:30 PM

These vintage NFL and NHL beanies are just like the one your dad wears to shovel snow. Head to EastWestWorldwide to check out the full selection.

Brooklyn Brew Shop Kits 2:21 PM

The Brooklyn Brew Shop Kits let you get that microbrew taste from right in your own home. Specialty flavors are available for the holidays too, ones that might be good are Apple Crisp Ale or A Well Made Tripel. If you're thinking this is probably like those Mr. Beer kits you can scoop, you're way off, reviews say they're in different leagues.

Nike Air Max 90 CT LE Athletic South Black Infrared 9:36 PM

The OG Air Max 90 Infrareds have got to be one of my favorite sets of rides all time, but these new boys aren't too bad. The Nike Air Max 90 CT LE Athletic South Black Infrared is the newest batch of 90s to drop and my feelings are mixed. On one hand, these are subtly sick, but on the other hand I don't like the idea of redoing the Mona Lisa.

Voices iPhone App 9:32 PM

Liked the T-Pain app but wanted more voice altering options? Check out the Voices App to change your voice to anything from a chipmunk to Dart Vader. Have fun fellow iPhoners.

Ty Lawson 7:10 PM

If you didn't know, Ty Lawson is doing big things for the Nugs. Evidence on the flipside. If you don't know, now you know.

Lyle Quote Of The Week 7:03 PM

"So I spent the entire night trying to figure out if I ever made out with the girl sitting next to me...I still don't know"

Incase Combo Charger 3:29 PM

Incase has been killing the iPhone accessory game for a little while now and they just put out another killer product. The Combo Charger gives you both a wall plug in feature for at home and a cigarette lighter function for when you hit the road. Grab one of these the next time you lose that little cube piece and have to charge strictly on your computer, or maybe grab one just incase. Sorry i had to.

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski 3:15 PM

P Rod's not the only one on Nike's SB payroll, Stefan Janoski is now the second skater to have a Nike shoe launched with his moniker. These are kind of like a boat shoe and skate shoe hybrid that turned out pretty nicely, though the description would lead you to believe otherwise. Check out the other colorways on the flip.

Ork Posters 12:17 PM

The people at Ork Posters are doing some awesome work that lets people show off their roots. They've created designs for people reppin all kinds of hoods nationwide in a variety of colors; and not only that, they have gone down my road and done some anatomical stuff too. To show some love for my international reader(s) in Barcelona I created the one above.

Shepard Fairey 2 12:08 PM

As if you needed a good reason to get busy with the genius that is Shepard Fairey, he's currently doing some really cool stuff for Jim Muir. Muir founded Dogtown Skateboards and recently busted up his back cracking 2 vertebrae in a surfing accident. Fairey released the Jim Muir Print in light of the accident. All proceeds from this work will go towards financing Muir's medical bills, get well soon.

"Our only crime is being original"

Consequence- Whatever U Want (G.O.O.D. remix) 11:59 AM

G.O.O.D. Music got their dreams out when they remixed Consequence's "Whatever U Want". Mr. West unleashed the entire arsenal on this one, give it a listen on the other side. G.O.O.D. Music has arrived!

His & Her Jordans 9:56 AM

I've had a new appreciation for Kanye ever since I found out that he's a cool dude is person (courtesy of the world famous Tom Boyd). Knowing that, I figure he and Amber are probably one of the coolest couples on Earth behind Jay & B and Jack & I. I don't advocate couples wearing matching gear, but I would wear dueling Jordan IIIs any day of the week. Pics, kicks.

Dook 8:27 PM

New York, New York 8:24 PM

As of today, the Yanks had more wins in November than the rest of New York's sports teams combined. The Knicks won once this month, but the Jets, Bills, Giants, and Nets have yet to win. Well I guess it's true, if you can't make it here, you can't make it anywhere.

Street Crossing 5:28 PM

Okay, here's the bottom line: I'm really good at crossing the street. I wait until the light is yellow for oncoming traffic and I begin to cross so that by the time I am across I don't get in people's way from the other direction. It's pretty hard to annoy me, but when people brazenly cross the street it gets me heated. Why do people wait for red lights in both directions, step out like 3 feet then stop suddenly and look at the light like, "Oh shit, it's green now?"? This half-hearted cross prompts a wave across by the first driver and screws everything at the light. Another way to get me heated at an intersection is to press the button. The button is only useful in the city where it's constant traffic and people are hauling ass all day long. If you press the button in West Chester it keeps that walking guy up long enough to get the entire Dugger cult through the intersection when you really only need like 3 seconds, or a little longer than a yellow light. The absolute worst street crossing tactic is a combination of the two aforementioned tactics. It is to press the button and then look out and realize no one is deterring you from crossing. This stunt makes all the lights red for what seems like an eternity, but the people doing this don't realize it because they have already crossed and are damn near a full block away, probably doing it again.

Ponoko 3:45 PM

Have you ever seen the perfect piece of furniture, except for that little thing sticking out? Now you can get rid of the stuff you don't like and make your own original piece. Check out Ponoko to save a trip to Ikea.

BrewTender 3:30 PM

If you enjoy boozing but hate walking to the fridge, this little guy is for you. The KegWorks BrewTender holds up to 80 oz. (a little more than a six pack) while being kept cold by a removable ice chamber. Need a cool glass to pour it into? Try this one.

Lyle Doesn't Say Yes/No 9:31 AM

I don't know how much exposure you have to Lyle, but he doesn't answer questions with a yes or a no answer. Here are some recent examples:

Q: You trying to go out tonight? A: Well I haven't yet this week.

Q: Was that burger good? A: I mean, I wouldn't get it again.

Q: Do you need to get a shower before we go out? A: You can get yours first.

Q: You want to get pizza tonight? A: I had pizza yesterday for lunch.

New Terrible Towels 9:23 AM

We all know about the Steelers Terrible Towel, but now there's a new version in Detroit. They've added the word We're to the towel so that it now reads, We're Terrible Towel. It's bad to be bad, but at least they're having fun with it.

Plaid Shorts 9:18 AM

Although I don't do plaid shorts anymore, there was a time when I did wear them. In fact, I'll let everyone in on a secret: I brought plaid shorts to the east coast. Seriously. Think back to when you first started seeing plaid shorts around here, probably like summer '05ish right? When I went to my senior week in '04 I rocked plaid shorts on the boardwalk, and continued to for the rest of the summer. Your welcome for the business AE.

Rock n Jocks 9:08 AM

Rock-n-Jocks has 20% off all New Eras until 11/21. I'm not into the brightly colored fitteds, but if that's your bag type in the promo code TURKEY to get the discount when you check out.

Cole Aldrich 9:00 AM

Last night I watched the Kansas and Memphis game for about 20 minutes and was impressed by Cole Aldrich. In about 10 minutes of game time he dunked on a defender, grabbed a few boards, and hit a fadeaway with a hand in his face. This dude is a legitimate big man with real skills. I don't think he has Hansbrough range, but he has way more moves inside than Tyler. I hope they play Notre Dame at some point this year so that people can see what a real big man looks like and what a fraudulent big man looks like.

DJ AM Memorial Fund 10:38 PM

AM was not only a master of the ones and twos, he was also an well-known sneaker head. Some of his personal collection of limiteds and rare kicks is being auctioned off to the highest bidder. Proceeds from the auction go to his memorial fund to help people with addiction. Scoop some kicks here, this is as good a reason as any.

Mmmvelopes 10:32 PM

Still not into the email craze that's spring up over the past 15 years? Score some Mmmvelopes to send your correspondences. The adhesive tastes like bacon so you can seal this sucker up without having to deal with that awful glue taste. Be careful, the taste can be deadly, ask George Costanza.

Drunk and Hot Girls 1:06 AM

Why do drunk girls think that they're above us commoners? They attempt, and get away, with more shit in one night than I ever will in my life. Last night, I escorted Lyle to get pizza after the bar and witnessed some stuff that set me off. First, a girl and her friend squeeze past the line for pizza claiming they just want to get inside to get out of the rain. No biggie, right? Right, until I see those two hookers paying a few minutes later. So because you're drunk and don't want to wait, you don't have to? Next, as we're standing on the cusp of the doorway, the broad behind me is trying to muscle me inside so she doesn't have to be in the rain, which is a mist by the way. When I turned to see why she is trying to post me up she says sorry but she doesn't want to get her shoes wet. Haha, you picked the wrong person to say that to sweetheart. I rolled my eyes and turned to Lyle to loudly explain to him how I frequently want to wear my Jamaican Green 90s or my Jordan IVs but I check the weather first so I don't end up like the idiot behind me. To make it even worse, the hoodrat calls the pizza place we're in to order a pizza because she couldn't bear to wait in line. I turned and said, "Are you serious?" She politely asked if I wanted the number, I said no and came this close to stepping on her ugly shoe on my way out.

Corner Sitting 12:43 AM

Tonight we posted up at Kildare's and I had a great time. I chilled out on a stool at the crossroads of where people were coming and going with Boyd, Tom. To most people it may have looked like I was miserable and bored but I was having one of those blasts I've heard so much about. Skip the crowd and try taking a load off to scope the crowd, like at the beach but with your shirt on.

Brad Miller & Jason Williams 8:29 PM

I don't know if anyone saw the near game winner that Brad Miller had the other night for the Bulls, but man am I glad the refs waived it off. I'm not sure why, but Brad Miller has always rubbed me the wrong way. It's probably the fact that he has the old And-1 symbol tattooed generically on one biceps and a tiny cartoon dog on the other. While we're on the big, stupid white player topic, I don't like Luke Harangody or Robbie Hummel either. No explanation, they're just overrated, neither will get a title and neither will be good in the league.

Jason Williams, White Chocolate, not the Dook one, is a sight for sore eyes in the league this year. I liked him back when he was the only heavily tatted white dude that was slinging passes all over the floor and I'm glad he's back. He's kind of like what the Birdman is now, except he was the Birdman before the Birdman was the Birdman.

AutoTune The World 11:17 AM

This video is proof that before it's death, AutoTune was able to improve anything from Kanye to kids with bowl cuts. Bounce.

Lebron 12:00 AM

Bron announced tonight that he is probably going to change his number next year in honor of His Airness. After MJ came to watch the King vs. D. Wade tonight, Lebron said he doesn't think anyone should wear 23 anymore. How can you not be impressed by the dude, he's classy as hell. New number? He's thinking 6 since it's his Olympic number. I wore 6 a few years back in intramurals, coincidence?

Philip Collins 11:46 PM

Tonight I had my first cadaver lab for gross anatomy and we had a funny moment right from the jump. We have to wear lab coats while we're in there, fortunately there's a head-high pile of dirty coats there for us already to pick through. Some had old name tags, all had stains, most weren't appealing in any way. My buddy, Alex, pulled one off the top and threw it on. It wasn't until a little bit later that we saw the name tag on it read, Philip Collins...nice.

Greco Sisters 11:35 PM

I was putting my laundry away today and noticed how well folded certain pieces were. Jack did some for me not long ago and when I put away the clothes she folded they were so tight and compactly folded. I used to look at myself as a good laundry folder, not anymore. After living with Ali and Jack this summer, I was exposed to their superior folding technique. While the sisters Greco possess all the qualities prized by the superficial man, they also have several hidden talents such as being able to fold a mean garment. They complained about my inability to fold properly this summer and I am finally seeing that their method is definitely more better than mine. Sorry I ever doubted you ladies.

Dyson Air Multiplier 11:28 PM

Don't let the name fool you, this is a bladeless fan. Apparently, the air is sucked in through the base and when it is forced out through the ring it sucks air in behind it. Since there aren't blades it doesn't get all dusty the way the tower fan you had in the dorms did. Only one problem, are you going to put down 3 notes for a fan?

"Meiple"- Robin Thicke feat. Jay-Z 11:10 PM

"Meiple" (said me-I-play) is as on point as a Robin Thicke song gets. I'm not entirely sure I like his stuff, but I do like this, maybe because the world's greatest rapper is in on it. Actually, why bullshit, yeah that's why.

U2 X Hov 10:46 PM

U2 preformed at the Euro VMAs last week and one Shawn Carter stopped by for a few bars on "Sunday Bloody Sunday". Jay has torn down his last VMA shows, one in the states and now one in Berlin, the good stuff starts around the 3 minute mark.

PacMan 10:28 PM

In light of this weekend's bout between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto I felt everyone should know about the IM King X Manny Pacquiao Pound4Pound colloabo t-shirt. It's hard to not like Manny, and even harder now since the proceeds for this go to typhoon victims in the Philippines. Score this and the fight for less than a note.

Tyler Hansborough For Acura 10:17 PM

I guess we know what kind of car Tyler's driving. Apparently they were going to give him an RL but downgraded to a TL after it took him over 500 takes to finally get that last part down. Check it on the other side.

Superman? Please... 1:32 PM

Dwight Howard is overrated. He will not win a title, even with a good guard. I don't like people calling him "Superman" either, there's one Man Of Steel and that is Shaq Diesel. Shaq has been getting pounded on since he came into the league and I have seen him react twice, at most. This week, Howard complained about not getting calls and then being called for fouls he didn't commit. On top of that, we all we remember the elbow he threw against the Sixers last year when someone finally bodied him up. Diesel has 60 pounds on Howard and still maneuvers his way around the court better. Bottom line, Shaq is/was/will always be the only Superman of the NBA.

NIke Air Penny II Atlantic Blue 11:43 AM

The Air Penny II has been re-released and it reminded me of back in '96 when Gibb scored these and I had a pair of Jordan XIIs. He always had smaller feet so he could still get kid's sizes and I had to get the smallest men's size, which of course came with the man sized price, sorry mom and dad.

Nike SB Eugene Backpack 11:23 AM

I think Nike secretly has it out for me by continually releasing new SB Backpacks that I can't afford. They started popping up about a year ago with my favorite, the Buzz Lightyear, and have steadily produced like five more versions since. I've yet to have someone agree with me on how sick they are, maybe you'll be the first. Do my Christmas shopping here and/or here.

ZeroEdge Aquariums 11:09 AM

Like the Infinity Pools always on display on Cribs. Only one problem though, since there's no edge, there's no lid so don't fall in.

Shepard Fairey 11:14 AM

In case you've been under a rock for the past year, Shepard Fairey is the guy responsible for the Obama "Hope" posters and Obey clothing. The dude does amazing stuff but he can't seem to stay out of trouble; apparently Boston cops don't like graffiti, no matter how sick it looks. In response to his arrest this year these t-shirts were launched, I guess it's the white version of those "Free Yayo" shirts from '04.

Bang 11:10 AM

I went to get a .99 egg and cheese down the street and look at the mullet that pulled up next to me while I waited...solid right?

Office Edition Clue 10:52 AM

Play this version after you get bored with the Seinfeld version. I think Dwight is somehow behind every crime in this version so it kind of ruins the fun of pulling the result out of that little envelope at the end.

Tarheels 10:28 AM

The Tarheels started their season last night by beating FIU by 16 while wearing throwback unis to honor their '57 national championship team. The Heels also celebrated their 100th year of college basketball dominance with a red waistband and trim on their shorts and jerseys, naturally I like the look.

Dave's Quality Meat 10:10 AM

Dave's Quality Meat has some legit gear. Growing up, I never knew what a fashion mecca Newville was. Who knew that we were light years ahead of the game by wearing flannels and hunter safety orange? Sorry hipsters, my boys at home have been rocking this stuff since OJ had Isotoners.

Papa John's Sucks 9:34 AM

So Lyle and I have a buy-one-get-one card for Papa John's so we order from there every once in a while. I'm not sure why we continue to do it since there's always an f up in their service and the pizza isn't that great, despite their better ingredients etc. This time I call in and immediately sit on hold for about 10 minutes, 9 of which Lyle was bitching. He starts off by saying that the "retards" that work there probably spit in the food, then changes his mind and says they probably drool in it. When we pull up to pick up the pizza he sighs and quickly complains about now being able to see the idiots responsible for us being on hold earlier. As I wait inside for about 10 minutes before being acknowledged, Lyle calls (from 15 feet away) and wonders if he should turn off the car because he doesn't have much gas, I say no. A few minutes later I walk out with the pizza as Lyle starts the car. We both complain about it the whole way home and probably right up until the point where we start eating. My whole point is why do we even go there? It's like Entourage, you know the acting sucks and the story line is getting weak, but you still arrange your Sunday night around being able to watch it. Just imagine the mess John Schnatter and Marky Mark could create with their powers combined. I'm sure we would all hate/love every minute of it.

2009 VMAs 12:32 AM

I was watching Jay-Z and Alicia Keys perform "Empire State of Mind" at the VMAs a little while back and grabbed this screen shot. Now we know what it looks like from Jay's point of view.

4th Quarter, Babyyyy! 12:10 AM

Fortunately for this guy there was no OT, yikes.

A-Rod Centaur 12:02 AM

In light of the Yankees winning buying the world series, these shirts only seemed fitting. Scoop one here.

Hotwicks 11:02 PM

Really set the mood and bring back great times with these exotic candle scents ranging from bacon to new car to stripper. Pairing beer, grass, and pigskin is great for Sundays with the guys, but using combos like whiskey, urinal cake, and stripper could bring back some bad Saturday nights.

Cardboard Bedsheets 10:54 PM

Send mom and dad a picture message of these on your bed and you'll be sure to score a check in the mail within the week. Though they're not actually made of cardboard, the image is printed in the fabric to ensure an authentic homeless look. To sweeten the deal even more, 30% of the profits from these go to a UK charity for homeless people. See for yourself...

Mike Posner 10:03 PM

Mike Posner has been all over the music blog scene lately because of the release of his second mixtape, One Foot Out The Door. I've given it a quick listen and it's not bad, but like all Dook idiots he'll probably never get off the bench once he graduates. With that said, I will admit that this is pretty impressive.

Seinfeld Edition Clue 9:45 PM

I loved Clue when I was younger and I love Seinfeld now that I'm grown so naturally this appeals to me. Seinfeld Edition Clue lets you ponder over whether it was Kramer with the meat slicer, Elaine with the water pick, or dare I say...Newman with the Mellow Yellow bottle.

Lil Wayne- No Ceilings 9:37 PM

Weezy's newest mixtape dropped a few weeks ago and it looks like it might be the last we hear from him for a little while. Wayne's looking at about a year in jail after admitting that he had a loaded .40 caliber semi-auto on his tour bus back in '07. I haven't been bored enough to listen to the mixtape yet but I'm sure it will be great.

Justin Bieber 9:34 PM

Lyle was listening to this 15 year old today. I don't know, you tell me....

Justin Bieber- "One Time"

GigLocator 9:28 PM

Check out GigLocator to see when your favorite group is coming to town near yous.

Gerber Shard 5:01 PM

The Gerber Shard keychain tool combines seven basic functions into less than 3" of titanium coated goodness. Now you won't have to whip out your flip-flop-shaped bottle opener someone got you in Cancun when your services are needed by a cutie at a party.

Oh, Manu 2:25 AM

Manu Ginobili knocked out, and hopefully killed, a bat during the Spurs game against the Kings last Saturday. I'm guessing it was the highlight of the game based on the crowd's reaction, check it out on the flipside.

Black and Decker Ready Wrench 2:19 AM

This thing is pretty sick, it's got 16 metric and standard sockets all on one tool. Now you can look like an expert and not have to guess between a 5/16 or a 4mm socket in front of your father-in-law.

King James 11:26 PM

I would love for LeBron to stay in Cleveland since I like to see players play for one team for their entire career, but it seems like his stay in the Sixth City may end come next summer. We know Bron loves the the Big Apple, and the Garden, but who wouldn't if you're being greeted by Hov, C.C., Joba (not pictured), and A-Rod after the game like he was tonight after dropping 33, 8, & 9. Though I could care less about the latter three, Big Homie could put him in an empire state of mind.

Rip City Jerseys 11:12 PM

I don't know if anyone was watching the Blazers/Spurs match up tonight (not sure why you would), but the Blazers had some fresh jerseys on. The Rip City Jerseys are to commemorate the team's 40 years in Portland and to pay homage to their legendary broadcaster, Bill Schonely, who coined the term. If you missed them tonight you can check them again on April 14 against the Warriors.

Beatles USB Apple Collection 10:49 PM

The Beatles have finally gone digital, and in a big way with The Beatles USB Apple Collection. This granny smith is jammed with 14 albums in 320 Kbps MP3 formats, 13 mini-documentary films, replicated UK album art, rare photos, and expanded liner notes. The digitally remasterified nugget would be a great gift for your ex-hippy parents, assuming they'll know how to work it. Hurry only 30,000 copies are scheduled to drop world wide (12/8/09).
