John Maeda / Lord of Dogtown SK8RBOI. Perhaps it is because I live in a pre-teen home where Avril Lavigne is considered something of a hero. What is that popular song? "SK8RBOI (Skater Boy)." My skateboard design by Mekanizm was released in Paris yesterday and is now available online. I have no athletic abilities beyond typing fast, and thus as a youth I did not partake in the activity of skateboarding. Watching Lords of Dogtown helped me to understand the spirit of skateboarding, although it did not teach me how to keep my balance. Maybe they will cover that skill in the event of a sequel to the movie ... I hope. S I M P L I C I T Y by John Maeda at the MIT Media Lab [Maeda's SIMPLICITY] 9:30:12 AM
