Tron Legacy (2010) Trailer (HD)

Never saw the orginal, or had any interest to. but this looks sooo dope. I hope they take the same approach they did with the new Star Trek movie. Where you don't need to know anything about the history and it can simply be enjoyed as a great science fiction action flick.

'Where the Wild Things Are' Featurette

Super excited for this!

Melbourne's Iconic Theater Buildings

Wow this is truly magnificent. I'm officially adding Australia to my "Places to visit list". You can count on Ye posting this as soon as he sees this. I always wanted to hit up Sydney, looks like i'll be headed here as well now.

Wings + Horns Fall/Winter 2009

A.P.C. Bomber jacket

I love details in this jacket. I've never wanted to buy this style of jacket in my life till now. Keep up the good work guys. Might have to add this to my christmas wishlist since B-day just passed (happy belated to me).

60.000 pictures, developed 9.600 prints and shot over 1.800 pictures again another dope stop motion video has been created.

One of my goals this school year will be to create one of these. This one has given me so much inspiration. I might even storyboard it over this summer.

I need this in my house

In remembrance of MJ

Two of my favorite songs/videos from the Pop Legend. I was gonna post stuff from thriller but everyone doing that. Plus I enjoy both of these songs much more than anything on that album.

R.I.P. MJ, Pop Icon, Legend, and arguably the most famous person in the world.

Dear NYC...

Maestro Knows - Tour Edition (Episode 4) from Maestro Knows on Vimeo.

props to Maestro for this video. I never really understood the purpose of his videos, and still don't. But I can tell that this guy and I share a lot of the same interests. More importantly i know we can agree on thing; NYC is DOPE. This is video brings back memories of a lot places i would go to on a weekly basis. And I really miss a lot of these spots and people. Including Dave's Quality Meats and 10 Deep in particular. I know I'm on the path back there now, and I can't wait to get back.

Bedwin Fall/Winter 2009

good stuff minus those uggs. smh.

Hajime Sorayama x OriginalFake No Future Companion

Dear significant other please buy me this. Thanks.

It's been awhile....

Hey guys,

I know it's been awhile since my last but a lot of stuff has happened over the last few weeks. I'll give you guys a brief overview.

First, I went to Bonnaroo the weekend before last. Special thanks goes to Emilo for hooking me up with a free ticket. Overall it was a great experience aside from: the tornado warning on the first night, a destroyed tent, and 2 blown tires on the way back. I'm not really an outdoors person at all, I'm a big city-boy at heart, but the music made the whole thing worth it.

time

My best NYC bud, Reggie Co-Founder of ATG, snagged a media pass for festival and together we got some great coverage of the festival. I was in charge of photography and capturing videos of the festival. It was the first I was really able to get a taste of what it was like to be apart of the press for a major event. I was able to utilize my growing knowledge of photography and video and put it to work. It was a great feeling. We went to a few press conferences, talk to a few indie-celebs, ate catered food, and most of all we enjoyed clean bathroom facilities.

In terms of coverage; we got some shots of a few hip hop acts including: MURS, Snoop, and Eryka Badu. All shot by yours truly. We also got an exclusive interview with Chuck D, from the legendary hip hop group Public Enemy. In addition to that we got great footage from their performance as well as backstage footage of Beastie Boys performing a new song with Nas. You can check all that out plus more at here. Just click on the heading in red labeled Bonnaroo. You can also follow us on the Twitter @ http://twitter.com/AThousandGrams. You can look at our live updates from the mayhem that was Bonnaroo.

Second, I finished my spring classes!!! It feels great to be done with school even it's just for a little while. I think I will either receive a A or B in my class.

And last but not least, I LANDED ANOTHER INTERNSHIP GIG!! AND IT's PAID! from now until mid-late august, I will be interning at Radio Disney at their Orlando Station. It should be a great experience. I'll be working directly with the station manager (AKA the Boss). I've been applying almost relentlessly for internships across the country (but mostly in NYC and Chicago) in hopes that I would get one in an industry and company that I interested in. And out of the 25+ that I applied for this was the one I wanted the most. Even though, I met the criteria of the type of candidate they wanted I thought I wouldn't have a shot. Mostly because I don't go to a prestigious school and I don't have 4.0GPA. Although the odds seemed against me I still applied. I spent hours on end composing the best damn cover letter that I could. I had all of friends who I write professionally or for leisure look at it. I was also able to get a letter recommendation from the VP of Finance at my previous internship. I tried to think of anyway that would help differentiate myself from the pack. After all that, I prayed about it, nearly everyday. I knew in order for me to have chance of getting the job out of the hundreds that applied I would need God's favor. Thanks to everyone that also prayed for me while I was awaiting their decision. It really means a lot to me. Although I didn't land the NYC position, mainly because time constraints and other conflicts were going on during that the window of time. I'm glad, blessed, and happy to be where I am now. Plus ABC-Disney is a huge company with tons of opportunities to get into media so theres no telling that I wouldn't be working in their NYC station once I graduate. Being here gives me a whole new experience and perspective on life. Which one of the most important things I saught after. And I know NYC isn't going anywhere, I know I'll be there sooner rather than later.

Today was my first day of work. It went well, even-though I didn't know exactly what to expect. I'll be working with all departments in the station. I could definitely see myself doing this as a career and doing music photography jobs as a side job. Ideally that would put me in a great space. More than anything I want to be able to love my work. I want to be one of the few people in the world that can honestly say that they love their job. And I definitely think I'm moving in that direction.

Now, I know that was a lot and I apologize for grammatical errors you may of come across while reading this. Let's back to the purpose of this blog. Posting cool nerdy stuff.

I found this video while I was checking one of my favorite designers, Jeff Staple's Blog. I can't imagine how long this took but a job well done nonetheless.

Subaru Impreza Concept

So this concept was done by a Subaru enthusiast named, Lars Martensson. All have to say is, SUBARU PLEASE MAKE THIS. I would buy it. here is the current one:


yeaaahhhh no need to say anymore about this uninspiring vehicle.

Blame it (Obama Spoof)

this is genius!! I actually digg the original song alot, aside from the ignorant premise of it all. it's just a fun song to listen to in a club, of which I've been in a lot of lately. With it's impersonator cast and high production value, this spoof is mos def a win, win.

Other things: I'm once again, I'm super pumped for seeing my boys perform this coming Tuesday. I been listening to their new free live album and although it's only 9 songs, it has everything it that makes their lives shows great in it. Which are: great vocals, the crowd's interaction, and Chris' corky commentary. Can't wait to hear Fix You live again, definitely my fav song live, that and in my place, and Viva's great too. This will be my 3rd show in the past 2 years and I have yet to pay a dime to go to any of them and for that, I am extremely grateful. Thanks to the boys, and my friends at Oxfam. Because of them I will probably never miss a show in wherever city I will be in.

Through their music they've taught me so much. Things that I have made me who I am today, so anything I can do to return the favor I will gladly do. I remember when I finally gave them a listen in 05' and they clicked almost instantly with me. I yearned to see them live being my luck, they had just finished their US Tour that year. I had to wait 3years b4 i got my next chance. Since then, I've never missed a chance to see them and plan never to for as long as I can.

enough of that; I'm contemplating going Bonarroo still. I definitely want to go but there are things holdin me back.... other then that something big looks to be on the horizon for me but I cannot to say until i know for sure (and I've been praying nearly everyday for it to happen). I'll let u all know as soon as I do.

I'm gonna try and post more now that the summer's hit. check me out on last.fm

Best Regards.

Jordan V - Toro Packaegeoro Bravo Package

Just when i thought the sneaker game was gettin alittle uninspiring and borning.... they take it back to basics.... With the J5 pack, Nike sticks to their guns while still remaining refereshing with the red colorway. I'm feelin both. the Black more so. Pics dont do these shoes proper justice you have to seen them on, but this will have to do for now. I'm not a Nike man, nor a jordan fan for that matter, but these and the 4's are the exception to the rule.

NEXUSVII x Porter Spring/Summer 09' Messenger Bag

I'm not a big fan of the messenger bag, but these are pretty dope
