Esquire magazine is leading the new digital revolution. Another digital revolution, not the 1985 one using Mac’s, or the 1994 one using the web, but an altogether better, uh, revolution. This latest revolution using E-In - the stuff that Powers the Kindle and similar to Sony’s Ebook reader (if not the same) means print magazines can finally jump 100 years ahead of where they were and display digital text on their pages. Although this version is a bit ropey - even the publisher is calling it 1.0 technology (I’d call it 0.5), it could lead the way to a true revolution - meaning the entire magazine is no longer printed on ink/paper but produced using a flexible screen. When that day comes, I’ll be the happiest guy in the media world.

I just got my hands on a pair of Adidas CSC sneaks (thx Chad)… They completely rock. These rare shoes (try and find a pair on Ebay!) are a collaboration between CSC and Adidas to create their own version of the Top Sala. This black shoe features red and gold accents, which are traditional Chineses colors as well as the team’s colors. Only 350 pairs of these special shoes will be available worldwide. They were released on June 14th and you are pretty much SOL if you need a pair. Sorry guys. In the meantime, I’m still looking for a pair of Ivan Lendl’s or Forest Hills….

Having been a Netflix subscriber for a couple or 3 years, I was pretty pleased when they started the “watch now” streaming service. It’s pretty good when you’re on the road, but not so good watching at home on a laptop… That changed with the launch of the Roku Netflix player. Before I go any further, stop what you are doing, ie, reading this blog, and click here to go buy one.
