Hi-Fi New York

Some amazing stuff here. Sculptures come to life thanks to some plastic bags, some air vents, and a boatload of creativitiy. Very cool.

Like DJ Khaled (We the Best!) slurpin’ serotonin, I’m full of superlatives these days. Greatest catch ever, another greatest catch ever, and now … the greatest wedding photo ever taken? Well, peep the image here) and tell me that the background lighting don’t just blow your mind. And it was snapped with a regular ol’ digicam, to boot. Amazing.

I know I pimped out another amazing football catch a few weeks ago, but I think Chadron State WR Isaac Stockton’s recent grab is even more impressive than the one I posted previously. I’m just amazed that his head stayed attached to his body. Definitely worth a peep.

Fans of Jets to Brazil and Jawbreaker (most definitely including yours truly) have finally found their Blake Schwarzenbach fix sated. As tumbl’d forth from the pages of Young Manhattanite:

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, Blake Schwarzenbach and Aaron Cometbus are in a new band, possibly called Thorns of Life? And the bassist is transgender Max from The L Word?? And she was part of the Gilman Street scene and played in The Gr’ups??? Consider my world thoroughly rocked. More info/links at Unlikely Words.

I’m pretty much speechless. This is the best news ever. 2008 rules.

Somehow the short pants are really important here …

What’s one to focus on now that the next four years are settled? Well, while I’m sure I’m way behind the curve with this (in fact, if I could rename this site anything, it would probably be “waybehindthecurve.com”) Annie Leonard’s “The Story of Stuff” might give you a few ideas. Despite the video’s vague “UPS whiteboard” feel, it simply, yet intelligently, breaks down the challenges we all face in a consumerist society. Definitely worth watching.

The Lakers do Zoolander, moments before the gasoline fight. For no reason whatsoever.

Not the one originally posted — that got pulled — but here’s one on Brad and Angelina. Funny stuff.

My 11th grade teacher was right, after all. Physics is phun. (And not for pussies, evidently, according to this post.)

Apologies for not knowing where the original came from, but this is pretty funny.

Update: Found here.

The title says it all. Other than this is a commercial. But you probably would have figured that out about three seconds into the clip. You’re smart like that, after all, aintcha?

More Olympic goodness:
- I haven’t checked these out but here’s some instructions on viewing the games online through “legal pirate methods” (Arrrr …)
- Here’s a rollover map for medal counts
- And a funny photo of the King ogling a lady swimmer

Olympic links, natch:

- Athletes provided with 100,000 condoms for Olympic ‘Games’

While out fetching lunch, I just saw some dude rockin’ a tank-top that said, simply enough: “I (Heart) SPORTS!” It looked homemade too. Hilarious. I’m feelin’ ya, crazy.
