As far as skateboards go, it’s quite rare that you see one that is of the all-natural variety. The folks over at 31 & Change, the Chicago-based furniture company — founded by former graphic designer and creative director Kurt Lenard — created a skateboard based on their ethos of designing “with a twist, a wink and a smile in mind.” Each item they make is hand crafted from American wood at 31 & Change’s Chicago studio.

For the summer of 16 — pardon the Drake reference — Lenard and his team released 16 of their Logan Blvd. skateboards. Each one is completely different because, well each one comes from a different part of the tree. Lenard put on trucks and wheels in a number of colors — purple, green, transluscent blue, light blue, pink, orange, yellow, red, fuschia.

The skateboard works for just about anybody — tech start-ups, bearded and tattooed hipsters, and it’s cool enough for anybody else who wants a skateboard that is sure to get attention. It’s just about as organic you can get, and the one-of-a-kind boards are made from 100 percent real hardwood slabs, so you can see all the natural awesomeness that they come with. We’re talking about all the edges, knots, hole and bark that you don’t get from those plywood boards that are covered in graphics and stickers.

And if skateboards aren’t you thing, be sure to check out 31 & Change’s other “urban rustic” tables, coat racks, and more that are all natural hardwood with a pop of color.

Will ‘Bad Monkey’ get a season 2 at Apple TV+?
The show is based on a book of the same name that has a sequel
Vince Vaughn in Bad Monkey

Apple TV+ is slowly but surely building a library of interesting TV projects. Bad Monkey, which aired earlier this year on the streamer, was just one example, adapting a novel of the same name and bringing in Vince Vaughn to star.

Now, Variety is reporting that the show will be back for a second season. There is a sequel to the original novel, which was written by Carl Hiaasen, titled Razor Girl, but Variety's reporting suggests that the second season will not be based on that novel. In spite of that creative departure, creator Bill Lawrence said he has nothing but admiration for Hiaasen.

Get up to date on everything we know about The White Lotus season 3

When the first season of The White Lotus premiered in 2021, few could have suspected that it would become one of the best shows on HBO and Max. Even series creator Mike White considered The White Lotus to be a six-episode one-off story. But viewer response to this dark comedy show was so strong that White and HBO realized that they had a hit on their hands. That's why the series was quickly renewed, and the second season premiered on HBO and Max in 2022, just a little over a year after the first season.

The White Lotus season 3 was confirmed in November 2022, and fans have had to wait over two years for its return. Audiences can finally expect the series to be on their screens again shortly after the calendar flips to 2025. We're gradually getting little tidbits about season 3. We're sharing everything we know about The White Lotus season 3, which includes most of the cast, the theme, and the setting, as well as when fans can expect the show to return.
