Barb Odanaka has a new book out called “A Crazy Day At The Critter Cafe” that features a skateboarding cow in it. She’s been hitting schools and libraries dressed as said cow in promotion of the book. You might think it odd that she’s so gung-ho on the skateboarding cow part, but she’s also the author of Skateboard Mom, a book that was on heavy rotation for the rugrats in the Kilwag house. As far as children’s books go it’s fun and cute. Plus, it’s about skateboarding and it won’t make you cringe.

Fanta has a commercial spot with animated skateboarders in it. I don’t know if they’ve ditched the Fanta girls, but they are channeling pro skateboarders who are channeling punk rockers. I haven’t seen this one on the air yet, anybody else? – Thanks to Seth Levy for the tip.

Sean Kenney spends a lot of time playing with legos, and so do I, but I don’t get paid. He sells aftermarket instructional books for making models, as well as sculptures and portraits. This is a “quick little experiment building 1:20 scale people.” And there you have it. I love legos. Some of Sean’s work has a certain quality to it that transcends the fact that it’s made out of legos. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip

If she was blonde I’d insert some sort of dumb blonde joke but that would be insulting to dumb blondes. This chic is on TV, the new 90210. From US magazine. – Thanks to Mrs Kilwag for the tip.

This is old footage for the most part, what with all the Cold War boards and spots that have since been torn down, but hey, it’s rad footage and Shane is a nice guy. Enjoy!

I got that last idea from Anathem a book by Neal Stephenson.

Another in the series of spring break videos. I imagine the series will come to an end when my son thinks I am not cool any more. When will this happen? Never coolest Dad ever. My Best written impression of Comic Book Guy. Plus you can see how it stacks up to the first two Spring Brokes… Grover Away

Not really a “where are they now” because we see him all the time. Wally Innoye is no stranger to the Northwest skateboarding scene. My wife spotted him on the cover of the latest Well Aware magazine. Wally is the new head chef and manager of the Bistro at Water’s Edge. Wally is a good sport, but I have to wonder if he groaned when the PR person said “What? We’ve got a former world class pro skateboarder on our staff? Let’s put him on the cover our magazine posing with a skateboard.” Wally was the last guest on Callin on Colin before he Colin moved to S&A and killed the show after one episode here. – Thanks to Mrs Kilwag for the tip.
