GVK contest ends Sunday at Midnight
The end is near! The GVK Photo Manipulation Kontest ends Sunday at Midnight! Get those images done this weekend if you want a chance to win a free skateboard and some assorted schwag. This entry comes courtesy of Seth Berg. Of course if you just want a chance to win a skateboard without having to […]
Skateboard Park Tycoon
There are two things wrong with the Skateboard Park Tycoon game title. First, it should be “Skatepark Tycoon” or “Skate Park Tycoon.” Second, nobody really makes money running a skateboard park. Skateboard Park Tycoon combines a sims type atmosphere with all the fun of building your own pretend skatepark and and sitting there watching pretend […]
GVK photo kontest still wide open
Come on people. We still need your GVK Photo Kontest entries. This shot above is not an entry, just a composite to get you stoked. Mummified Grover is an out take from an old print issue cover shoot. There will be one deck from an undecided manufacturer in the prize package. I’ve compiled some of […]
Post number 2000!
Lest you forget, Skate and Annoy has been online since 1996, when the content was sparse and very, very stagnant. Around 2000 I started putting up a lot more static html in fits every now and then. Actually, “fits” is an appropriate word. You never knew what would set off an update, but certain events […]

GVK – Live from the delivery room!!!
Yes indeed, the Grover family had a baby girl on Friday, tentatively named “squeak.” Ok, that’s not true. The name is what they are calling her until they decide on the final name. Congratulations Steve, Alisa and big brother Jack. But seriously, I hope the next GVK doesn’t have any delivery room footage. Another picture […]
Servers going down
Our web host is moving their data center this weekend. Starting at midnight on Friday we may be down for 24-48 hours. With the track record of our host company, I’m predicting it will be more towards the latter, if not more. Of course I haven’t gotten moved over to a new company yet, but […]
It’s official!
My web host (IXWebhosting) sucks the big one. I’ve had repeated problems and headaches using them over the past couple of years. Yesterday we were down for about 16 hours before we got back online, and I had to spend almost four hours on the phone getting it fixed. Now that we are back online […]
