If Tim Meadows could ball (3:05), and came from Washington, D.C., he’d be Delonte West. This video is back from a little over a year ago when West was a guard with the Celtics. Highlights include:
0:06 … “This is the cup that I love. This is it. I love it. I love it because it’s a cup.”
3:49 … “Twenty years from now you gonna see me ridin’ in a drop-top Hummer, butt naked, with some ankle socks on, and a Boston Celtics headband, standing up, driving from Boston to California. Butt naked. Sixty years old.”
4:31 … “Who would I be for one day? You gotta be Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny is the smoothest dude I ever met. I mean, I didn’t meet him … Well, I did meet him once, but you wouldn’t even believe me if I told you.”
I got a chance to “interview” Yao Ming via a cool video-conferencing technology on Thursday. Here’s a feature and a blog post about it. And here are some photos. Woot, barf, grumble.
I know I’ve relaunched and rebranded this site countless times since its inception in Sept. 2001, but this time I reckon it will stick. Why? Well, it’s springtime and I’m feeling light and breezy after a busy, if not hectic, back end of the calendar. I’m married now, we just moved to Brooklyn, and, most importantly, I purged my server. (Just kidding, Lisa.)
But the site’s spring cleaning was necessary, if only to get rid of the “138″ sub-directory; pages be published right off the .com url now. Plus, it’s good to be rid of all the stray MP3’s in the media folder (those music-bots have crazy long tentacles), and hopefully I won’t get too many more click-throughs from people googling “Friendster” (somehow, Krucoff’s to blame/credit for that one). If you’re here, you want to be here. That’s how things started out, and that’s how they should continue moving forward.
So, in closing, welcome back. And please pardon our appearance while we remodel; we’re still trying to figure out where this damn RSS feed should go. It clashes with the search box.
