Google Office in Zurich
Seeing such offices makes you wish you were working for Google. They have everything a person needs in there and even more. They have massage chairs, slides, pool tables and other games, private cabins and much more. These photos are from Google office in Zurich.

Mr.Dizzle on MOJO
Funny! I was just surfing the endless You Tube waves and notice a familiar face on one of the thumbnails in front of me. Dizzle spreading the good word.
BALLIN ASS POOLS
Some of the world's most incredible swimming pools are in hotels and resorts. From the serene to the bizarre, here is a list 12 of my favorites from around the world.

Holey Eggs
Modern egg master Franc Grom creates eggs which give Ferberge a run for his money. Grom uses a small electric drill to create approximately 2,500 to 3,500 holes in each eggshell. Inspired by traditional Slovenian designs, he has been known to pierce a shell as many as 17,000 times. They?re so fragile and beautiful. Imagine the patience!

?Forum or Against?em?
It?s mid-March and Forum?s new feature film, ?Forum or Against?em?
is in full swing. A dedicated web site for the movie, as well as a hard
hitting media assault will surface in the coming months to keep the
hype alive through the warmer months.
About Forum or Against?em:
The team?s winter journey is being documented in full color, by veteran
Forum filmers Jeremy Pettit and Kurt Heine. Joining the crew behind
the lens is Nathan Yant (of Volcom Escramble Fame) and Defective Film
members Sean Johnson and Ilari Suhonen. In charge of the stills
(once again) is Cole Barash, along with Ian Ruhter
(Transworld Senior Photographer), and Oli Gagnon
(Snowboarder Magazine Senior Photographer). With the best in the
business on both sides of the camera, expect a HUGE year in both video
and print media.

Eastern Canada hosted the street scene December thru mid-February.
Eddie Wall, Nic Sauve, Pat Moore, Jake Welch, Travis Kennedy, Stevie
Bell, and Joni Malmi spent the majority of the time picking apart
Montreal, Quebec, and Calgary. In those two and a half months,
progressive tricks laid the groundwork for the jib aspect of their video
parts.
While rail trips were underway in the East, Jake Blauvelt and John
Jackson were held up on the Western Side of Canada. With a heli-trip
to Terrace BC under their belts, along with countless days sledding in
Whistler, these two, along with part-timers Peter Line and Pat Moore,
have documented more days in the pow than all of us office dwellers
combined.


With one more rail trip on the calendar, the rest of the crew will soon
be migrating west with gassed sleds, transceivers, and shovels to join-
in on the late season pow. John Jackson and Eddie Wall are both
recovering from pretty serious bone bruises on their knee, but will be
back in the game by the end of March. Both are sitting comfortably on
A+ footage, so should have no problem finishing up with the expected
bangers when the directors call ?cut? for the season.
Unfortunately, Jake Welch?s knee didn?t fare as well as his teammates,
as he is currently out for the season with a blown ACL. His surgery
went well, and doctors claim that everything should be 100% when
healed.
Jake?s working hard rehabbing, and we wish him a fast and full recovery.
In the little time Jake spent filming, he managed to be super-productive
and secured himself a short, but technical part.
For?am Update
In For?am news, 17 year-old Greg Bretz has been on a tear in the pipe
circuit. With podium finishes in both recent Grand Prixs, and World
Cups, Greg has been chosen to represent the US Snowboard Team.
We wish him and the rest of the riders the best of luck in the US Open.
Joining Greg this week is Trevor Jacob, Cameron Pierce, Niko Cioffi,
and Daniel Ek, all of which you?ll see more of this fall.

20 Paces

Before JP Walker and Jeremy Jones, jibbing was dead. No one can deny
that once that first Utah step was shoveled, boarders of the world no
longer needed to rely on their local resorts to conjure up terrain that
would help them mimic their skateboard daydreams.
From Mitch Nelson?s Farmington funbox to the SLC Rail Garden to the
Burlington High School staircases, for over a decade the steel and ?crete
of the cold country has been routinely slaughtered by this duo. Yet JP
and Jeremy?s influence doesn?t stop at the snowpack, as every aspect of
our sport, from the equipment to the terminology to the media, has felt
their influence firsthand. ?Do-rags, team videos, nose presses,
double kinks?the list goes on and on. This month?s Twenty Paces
exposes two of snowboarding?s most influential and controversial
icons as they refocus their efforts from getting the last part to getting
the last word.

BENDER
A few of us have been on a bender these days, here is something I found funny in light of our boozy factor recently...

If you've ever wanted to get back at someone, or just get your friend completely plastered for their birthday, we've compiled a list of awful tasting shots that are sure to lay anyone out. We can take no responsibility for the after effect of these drinks. Just duck or move out the way, cause they're sure to start something!

An experimental animation exploring the "Stratastencil" technique that I've devised. Inspired by the Stratacut technique, Stratastencil is an additive process. Stratacut removes material to reveal another layer, while this technique adds another layer while still showing the layer before it.
