Burton’s Jeremy Jones Snowboard is a fantastic example of off the wall thinking that works well in the snowboard design environment.
Rewrite the laws of shredology.
Jeremy doesn’t let laws like physics, gravity, or city ordinances get in his way. The ultimate set of tools for the all-around freestyle specialist, Jeremy’s series gives him the power to step to any feature. His NEW 159 is a little wider, a bit stiffer, and more stable for those faster run-outs and bigger cliffs and kickers. The NEW Infinite Channel System™ offers unlimited stance options so Jeremy can easily switch it up in seconds.
If the board’s performace matches the looks, this is going to be one tough board to beat.
In the AOL era, forums and chat rooms were the place to be.
However, as Facebook and MySpace began sucking up everyone’s extra time, forums and chat rooms were suddenly slotted under poking and biting chumps on the Internet order of importance scale.
Fortunately, the forum has remained a vital source of information for some, and because of this, a set of laws and rules has slowly developed to make them more enjoyable.
Unfortunately, not everyone follows these rules, and internet anonymity means that there’s always someone who wants to ruin everyone else’s good time. If that someone happens to be you, then be sure to watch the following video for a quick lesson on How To Behave On An Internet Forum.
Pwned.
And from the same guy, and equally funny video titled “How To Ruin Xbox Live For Everyone Else”:
DidntYouHear is doing something big today. It’s bigger than big. It’s like a whole other country big. That’s because today, DYH is offering you the chance to become a dual citizen. That’s right. You, the used to be single citizen, now has the chance to be a globe trotting, multiple passport holding dual citizen, a proud resident of your current country, but also a proud new founding father of Sealand (or whatever other country The Pirate Bay decides to plunder). As a dual citizen, you will be able to come and go as you please, laughing at the limited mobility of your single citizenship friends. Ability to write your own rules? Check. Ability to download to your hearts content from a country with no copyright laws? Hopefully check. Ability to boast about your dual citizenship when most people can only claim just one? Definitely check. So what do you have to do to earn such a prestigious place atop the world of single citizenships? Spread the word. DYH is a growing community, but more people need to know about it. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your dog, just make sure to tell someone who can type, because they’re going to need to be able to type to earn you your citizenship. To enter, convince someone you know to post a comment for this post. Each time someone puts your name into their comment, you earn an entry. All they need to do is register, and then type the name that you registered with, and you get one spot. Each time your name is mentioned (by a different person), you get an additional entry. Then, on Sunday, one name will be drawn at random, and a donation will be made to the Buy Sealand fund in your honor, earning you a spot on the citizen list when the new country forms. All it takes is a small step towards a big change, and you never know where it might take you.
Edit: As a bonus, anyone who adds DidntYouHear to their Technorati favorites will earn an extra entry. Just sign up for an account (if you don’t already have one), add DYH, and you’re in the running. Technorati is the premiere blog search engine, and also a great way to keep track of your favorite sites, so you’ll never miss another sweet opportunity like this one again.
The Pirate Bay is trying to acquire its own country by purchasing Sealand, a small “island” made up of an abandoned gun battery near the UK “that was occupied, declared sovereign, and turned into an offshore data-center for sensitive information”. Kopimists can donate money to the cause with promises of “high-speed Internet access, no copyright laws, and VIP accounts to The Pirate Bay” for every citizen of Sealandia. If they can’t get enough money together for Sealand though, The Pirate Bay still promises to buy another small island somewhere and claim it as a sovereign state, so no investment goes unrewarded. I’d be interested to see just how far they could go around copyright laws if they did in fact become their own country, so donate now to a movement that could change the world.
