A Geekish View of Life

Well they landed about a month ago.  For those who don’t know my GF and I have gotten longboards or long stakes if you will.  The boards we got are from a small, but quickly, expanding company out of New York called Bustin Boards.  We both got their Complex style deck with Gullwing Mission 1 trucks and 3DM Avalon wheels.  These are sweet sweet rides.  I use mine practically every day to get to work and back.  Best 180 dollars I ever spent.  But now I have the bug … and I want to start filling out my quiver of longboards. [insert pictures here]

Okay here’s yet another round up of neat Boing Boing links.

• Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century - A blog devoted to amazing vintage facial hair.
• Pinstripe Star Wars Portraits - A group of shirts with funky pinstripe pictures.
• Revolution in Jesuland - an interesting look into progressive Christianity, give it a look it’s not quite the paradox that it seems.
• LOL Cats Bible - Because people that can’t find humor in this aren’t trying hard enough. It’s a wiki so if you think you’re more lol cats than most you can edit it.
• Surf style Ramones - This is cool in it’s own weird way.  And another reason why cover bands can be cool!  The Ramones crossed with the Ventures = cool.
