Like French Maid TV before it, Eye Handy is a flimsy excuse to show scantily clad women pretending to show you how to do some menial task that you already know how to do anyway. Or as it may be in this case, something you possibly don’t want to know how to do, like putting carpeting on your longboard. Expect lingering shots and “accidental” framing of certain areas of interest. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

Rad Applique. What the hell is MC doing hanging out at Michaels? Ok Patch Adams, that’s enough.

A xylophone in the shape of a skateboard. It’s intended for children, and may have been recalled at some point because you can’t find many pictures of it on the web, outside of this auction and one Google link led me to list of recalled toys, but this one was not on there.

I first I thought this was a gag, but now I’m betting it’s a carefully crafted fishing attempt to pad the email lists of Viagra spammers. And no, it’s not because I joined the site and got all kinds of spam. I didn’t get any after I joined… wait, I mean I didn’t join, I swear! Funny how if you reload the page, only women (ages 19 – 61!) are featured among the random “Real Member Profiles” featured. They also start repeating fairly quickly. I hate to link to this, because I’m sure it’s going to hurt our Google rankings, but here’s your chance to Date Skaters. I’m pretty sure some of them are posers. – Thanks to Quartersnacks for the tip.

According to the Mercury News: Amid the worst budget crisis in city history, with even police officers worried for their jobs, city leaders last fall said San Jose’s gem of a skate park — California’s largest — would have to either be left as an unstaffed free-for-all, privatized or possibly even padlocked. Heaven forbid an unstaffed free-for-all! Then it would be just like every public skatepark in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Illinois, Wisconsin, and probably a few other states too. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

As much as these look like bindings from water skis attached to a goofy piece of wood, the mechanical design of the skateboard rack from MAxRax is clever. I thin they might sell better wiithout the graphics. Attach the mount to the wall, and the top part slides up as you insert it into the rubber sheath… actually it’s a little bit fetishistic, but a clever design none the less. – Thanks to Boy Ipoh for the tip.

From the Too Old To Skate blog. Isn’t that an old Deathbox graphic?

Apple’s announced a new format and authoring software for it’s textbook platform on the iPad. Ever since the Switch campaign they’ve been using skateboarding in advertising and marketing pieces for iPods, iPhones and now the iPad via iBooks textbooks. The still is from a video piece on their education web site. The skate footage is only a few seconds buried in a lengthy video, so it’s not really worth watching unless of course you want to learn more about the tablet computer that will one day rule your life. I am not trolling for a free iPad from Apple, because what I really need is a new Mac Mini. Come guys, you’re worth more than Exxon now, how about a product giveaway/review on Skate and Annoy? We are crushing the middle age Extreme!™ demographic here.

The Radical Dads sing Skateboard Bulldog. If the lead dad had offspring, they would call her “mom.”
