From the Lawrence Kansas Journal-World comes a weird and pointless hybrid: Writing that’s not an opinion piece, and not a news piece… Writing that, without emotion, conviction, or direction, natters about a situation. At some point, the writing ends. La Kid would call this piece random.

In the beginning, there was the roller skate, then came the skate board and later the Rollerblade. So what’s the next conveyance that we’ll be strapping to our feet to roll around the street? Orbitwheels move sort of like inline skates, but a wheel rotates around your feet, instead of under them. The large donut-shaped wheel whirls around sideways, letting you do all sorts of crazy tricks and spins with relative ease. click to view ...

Maybe it’s too expensive. Maybe you’re too shy. Some people just plain do not like the gym. It can be boring, intimidating, and it can seem somewhat redundant. The good news is there’s another way. Sports! Here we’ll take a look at what I feel are some of the most appropriate alternatives to the average gym routine. In my eyes an ideal fitness program should consist of a few key elements. Full bodied, primitive movement ...
