(NSFW?) Gruesome Work Safety Video. I didn’t look into this too much but apparently it’s a real work safety video showing what can happen if you don’t follow safety precautions. Oh yeah, it’s also hilarious.

Terrence Jones signs financial aid package with Kentucky. From what I understand, he has until classes start to change his mind. I imagine UW’s only chance to get him now is if Calipari jumps to the NBA.

Mikhail Prokhorov’s statement to New Jersey Nets fans. I know that’s who it’s to because he starts it with, “Hello Nets fans.” He prefaces his championship ambitions with “If everything goes as planned.” I have a sneaking suspicion that the … Continue reading

Time Out New York lists the 30 best summer blockbusters ever. I guess I can’t speak for the movies before, say, 1990 since an essential part of experiencing a summer blockbuster is watching it in the theater that summer. Only … Continue reading

Drake performing a verse from ‘You Know, You Know’. (Via Nah Right.) Yeah, and you can spare me all the accolades, I’m the reason you can find my city on the atlas page. Half a million dollars later and my … Continue reading

These are pictures from Friday when we flew there, Friday night getting ready for Tao, Saturday walking the strip, Saturday night getting ready for XS, and some of Sunday our relaxation day.
