KanJam

Only two days away!

Happy Tuesday everyone...only two more days until Christmas eve.

If you're like me you waited until the very last second to do any holiday shopping, so this is just a reminder that Kanjam will make a great gift for somebody of any age.

While it's too big to fit into a stocking, giving the gift of Kanjam will allow the recipient to enjoy your gift for years to come.

If this is coming off too much like an advertisement - well than you're too smart for me, because well, it is an advertisement.  You can buy Kanjam for a holiday gift at our website www.kanjam.com or any fine local sporting good store - I was just hoping you wouldn't catch on to the.

The Kanjam blog will be taking a few weeks off after today while I go on vacation, so from everyone at Kanjam have a great holiday season and a happy new year.

Until next time,

Alex

Happy Friday everybody!

Everyone at the Kanjam HQ, and probably everyone else on the east coast is preparing for a massive snow storm that the weathermen are positive will hit within the next 24 hours, so I'll give it a 75 percent chance of sun with 65 degree weather for the weekend...so if you're looking to play Kan Jam in decent weather this may just be the weekend to do it.

I'll assume that everyone is Tiger'd out, I know that I definitely am, so let's quickly talk about a new sports controversy that happened yesterday; Bob Knight, the man that made a career out of throwing chairs, being profane in press conferences, being a general dbag to the public and winning basketball games, called out John Calipari at Kentucky for not having integrity. The link below is the video:

Now I'm not disagreeing with Knight, obviously Calipari has a somewhat shady past with the Derek Rose situation at Memphis, and the Marcus Camby incident at UMass, but I just have an issue with Knight being the one to bring these issues up. It just reiks of hypocrisy to me.

Here is a link to Calipari's reaction

Not much there, except for the fact that he respects Knight and doesn't want to get into a "verbal war with Knight." Smart move Calipari, always best to respect your elders.

Ok...thank you for letting me get that off my chest, you can now resume your regularly scheduled weekend.

Until next time,

Alex

First snow of the season at the Kan Jam HQ's

Happy Friday everybody! If your living on the east coast I hope your enjoying the snow, I know we’re experiencing the first real snow fall of the year here at Kan Jam headquarters. If you’re living down south or to the west I hope you’re enjoying the fact that you get to wear shorts and sandals and laugh at us “eastcoasters” that have to deal with the snow. Enjoy the fact that you probably aren’t reading this post right now, that you’re probably outside enjoying the sun, playing Kan Jam.

Now that I have that off my chest, let’s go off the Kan Jam map for the day. The holiday season is literally right upon us so what was your favorite holiday memories? What gifts do you remember getting from childhood?

I’ll start:

I got a lot of cool gifts for the holidays including this laptop that I’m working on right this very second, but if I was going to rank my three most memorable holiday gifts it would go something like:

3. I’m a Seinfeld addict so when the first few seasons came out on DVD I had to get them just to hear the commentary by the actors plus all of the bloopers. So seasons 1-3 of Seinfeld would be third most memorable

2. Number one and number two are easy. Number two is the complete set of Beatles action figures. I got them when I was maybe 12 years old and they’re still standing in prominence in the famous Beatles stage position, though Ringo’s drums took a nasty fall a few years back.

1. As I said number two and number one were easy to come up with. When I was younger, maybe 10 or 11 I got the Wayne Gretzky Hockey game and instantly became addicted for the next year. Now this wasn’t your typical video game, this was a house version of bubble hockey where you controlled the players using the rods and everything. I was so enthralled by this game that I would practice against myself so I could beat my dad, and even kept standings, statistics, player records on the computer.

That probably says a lot about me that my three favorite holiday gifts of all time include Seinfeld, the Beatles and Hockey. In fact it definitely does because those would still be my three of my favorite things today.

What were some of your favorite holiday gifts?

Anyways, this year who’s going to buy a Kanjam for that special someone and make their wishes come true?

Until next time,

Alex
