The king of waterskiing is back on the road promoting his tour sponsored by MasterCraft. Jet fueld with Red Bulls and a truck the size of most homes in SE, Marcus and his crew are destined to have a great time andspread the good vibes across the US and Canada. You can check out the tour stops here with interactive Google Map.

The Face To Face tour will be the first of its kind in water skiing. For three months, beginning May 2008, Marcus and his crew will travel coast to coast in a custom Peterbuilt towing a 40th Anniversary MasterCraft boat. The tour will offer top notch water ski clinics, training programs, free ski days with a Pro, charity benefit days, public outreach days, celebrity appearances, gear demos, autographed posters, magazines, DVDs, film premieres and more. The tour will hit up four pro events throughout the summer and will travel over 12,000 miles bringing extreme slalom to the masses, on the lakes, rivers and swamps of the United States. Make sure you poke around the site, click the “Tour” link for specific dates and locations, and don’t miss a chance to catch the Tour this summer!

Dropped in to say hello to the Jukies at Definitive Jux Records. We had a great time and plan for some big things to come for their new website launch in June.

For those of you who don’t know, Def Jux Records is the home to some of the most amazing talent in the underground hip hop music scene. Sharing the ranks with Aesop Rock, Cage, RJD2, El-P, Murs and many more super gifted artists. I can’t wait to share more, but things will have to wait.

The truth is now.

We recently met up with Josh Sirlin of Fusebox Creative to discuss current and upcoming projects. The client roster at Fusebox is more than impressive, with accoldaes reaching Von Zipper, Fallen Footwear, Zero Skateboards, Armada Skis, Hyperlite Wakeboards and Mastercraft Boats to mention only a few.

Without wasting time we have already contributed to web development on the Black Box Distribution website (almost pulling every hair out while finding flaws in the Great Cirlce equation for the dealer locator - thanks to Paul for all his guidance). We are excited to work on more projects with FuseBox.

Coming up in 2008 - make sure to check out our work on the new website - that should be a blast.

It has been amazing here at pairodime.design - I have been networking with some amazing talent and have been helping to grown small businesses around the world through ecommerce development and serach engine marketing. I could not help but get a little sentimental during these holiday seasons. I found myself daytrippin’ on the good ol’ days.

I was born in 1978 so my good old days brought me back to 1984 - the time of Arcade classics like Dig Dug and Q-Bert. My family owned a TI-99/4A Computer, my brother and played on that machine from morning until our bedtime (8:00pm). This was our first introduction to cumputer language development. We spent entire weekends playing with code and trying to make Mr.Bojangles dance!

Its funny looking back on this now and seeing how impressive the BASIC syntax was. We were executing full function scripts at the age 6 on a computer that could speak to us (using the Speach Synthesizer add on component). I will never forget Parsec, A-Maze-Ing Race or trying to capture BigFoot.

I now program with PHP5, ActionScript 3, and all the webstandard javascript libraries - not quite Beginner’s BASIC, but amazing none less.

Have a holidays - I dedicate this post to my Aunt Lita and mybrother Miguel, both of whome have spent years dedicated to this fancy little machine called TI-99 - (oh and my parent for buying it and realizing what they had gotten into).
