Boo
Ate on the ave today. We were about to go to Chipotle, but the line was about twenty people out the door. We knew about the free burrito for dressing like a burrito (aka wear foil), but we had no … Continue reading
Stranger Than Fiction
Pretty good. I started to get a little tired of Will Ferrell after his appearance in Wedding Crashers, but he nails the role of Harold in Stranger Than Fiction. I also really like Dustin Hoffman’s character. I appreciated all the … Continue reading
Highlights including the Vince Carter alley-oop against the Clippers in 2000. Fast forward to 2:30. If there’s a tribute video to Vince Carter, it always has this dunk. Other than that Scottie Pippen dunk over Ewing, this is the one … Continue reading
Black and white pictures of Seattle at night
I hope you enjoyed my miniature poem. I feel like these two pictures worked best in black and white. I could say something like it brings out the texture of the concrete but it’s mostly because the fluorescent lights in the foreground blow out the pictures and it’s even worse when you can see that the lights are orange. I have three more in color, so um stay tuned!
Predalien
At first I thought it looked Pred-y dumb, but I guess it’s not that bad, especially considering how much worse it could’ve looked. But it could be better. Either way, I’ve been pretty excited for this movie anyway, especially after … Continue reading
Boys becoming men, men becoming wolves. Short New York Times article talking about the Werewolf Bar Mitzvah clip on 30 Rock a few weeks ago.
Crossing the equator ceremony. Centuries-long tradition for sailors crossing the equator for the first time. Involves a lot of rotten food.
6 drunk elephants electrocute themselves. Party animals. I know, “You corny!” but it was worth it.
Leechblock Firefox add-on. This lets you easily block sites at certain times of the day. Or all day. At home, I blocked Myspace, Facebook, and Lifehacker. It helps keep me focused. But since I started blocking sites, Starcraft playing has … Continue reading
We’re learning Illustrator in class so I made this
[Update: This was actually for a Communication Design course. This isn’t the actual assignment, we’re supposed to draw a bunch of rectangles and make a web site wireframe. Not as exciting as palm trees.] Forgive me for the cheap post, … Continue reading
Chicken wings
The last few weekends I’ve tried a few methods of making chicken wings. About a month ago, me and Dan went to Wing Dome and feasted. As good as it is, it’s expensive. After tax and tip, it comes out … Continue reading
Philippines Two
There’s a dog camouflaged in the first picture. Heartbreaker. These are all still taken from the trip up Baguio. The last two are at the Lion’s Head, which is up the mountain and sort of signals the entrance to Baguio.
Videogames
It’s 2007. We have games with accurate shadows and enemies that make you forget they aren’t other people. We can have 16 on 16 Halo 3 matches. There are active MMO populations larger than small states. We can help Fold@Home … Continue reading
Philippines One
I shot 999 and I’m hoping to post 100, ten at a time. A lot are going to be from the trip to Baguio, shot out the window of a van. Here’s a little bit of jeepney wikipedia:
Jeepneys are a popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II and are well known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have also become a symbol of Philippine culture.
SNL Kanye West “Everything I Am”. Champion and Everything I Am on SNL. Freestyle at the end.
Subway changed their steak
I don’t know how late I am on this one, but Subway changed their steak to slices with dimensions around 1.5″x0.75″x0.25″. It actually looks like it was cut from a bigger piece of beef. Previous versions of the steak include … Continue reading
A bunch of guys with their shirts off shopped in A&F. Pretty amusing if you don’t mind a bunch of pictures of shirtless guys (and who doesn’t!) to read through how the whole thing went down. (Via Kottke.)
Western Digital My Book
In July I bought a 250GB Essential Edition My Book. Anyway, I can’t recommend it. I had all my pictures from the Philippines on it. Then I went to San Diego. When I came back I found out my new … Continue reading
My motivational bulletin board
Here is a glimpse into my room. This weekend I rearranged my bulletin board. Also I guess, except for the thumbtacks, I took off anything colorful. I was inspired by this Lifehacker post about Jerry Seinfeld’s “chaining” technique. Chaining is … Continue reading
Notorious B.I.G. “Get Money” video featuring Destro and Baroness. There’s a lot of these cartoon re-edit music videos. This is one of my favorites.
What I did this weekend
Friday My parents drove up to Seattle, scooped me and Dan up, then had a family outing at Muckleshoot Casino. It was prime rib and dungeness crab night at the buffet, which pretty much means food-heaven night for me. At … Continue reading
Nas reveals the title to his next studio album. Five letters, starts with N.
Hoop Dreams
Possibly the best ever example of fact being more fascinating than fiction. It follows the high school careers of Arthur Agee and William Gates, two kids from Chicago recruited by St. Joe’s–Isiah Thomas’s high school. Everything is shown year-by-year and … Continue reading
Spinning lady optical illusion. It won’t turn into some horrible ghost image and scream at you, I promise. It’s weird though, it’s a silhouette of a woman spinning in a circle. The direction she’s spinning depends entirely on the viewer. … Continue reading
Music links
Wu Tang – The Heart Gently Weeps. Raekwon, Ghostface, and Method Man verses on top of a beat using The Beatles’ “My Guitar Gently Weeps” sample. And the sample cleared. Here’s a video of RZA explaining the story behind the … Continue reading
The Condemned
You’re saying you don’t already want to see this movie? You’re wrong. It’s not exactly a Golden Globe 3rd-tier nominee, but I enjoyed it highly. I also happened to be watching with possibly three people in Stone Cold’s top-100 fans … Continue reading
The Lookout
Watch this immediately. Don’t check Rotten Tomatoes, it has an 88% but some of the quotes are sort of revealing. A few people have called it a Memento ripoff. Those people are called Memento fanboys. The main character, the guy … Continue reading
The Heartbreak Kid
The first half hour is actually pretty funny. Then they get married and it’s downhill from there. It runs for two hours but it feels like three. It seems about five years behind its time. Then again, a good percentage … Continue reading
Today I made an omelette, cleaned, watched some football
and oh yah, went to the STARCRAFT WORLD CYBER GAMES FINAL! Kind of a dream come true to finally see Starcraft live. Me and Dan entered the Qwest event center and it was like walking into a Youtube clip. Very … Continue reading
Las Vegas One
Jason presents the city to investors or something like that. We got lucky at one point and got to ride the monorail by ourselves. And a few pictures from a store possibly similar to what OJ robbed.
Be Kind Rewind trailer. Jack Black is magnetized and erases all the tapes in Mos Def’s video rental store. He only has one customer (an old lady), so they decide to re-film all the movies.
Impossible is Nothing. A video resume made by some guy for a wealth management company. Here’s his Wikipedia entry. Anyway, the best thing about the whole thing is the parody that Michael Cera (George Michael Bluth, Evan) made, Impossible is … Continue reading
Dove Evolution commercial. Just watch it if you haven’t seen it. It’s not long. And here’s a spoof.
Simpsons episodes referencing movies. A bunch of stills from The Simpsons compared to their movie counterpart.
A short message from Hung
Thank you to all my supporters. To the others, you all have valid points about why I shouldn’t have won–just kidding. The edits to the raw footage make it seem like I have a big ego and that I think … Continue reading
Vegas Billboards
Shot these in the car as the Luxor beam got brighter and brighter. I was kind of a 9 out of 10 in excitement. I thought this was a pretty good idea but I guess I didn’t have the shutter set fast enough.
Shooter
Pretty good. Marky Mark has pretty much an identical role in Four Brothers. There’s even the same shot of him walking toward the camera from the distance surrounded by ice, but this time it’s snow. It’s not exactly the deepest, … Continue reading
Wall-E movie trailer. Apparently there’s going to be no vocals. But I skimmed whatever article that was pretty fast. Summer 2008.
