Didn’t wanna say it, but yeah. . .it was all shot on a RED. Ok, im playing. It was all shot on my new iPhone 4 that Im taking back next week. Sorry Apple, this phone was a serious blunder.

Experienced BMX stunt rider, Joshua Reeves, is originally from Massachusetts and plays no games when he is in the air. Biking for over 10 years on street and dirt, he has been able to develop skills and stunts that will place you on the edge of your—well, your seat.

I am inspired by Tony Dungy, Head coach of Colts. Here’s why. Tony Dungy is concerned about people. He is concerned about the present needs that his team faces, not only on the field, but also in their personal lives. He is a teacher, a motivator, a mentor, a coach, a leader. When I think about how he relates his work as a head coach to his relationship with God, I can’t help but see that this man see’s who is controlling the end result.

He was fired from his prior job for loosing the Super Bowl, but someone else saw the dream in him. He felt all hope was lost. I experienced that same thing in my career when I lost the job I loved at an award-winning design studio in Washington State. It seemed as if my design career went for a slump, and then soon after loosing my job, I broke my femur in a sports accident–but I strived to come back. You soon realize that the only important thing in life–regardless of what happens, is Christ.

Listening to his story, you will notice where that drive comes from. When you feel all hope is lost. When those who trusted you, now doubt you. You see where the fire comes from to keep going. It’s only, and ever will be–in Jesus. Check out this video, very inspiring. Very good videography as well.

The Classic
Graphic artist will always tell you that they wan’t to feel as natural as possible when painting or sketching. Then here comes the Wacom. I have been using Wacom for over 3 years and will say that I miss my old Graphire3 pen. But when I got the Intuos3 the pen looked as if it was shootin’ up on steroids. Then when I upgraded to the Intuos4 it toned up. But I still miss the old slimmer profile. Behold the Intuos4 Classic Pen. The Intuos4 Classic Pen has the same feature set as the standard Intuos4 Grip Pen but with a slimmer profile. With its optimum weight and balance it fits perfectly in your hand.

The Grip Pen
I must honestly say that it’s nice. It’s slimmer, lighter than the old Intuos3. But It’s not a classic. I just don’t feel right when im painting or doing some heavy brushing. And since I have trashed my Intuos4 mouse all together, I use my pen every day, 8 hours a day. I think im developing a callus on my wrist—I will soon fix that. SmudgeGuard has a great solution to that problem. I remember when I use to use the old Intuos2 it had the clear classic pen. I really liked that one. But I think it’s time to invest in a classic.
