Battle of the Shops at ASR
At ASR this year they had the Battle of the Shops (BOTS) instead of having it up at the syndrome warehouse in vista. It was a good competition. After years of having shop rider jimmy cao do every single event, we had riders compete in their respective event. Sprigle on the tech, aric on the tranny, chris on the double set, and cato on the handrail. Believe it or not, the Worshop placed a whopping 4th place! 1 place away from the $1000 3rd place prize. So better watch out next year, the workshop will be top shop.
Chargers vs Panthers
Its finally football season and it feels good, well atleast until the last 2 seconds of the game. I only have 1 thing to say, dont worry charger fans, its only game 1 and theres 15 games to go. they started 1-3 last season and look how they finished. Just hang tight. if they go 0-4 then its time to panic.
ASR Weekend
The Semi-annual 3 day ASR/Agenda tradeshow was in town. We check out a whole bunch of vendors that we stock at willys workshop and peep the latest and greatest apparel coming out for the spring 09′ season. It was a really long weekend.
Labor Day
Spent the labor day afternoon with my fellow laborers. A bunch of events happened at the picnic such as, slosh kickball, flip cup: battle of the sexes, super duper relay races, and more flip cup. It was an all exclusive labor day olympics. But definitely a great time. Til next labor day…
First 2008 Fantasy Football Draft
I just had my first live fantasy football draft at 6am this morning. Im iffy about my draft results. I hate drafting last! all the top running backs are gone! i get to pick back to back but i have to wait 18 picks til my next pick! It sucks how many dope players can be picked. Oh well, its a practice test for my real $20 buy-in fantasy league.

On the Grind
ive been on a grind lately with freelance work and some awesome side projects coming up. There is a lot coming for the near future so hang tight and you will definitely not be disappointed.
Canon HF10 Test Footage
This is my first run at the HF10. I got it in the mail today and after work headed out to test my first shots at the Del Mar Beach, California. On the way there I had to read the booklet to understand how to use the little thing. Thats how new this thing is. I edited the footage in Final Cut Express 4 with the help of Magic Bullet Looks on my Macbook Pro. I can’t wait to use this cam again. Yah, i know, next time i need to level out the horizon with the grid guide on the LCD screen. Very very pleased with the camera though. Money well spent.

You can always find some relaxation and good weather at the beach.
Del Mar 20th Street.
Daily Grinding
It’s 4:44am and restlessness finds me in my sleep. … or maybe its the group of kids i hear at the pool being busted by cops.
I’m back from my short blog vacation. I’ve been busy lately with meetings and a whole bunch of side work. Since I got my camera(s) stolen, it seems like the design/web work seems to find me. I’ve been hit up left and right with web jobs and such. I guess what seemed to be a set back is actually a blessing in disguise. Thanks to those loved ones for all the moral support
Here are some photos from the past couple of days. I hope to be back here tomorrow.
This Is Gameday!
Me and kimtan officially got our season tickets for the soon upcoming season! this is pretty much like our 3 or 4th year, dude i cant even remember. but truthfully, this is going to have to be the year. There are so many expectations for this year and time is running out. You can find us in plaza 49 seats 5 and 6.
one of the 5 prime time/biggest games to go to, chargers vs patriots.
elijah, strolled into the shop in his stroller, which his is too big for, and rocked his merriman jersey. he for sure is ready for the season also.
