1. Charles Barkley is a character out of a cartoon world and these “rare” photos from SI show a glimpse into the man they call Chuck. –> Rare photos of Charles Barkey via Sports Illustrated

2. Adobe Photoshop turned 20 recently and it’s been my buddy since late in version 2.5 (no layers…if you can imagine that). Complex magazine did a great piece detailing the 50 greatest moments in Photoshop. –> 50 Favorite Moments in Photoshop History via Complex

3. Josh Cochran created this sweet new print called “Zombies Vs. Unicorns.” It reminds me of Fort Thunder, or more specifically Brian Chippendale stuff–and in a good way. –> Zombies Vs. Unicorns via Kitsune Noir

4. ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary series is in full swing and the one I’ve been waiting for is getting out there now. “No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson” directed by Steve James (“Hoops Dreams”). –> No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson via ESPN 30 for 30

It’s been a while since I made some new icons. Snow Leopard for mac has these new extra juicy 521×512 icons so it’s high time I got to it. In celebration of the new NBA season, I’m releasing some new extra big icons. I’m including the vista icons too, so don’t cry PC folks. Download the mac icns version. Download the PC ico file.

My cleaning/organizing is still going on–I know you all though it was over. I may be slow but part 3 is here! My prized Eric Snow miniature bobble-head had been awarded to a co-worker who I knew would appreciate it. Mr. Aaron Horton, of LMBAO.org, is the winner and his reaction was just as I hoped–joy and confusion.

Eric Snow, as if you didn’t know, was the point guard for the 2000-01 76ers and helped lead the team with Allen Iverson’s help, to the NBA Finals. He is the epitome of hard working, solid, good-guy (aka not as talented) NBA players. He is one of my favorite players and yes, I do own an Eric Snow jersey. So does Aaron Horton. I knew I picked the right guy.

As anyone who knows me knows – I’m a basketball guy, and the NBA playoffs are taking a huge amount of my personal time. The recent Bulls/Celtics series was great and I find it amazing that on the heels of that Kia and the NBA release this?
