Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing about the revolutionary music player and basketball hoop in one.
Summer’s coming and it’s time to examine the new music scene outdoors. Household music systems aren’t quite as rugged (or as exercise enticing) as a basketball hoop.
Spalding has recently released its iHoop. It’s a combination basketball hoop and outdoor stereo system. Though the name obviously caters to ipod users the sound system should work with most MP3 players. The hoop contains an ipod compartment and control center in the hoops base, where the built in speakers also reside. The only catch is that the music is not battery powered, so an outdoor outlet is necessary to fully enjoy some warm up music before a pick up game. It makes more sense than trying to practice free throws with any MP3 player clipped onto the waist band of your shorts.

A Snow Improvment
Jessie Atkin posted a new blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the new device that will make you the MVP in snowball fights.
Lets be honest, its started to snow (in most places that get snow anyway) and it is time for outdoor winter activities. No, I’m not talking about skiing, or snowboarding (I don’t even get snow shoeing) I’m not even referring specifically to sledding, I’m thinking more snowball fights.
It’s difficult enough to pack a correct projectile (not any simple powder will work) add to that the awkwardness of gloves and the sensibility of fingers, and snowball fights become an all out battle of endurance and perseverance. Technology helps in all other areas of our lives, why not in the winter wonderland? (Especially in time for the holidays)
That’s where the Snowball Launcher comes in. It’s exactly what it sounds like. This particular advancement to extreme winter sports can shoot snowballs up to 50 feet (no mere athletic skill can give you the upper hand anymore) . Add to that the fact the launcher will pack snowballs for you (3 at a time) and it’s like a dream come true. See who doesn’t want you on their team now
