Allan Gibbons Skunk Works

If I were mildly rich I’d have an contract for 5 of Allan Gibbons’s skunk work specials every month.

“there are kinks in the outline- sort of large, extended wings- one set for the front foot, one set for the back.”

Skills are way up there with Hess and Cherry. Added bonus is that the web site and photos are pretty slick too.

The Upsetters - 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle - One of the first dub albums to surface from the mega watt depths deep inside Jamaica circa 74. Originally released in a batch of 300 LPs, now available at your finger tips remastered and restored. If you don't have this, do yourself a favor and jump into the abyss.

Think Baja violence is confined to TJ? Yeah, I did too. I stopped 6 hours south in El Rosario for tacos last Friday, on Saturday there was a drive by shooting at the La Mijita loncheia. La Mijita is popular with locals and gringos and by all accounts was run by generous people. The targets were 3 'self employeed' area men, but the husband and wife owners were hit by stray bullets. The wife just passed away.

Malwitz Surfboards is attempting to raise 2000 dollars for Surfrider by building a board for one lucky raffle winner. Tickets are 1 for 5$ or 5 for $20. Just one ticket gives you around a 1 in 400 chance at winning a new board. Sick idea.

Warbles is having a good time with this whole, "the bodysurfer won, and the poser lost, therefore the world is going to be a better place, we hope" thing.

What if a building sized machine drove into a forest and started scooping up all the animals around you. That's what it's like being a tuna. I also like this microdocs film: big fish.
