He is one of my all time favourites for sure. What struck me about watching him play was the way he moved and covered the court and then to be able to explode. I can't remember him ever getting credit as a great athlete though.

On a side note I picked up a pair of the Reebok Answer 1's for $5 from a foot locker that was closing down about 2 years ago. Played in them once and they felt heavy and clunky so shelved them. Played in them again last week as my hyperdunks well and truly have no cushioning left and they were solid. Have a feeling they will break in to be a great shoe.

nice!

cool url, shows the shoe and him playing in it:

I had the Reebok Question, and the Reebok Answer VII:



i remember loving the VII's.

i think everyone hates mosquitos. but, for my mom they are actually a serious problem. given her condition, if she gets just one bite, it itches nonstop for days.. I'm thinking about getting the area around the house treated with Terminix mosquito service. Has anyone ever done anything like that? Or have some magical solution? :f

I live in south florida so, they are all over the place right now.. and especially with the zika concerns, I need to try something.

If I stand in one spot in my backyard without constantly moving, i'll have like 10 on me.

- one-step RVJ x 3,3
33-34, pretty good

- DLRVJ x 3,3,3,3
not great at first so switched to submax sets of three. gonna go for PRs tomorrow, will see if i can get a buddy to throw lobs.

nice! getting up pretty good on those 1-steps. should be able to kill it tomorrow.

felt powerful today. that rest-lyfe.

jumps:
- dribbling around/layups for a bit
- didnt know what time this part closes, so I unfortunately rushed it a bit
- good news is, it closes at 10 PM i think
- L-SLRVJ max attempts: ~10 attempts, hit what felt like ~10'10 around jump 6 or so, on a single rim.. ~2" down my wrist. that jump was the one that was all blurry. A few other jumps felt like 10'9, maybe even 10'10, but didn't feel it as good.
- ~12 dunk attempts: got some really close ones.. but pretty much all of the footage is broken because of that blur issue

MR tuck jumps:
- 2 x 50
- tough

got a TON of programming done today.. been working on some weird "state machine" in ln-ui-core. I want this machine to work not only for ln-ui-reactflux, but, other ui's as well: ln-ui-shell, ln-ui-*. So, been losing my hair trying to figure out how to do that... after 2 days of struggling badly, things turned around tonight. The design is making some sense and it's really cleaning up all of the code.

So i'm very happy with it right now.

I basically want this one file to be responsible for EVERYTHING that goes on between the server and the actual client. So, it is basically the 'core' that sits between them:

https://github.com/adarqui/ln-ui-core/blob/master/src/LN/UI/Core/App.hs

so... all of that crazyness.. basically allows me to keep is crazy simple on the frontend side.. for example, ln-ui-reactflux literally uses this small bit of code to run actions through ln-ui-core:

instance StoreData Store where

  type StoreAction Store = Action

  transform (Goto route_with) st = do
    setLocationHash $ Text.unpack $ fromRouteWith route_with
    pure st

  transform action st@Store{..} = do
    (result', st') <- runCore st Start action
    void $ forkIO $ basedOn result' action
    pure st'

    where
    basedOn result_ act_ = case result_ of
      Start              -> pure ()
      Next               -> Dispatcher.dispatch $ SomeStoreAction store (MachNext act_)
      Done               -> pure ()
      Failure            -> pure ()
      Reroute route_with -> Dispatcher.dispatch $ SomeStoreAction store (Goto route_with)



which is pretty sick.. that means, ln-ui-shell will require a similar amount of code as well.. very tiny. There's other pieces of code that i'm using to communicate with ln-ui-core so it's not ONLY that small but .. but man i just reduced the amount of code in future ln-ui-* applications by like 1000% HEHE!!!

pretty coo.

ok next time I will try this with the "optical stabilization" turned off.. I think that may be causing this blur issue. I absolutely hate it.

EDIT: actually it's OFF.. WTF. literally every setting is OFF. wtf do I do?!?!

EDIT #2: I think I figured it out.. I enabled pro mode, then saw another "AF" setting.. which is "auto focus". So I slid it all the way to the right, and it became "manual focus". So I waved my hand in front of the camera, and I didn't see it "pucker/blur". When I re-enabled AF, it puckered. So, i'm going to leave this off next time I take footage. Hope this fixes it.. this blur issue is annoying af (no pun intended).


basically all of my dunk attempts got wrecked with the blur issue.

here's one of my best jumps, blurred to fu*k:





here's two more jumps that luckily didn't blur:

damn.. got up decent tonight on my max L-SLRVJ's. and i only did ~10 of them. Leg died around ~7.

then decided to try and land a dunk.. came pretty close. I should have definitely landed a few of them, but was trying to throw them down too hard.

both quads and left hamstring is really sore right now.

the court i went to was completed dead .. which was awesome.

damn, the fitness tests keep piling up.

Yeah haha that's all of them though, I did 3 counties for my test so one of them will hopefully pick me. 

Adarq, should I just keep rolling on with what I've been doing?  kind of 2 mile speed work I guess you can call it.

i dno tbh.. unfortunately my head is all over the place. you seem to be making steady progress though, so if that is the case, then ya i'd stick with it.

I also will get a 1 week pass for my old gym so I'll have access to the stepper which will substitute for the stairs.

nice



i never watched ash vs the evil dead, but, i dno if this is related.. that dude I used to train way back at MSC, has gotten into acting/comedy. He was in this parody called Ash vs Lobo:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9uKE3kwfOg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9uKE3kwfOg</a>

i dno if any1 remembers him (Derek Russo, Lobo in that video) from my old videos.. he's a cool dude.
