Stop Motion: Google Maps Version

I came across this neat little clip that uses those old fun train/city sets to create and explain how Google creates their street views. I have actually had the opportunity to witness Google doing this in Pittsburgh, on Sampsonia Street by the Mattress Factory. It was really cool to see them do it in person and with much more sophisticated equipment.

Tell me what you think

This is why Creed is the greatest rock and roll band of all time:

What do YOU think?

anon: i know. i'm not tryna count my eggs, you know?

me: right
and don't...
at least eye-ball your eggs though
you can guesstimate the shit out of those eggs

anon: lately, i've been balling my eggs.

Wtf?

It's not cheating if...

Question: Are you guilty of cheating even if you 1.) only cheated a little bit, 2.) didn't end up winning in the end, and 3.) didn't cheat as bad as your opponent?


Just wondering.

FamilyFest

This weekend is the annual Family Fest at ASC. My family and I have been coming to this end of summer weekend getaway for about 22 years. It is always a good time and I look forward to seeing everyone from camp, and friends from across the country one last time.

I got a job at the local YMCA, which is awesome because a perk of the job is free membership to the gym etc. The Y is geographically in the middle of my house, school, and Hoi, which makes it a convenient and central location in my current schedule.

So splatter that.

Where the Wild Things Are

I know I am going to cry when I watch this movie. I can't wait to see it. Who wants to come with me? This is a song by KarenO and the Kids (KarenO of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) called All Is Love. Check out more info on the movie at myspace.com/wherethewildthingsare

Yankee's Update

Remember those weekly NYY updates I promised back in April? Well I took off about fifteen weeks, but here it goes again.

The Downs:
We're Wang-less. This means about 18 less wins from a starter. It also means Sergio Mitre.

Brian Bruney. His numbers really aren't that bad, but his worst pitching is when we need him the most. Yikes.

The Angels. I might be wrong, but I think that the Angels are the only team in baseball who has a winning record against the Yankees in the last 15 years. I hate playing against them. I hope they lose every game from now until eternity and we never have to face them in the playoffs. This is a completely irrational fear, but it is what I have nightmares about.

The Ups:
We are in the top ten in every offensive, pitching, and fielding category. Seriously. Wait no, era is 15th.

Six, yes SIX players with 20+home runs. (btw, Jeter and Posada both have 17)

Derek Jeter. MVP? Six more hits until he passes Lou Gehrig on the all time hits list. Lou Gehrig! What an amazing lifetime accomplishment for any player, let alone a fellow Yankee captain.

Our expensive off season is definitely paying off. Who cares, it's not my money.

Mo and C.C. are both Cy Young candidates.

My prediction of 107-55 is still very possible.

Prediction:

World Series Champs.
