I really don’t think …

… anyone reads my blog anymore. :)

Anyway, CorSport has moved the offices and shop to a new location, we like it. We also just released an iPhone app, jump on the iTunes App Store and search for CorSport or Performance Parts, pretty slick little app.

Things over at the skateboard shop have been progressing nicely… can’t really complain, the recent cold weathers been putting a hamper on things but that’s to be expected in Colorado.

Business in general has been an up and down proposition lately, it comes and goes. Times are tough with the economy struggling to recover but overall this year is much better than last year, glad for that. Here’s to hoping for a quick and continued economic recovery.

Diabolical Round Two

So, for the last year or so I have been hard at work getting Diabolical, my old skateboard company back up off the ground and running. I have made some progress and thought I would finally share it here on my blog.

First thing was to setup the Diabolical Board Shop online and stock it full of inventory… and of course we needed a blog for the boardshop to post all our bullshit, our specials, our news, and photos & video. We have also just released our own boardshop decks, these are in addition to the other brands in the online shop.

If you need a skateboard, shoes, or whatever else…  hit me up, or check out the site.

When the old guard can’t believe the new guards claims…

Absolutely hilarious. Some of the best proof that the old big business mentality and it’s old school companies are dying.

The Ecafe

If any of you remember my first business …

… the links at the bottom of that page are for you. Mark, Kevin, Chris, Frank, Alex, Brian, Ken, Aaron, etc… you guys out there? I was pondering a gallery and forum install.

An Incredible Visionary

Silver has devised a pair of glasses which rely on the principle that the fatter a lens the more powerful it becomes. Inside the device’s tough plastic lenses are two clear circular sacs filled with fluid, each of which is connected to a small syringe attached to either arm of the spectacles.

The wearer adjusts a dial on the syringe to add or reduce amount of fluid in the membrane, thus changing the power of the lens. When the wearer is happy with the strength of each lens the membrane is sealed by twisting a small screw, and the syringes removed. The principle is so simple, the team has discovered, that with very little guidance people are perfectly capable of creating glasses to their own prescription.

Incredible. More about it here.
