And, judging by this, so is Peyton Manning. Reminds me of the United Way SNL skit, except with grownups and it’s for real.
Yep, DeShawn Stevenson is crazy.
Nike Soccer commercial. I imagine this type of commercial would translate well to other sports.
David Blaine holds his breath for 17 minutes. On Oprah. I understand the backlash in the past few years against him because, you know, since he’s crazy. But this is truly impressive. Holding your breath underwater is something we’ve all … Continue reading
Charles Barkley donut taste test. From Inside the NBA last season. I remember watching this last year and thinking about how I needed to watch more Inside the NBA.
The best of NBA in slow motion. In HD. I get the sense that my computer doesn’t meet the minimum requirements. Still really cool.
Five things I think about work
The new layout was sort of focused on getting the text closer to the center of the page, but then I realized I barely ever have new entries, so I decided to write one today. Today marks one month since … Continue reading
Onion News Network: Anonymous Philanthropist Donates 200 human kidneys. Genius. Click around, most are pretty good. Like this one!: NHL star called up to big leagues.
Realigning the site
I’m making a few changes to the site. I’ve been fairly stubborn about having the horizontal layout on the photos. I don’t actually go through all the photography posts that often, but it seems like it’s about time to take … Continue reading
Deception
First time in a long time that I went to a movie without knowing what sort of reviews it was receiving. And it reminded me of why I keep up with movie reviews. It has Wolverine and Obi-Wan. Hugh Jackman … Continue reading
Ray Allen the semi obsessive compulsive. An interesting peek into Ray Allen’s pre-game routine.
Music Soundtrack
Took this from Dan from Garsh from MySpace. Opening Credits: “Bebot” – Black-eyed Peas Waking Up Scene: Theme from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Ok this post has a lot of links. I imagine you won’t click through all of them, … Continue reading
ESPN The Magazine’s blog with a bunch of links documenting T-Mac’s playoff struggles throughout the years.
Video of eagles dropping goats off of cliffs and coming back to scavenge. Exactly what it sounds like, so if you don’t want to see eagles dropping goats off of cliffs and coming back to scavenge, don’t watch.
Outside my house
Janice said I should take pictures of where I live. Here are a few shots outside the house and around the neighborhood. I’m renting a room in a townhouse. When I tell people where I live, the response is sometimes, “Oh the place with the stucco and faux Tuscan exterior?” And they say it like it’s a bad thing. I don’t I don’t know if I’m not cultured enough or something, but I like it.
Do you smell what Barack is cooking. Fast forward to the middle. The best part is how happy Obama is when he finishes saying it. Sort of reminds me of when Tiger Woods says “for shizzle”.
San Jose road trip: Nine
San Francisco Urban Hike 2008. I found out yesterday that the taxi up the hill to Huf would’ve cost probably $7, but I guess I wouldn’t have been able to take these pictures.
Un-live blog
Here are my phone messages from today: 12:34pm Sat: Trying to take public transportation from San Jose to San Francisco. Wish me luck! 12:46pm Sat: IǃÙm at the CalTrain station by HP Pavilion. I imagine Kanye and company are in … Continue reading
Darjeeling Limited
This was my first time watching a Wes Anderson film, and I can definitely see the appeal. I imagine it’s a love it or hate it type movie. The whole idea of brotherhood is handled well—Adrian Brody, Jason Schwartzman, and … Continue reading
2008 NBA Playoff picks
West quarterfinals LA over Denver (6); Houston over Utah (7); San Antonio over Phoenix (7); Dallas over New Orleans (6) East quarterfinals Boston over Atlanta (4); Washington over Cleveland (6); Orlando over Toronto (7); Detroit over Philadelphia (5) West semifinals … Continue reading
2007 NBA Playoffs, Warriors vs. Mavericks, Game 6. This might kill some time. I just picked a game to link to so I could point out that Hulu has entire NBA games. 1:25:30 is a sequence I remember well from … Continue reading
1996 Western Conference finals NBA on NBC intro. Different videos from the crowd in yesterday’s home closer: one, two, three. Dan says it was basically awesome being there.
These SNL clips are a few weeks old. Tracy Morgan on Weekend Update promoting Obama. Part of it is in response to when Tina Fey returned to Weekend Update and promoted Clinton. And here’s the Walken family reunion, with nearly … Continue reading
Jemele Hill’s ESPN MVP ballot. One of her reasons for picking Kobe, “Besides, if Kobe doesn’t win it this year, he may go down as the greatest player to never win an MVP.” I understand the career achievement thing, but … Continue reading
Where I work and a little bit about the night life
View Larger Map If it looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere, that’s because it is. Relatively. That’s basically the southernmost part of San Jose. Google, Apple, Meebo, and a whole lot of startups are probably 20-30 minutes north. … Continue reading
San Jose road trip: Five
Lost Coast Brewery. I really enjoyed this place. The fries had some kind of lemon/Parmesan thing going on and the calamari was probably the best I can ever remember having. But I’m always saying so-and-so is “the best I’ve had/watched/remember” so take that with a grain of salt. So hey, if in the off chance that you happen to be driving through Eureka, I recommend stopping here.
Kobe’s dunk against the Hornets. That’s the original broadcast. Here’s the slow-motion from the end of that broadcast. And here’s a Blair Witch from-the-stands clip. I guess while I’m at it, here’s the commercial of him jumping over an Aston … Continue reading
San Jose road trip: Four
Images aren’t all the same height. So I just changed the width and height in the image tag of the 2nd and 4th pictures. That’s why they look horrible. If the others look horrible also, then I’m just doing a bad job behind the camera.
The Mist
Comparing movies based on Stephen King stories, I liked 1408 a little more. But this has Tom Jane, who I didn’t realize was actually a real actor when watching the Arrested Development episodes. Same thing with Judge Reinhold. So that … Continue reading
Poolhall Junkies
Imagine Rounders. Switch the poker for pool. Switch Ed Norton and Matt Damon with a bunch of really bad actors. I’m not gonna lie, what you have left is still fairly entertaining.
Eight hours is longer than I thought
I just wanted to check-in before I head to bed. In the next week or so I should be updating more frequently, but I always say that. I’m getting into my routines and that “next week or so” estimate is … Continue reading
Knicks season in photos. Hilarious.
Tiger vs. Lion. I was thoroughly entertained.
