Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar







You’ve seen how Omar gave his own input as to how he wanted his first signature shoe from Nike SB to look like; we wonder if he’s responsible for some of the strong colorways for some of the ZOS released or already previewed. Here’s a look at pair sporting Yellow Ochre and Del Sol, giving it nice tonal space boot look. The yellow on the sole’s planet and spaceship is also a nice accent. Available at Asian markets like Kasina. VIA sneakernews

Nokia n900


Ok I'll confess I am Nokia fan, so this might be biased. The internet tablet genes are strong in the Nokia N900 so connectivity and web-browsing are its greatest virtues. The large high-res display and great typing skills are the right kind of backup but we've seen plenty of similar packages already. We told you though - the N900 is different. It's a Maemo-powered phone with Mozilla browsing and all-you-can-eat connectivity. Call it good news, call it a good start or just call it good. Let's see if it calls back. One thing to definitely note about the Nokia N900 is the WVGA screen, which is not too frequent to see in other smartphones - platform limitations are hard to get around. There is of course the Vodafone 360 H1produced by Samsung and running LiMo, which even adds 16M-colors support, but it's very much a niche device. Now add the QWERTY keyboard, which turned out pretty comfortable despite the three-row layout, and things are starting to get there.

So, it's time we checked what the Nokia N900 can do for you and where it can possibly fail. A new OS (new to phones anyway) should be able to at least come close to the current crop of smartphone platforms and show a high enough development potential. For what we saw in our preview, the Maemo and the N900 may as well be even more ambitious. But if you take nothing for granted you've come to the right place. via gsmarena.com

Casio g shock




In the midst of a large scale global tour, the following will release out of the CASIO G-SHOCK camp for 2009 July. A number of releases revolve around their iconic offerings, the square-shaped DW-5600 and round-dial DW-6900. Another addition includes the more contemporary stylings of the G-8100. All in all, it’s nice to see some more colorful releases as these have traditionally been restricted to collaboration models.

Which if are you hiding behind?

IF I didn't have a wife and family
IF I had enough "pull"
IF I had money
IF I had a good education
IF I could get a job
IF I had good health
IF I only had time
IF times were better
IF other people understood me
IF conditions around me were
only different
IF I could live my life over again
IF I did not fear what "THEY"
would say
IF I had been given a chance
IF I now had a chance
IF other people didn't "have it in
for me"
IF nothing happens to stop me
IF I were only younger
IF I could only do what I want
IF I had been born rich
IF I could meet "the right people"
IF I had the talent that some
people have
IF I dared assert myself
IF I only had embraced past
opportunities
IF people didn't get on my nerves
IF I didn't have to keep house and
look after the children
IF I could save some money
IF the boss only appreciated me
IF I only had somebody to help me
IF my family understood me
IF I lived in a big city
IF I could just get started
IF I were only free
IF I had the personality of some
people
IF I were not so fat
IF my talents were known
IF I could just get a "break"
IF I could only get out of debt
IF I hadn't failed
IF I only knew how
IF everybody didn't oppose me
IF I didn't have so many worries
IF I could marry the right person
IF people weren't so dumb
IF my family were not so
extravagant
IF I were sure of myself
IF luck were not against me
IF I had not been born under the
wrong star
IF it were not true that "what is to
be will be"
IF I did not have to work so hard
IF I hadn't lost my money
IF I lived in a different
neighborhood
IF I didn't have a "past"
IF I only had a business of my own
IF other people would only listen
to me
IF and this is the greatest of them
all I had the courage to see myself
as I really am, I would find out
what is wrong with me, and
correct it, then I might have a
chance to profit by my mistakes
and learn something from the
experience of others, for I know
that there is something WRONG
with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time
building alibis to cover them.
Building alibis with which to explain away failure is a national pastime. The habit is as old as the human race, and is fatal to success! Why do people cling to their pet alibis? The answer is obvious. They defend their alibis because THEY CREATE them! A man's alibi is the child of his own imagination. It is human nature to defend one's own brain-child.
