I L’d my A O while watching the first night of the DNC on MSNBC last night when I saw this in the background… (the sign reads: “Bring Back Crystal Pepsi).

I’d sign that petition fo’ sho.

This is some footage I got of my uncle Joe a couple weeks ago singin’ and drummin’ at his beach party in South Carolina.

Awesome forward from my cousin Evan…

I don’t even know what to say about this musician, this guy is amazing… he’s my new source of entertainment and inspiration for my keyboarding future. Check out his videos here. He’s got a good act. Very original.

I must be a nerd fa sho’, because when I saw Nike’s new Hyperdunk X sneaks - with their throwback (or throwforth?) Marty McFly styling I knew I hads to get me some of these. (I must hum the Back to the Future soundtrack at least twice a week.)The real Nike Air McFly 

Why is it that the entire country was FREAKING out about gas prices shooting up a year and a half ago when it was around $2.90… but now that its over $4 everyone seems to sit back and take it? It obvious the oil industry can do whatever they want with the prices without dissent. And what’s up with predictions in the news always low balling… like in the Washington Post today it says gas prices are expected to climb 3% by the end of the year when It’s already gone up like 35% this past year. Uhhhhhh.

This little tweater beat out over a half dozen pigeons and squirrels to win the “2008 Lunch with Eric Sweepstakes”. The award? The butt end of a subway turkey sandwich weighing in at just over 34 grams.

I thought this story was pretty interesting… starving artists shoot music video using government (CCTV) surveillance cameras, then work the system by taking advantage of the “data protection act” to demand the footage - it kinda combines my disdain for Big Brother and love of pushing the envelope artistically…
