CatWorkout: PowerLifting: Catlift

Our handsome boy modeling cat, Godzuki, made his acting debut courtesy of Cat Workout, the Tai Bo of animal kingdom exercising! Thanks to Tara and Sean for giving our four-legged roommate his lucky break... this might be what we need for Disney to pay attention so we can retire and become animal stage moms.

Third Place Sports Influencer: Tony Hawk

Tony Hawk on Japanese television in 1984 (part 1) by Tony Hawk

Forbes has named skate champion Tony Hawk the third most influential athlete in the world beating out other sports megastars such as baller Shaquille O'Neal, race car driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., and multi-Olympic gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps. Aside from his winning slab superstature, Tony's rise in influence and fame rose with the help from the blockbuster videogame franchise, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater -- a game my husband Silvio is proud to have been the lead artist for, for the first couple of iterations. What a long way, skateboarding has come. And videogames too.

Good pal and tech journalist Daniel Terdiman interviewed Tony for cNet. Tony talks about technology, entertainment, charity-work, and skateboarding. He says, "More kids are skating than playing little league now... the same cities that are discouraging them aren't providing facilities for them. So I wanted to help bridge that gap and provide skate parks in low-income cities." Huh, really?! Wow, cool!

"Map of the Inner War" Recap

November 15, 2008 - 8:15 p.m. - Culver City, CA

Ed Templeton's "Map of the Inner War" was very well received by the hundreds of friends, family, and fans who turned up to support at Roberts and Tilton tonight. For the most part, Ed's crew is true and rolled up in full force to support their favorite pro skater cum artist. Go see the art and judge for yourself. I quite enjoyed viewing the snapshots of a life built on living.
