Barack Obama's email hacked?!

You may have recently heard about how some people from the group Anonymous hacked into Palin's email. Well it turns out somebody hacked into Barack's email account, what was found was truly astonishing. Check out the screen cap below.

Haha, you can click on it to make it bigger....but that's obviously not his real inbox haha, it's the work of those geniuses over at The Onion. Good stuff though. Barry Obama hahaha.

Charles Barkley is Crazy

I first got introduced to this man in the early nineties when my mom had a crush on him, since then he's gone on to say some of the funniest crap any basketball player has ever said. Here's some proof below these are all HIS quotes, no lying here.



"I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan."

"You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right."

"I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime."

Some sports Guy: "Auburn is a pretty good school. To graduate from there I suppose you really need to work hard and put forth maximum effort."
Charles: "20 pts and 10 rebounds will get you through also!"

Kenny: "There's guys who go over to Europe and play overseas from America, and they dominate!"
Charles: "Those are called 'brothers'

Charles Barkley on his thoughts about retiring before the season: "I remember sitting down with the Rockets and saying, 'Yeah. I'm going to retire.' They said, 'Well, we'll give you $9 million.' And I said, 'You got a pen on you?'"

"Man, everything gets blamed on the Clintons, every single thing in this world. I think Bill Clinton shot JFK, too."

Charles Barkley after seeing a picture of Sam Cassell on the screen: "Phone home."

On North Carolina missing 22 of its last 23 shots in losing to Georgetown in the NCAA tournament last weekend: "Stevie Wonder could make one of 23 shots."

"I'd never buy my girl a watch... she's already got a clock over the stove."

"I always laugh when people ask me about rebounding techniques. I've got a technique. It's called just go get the damn ball."


After an Olympic Dream Team victory over Angola, in which they won 116-48, Charles got into a physical altercation with a member of Angola towards the end of the game, afterwards he says: "Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a couple weeks. I thought he was going to pull a spear on me."




HAHAHA Those last two are just so wrong!....But someone said it while the rest of us were just thinking it...right?

I don't blame you, thankfully and curiously EFG(Epic Fail Guy) from 4chan of all places clears it all up for everyone! Click on the image to enlarge it, there you go...

Wow...

In today's Penny Arcade newspost Tycho says the following about Microsoft:

"If we are to observe the problem in its totality, I recognize that trying to make Vista seem like anything more than a modern Judas Cradle is a tremendous challenge. This is part of why I am, in general, impressed with what they've managed to accomplish with the 360. Trying to associate Microsoft with "fun" is like trying to associate Satan with aromatherapy."


Wow...hahaha, It's this kind of "wordsmith-ery" that makes Tycho or, Jerry Holkins one of the best commentators on videogame related culture.

Vids I'm watching...

Here's a couple of videos I've been getting my entertainment from recently, they may not be new but they're entertaining.



HOW CAN SHE SLAP?! then later on...*crying* how can she slap me sir, how can she slap me? CLASSIC...honestly though, if you slap some stranger it should be fair game to get slapped back.



BAM! Talk about getting trucked...I've idolized Laron Landry for being a beast but trying to go high on Brandon Jacobs is just RIDICULOUS so he got what was coming.



Ahhhh baby videos what would youtube be like without them?? Nothing that's why. Anyway, this particular one stands out because of the baby's reaction of "That's not funny! It's blood!" hahahaha clearly showing how he hasn't been desensitized to blood by those awful awful videogames.



Finally some classic music, hahaha the overalls are the peak of fashionable.

K, that's it for now...I gotta go watch some more college football

Download it there! and try it out!!

EDIT: I dunno if it's JUST me...but the scroll up functionality doesn't seem to be working on my mouse pad thingie...glitch?! hopefully.

Also on Sitemeter google Chrome comes out as "Safari 1.3"??? maybe this is just due to the fact that it used Webkit?

Google Chrome(Google is making a web browser!)

As a lover of all things Google(you can probably tell by the fact I'm using Blogger) I'm really psyched that Google is getting into the browser game!! The beta should be launching tomorrow, here's a comic book detailing some stuff about it...

Olympic Hottie: Stephanie Rice

Let's be honest the Water Cube has been dominated by Michael Phelps, the only two that can even match Phelps in popularity in there are Guo Jingjing and the following beauty 20 year old Australian golden girl Stephanie Rice. Let's be brutally honest here, it's kinda rare to find an attractive olympic swimmer, I mean after all they have to be really strong and what not, so at 5'7" and 148 lbs Stephanie Rice isn't too bad in that sense, but she has a spectacular body and a very nice smile, and her hair is something I really like about her too. Seriously though these pics that I'm about to share with you illustrate my point, specifically the last one which comes from her facebook page and will have you a bit flushed to say the least.

Alright....wait for it....wait for it.

Amazing right? YEEEEESH

Olympic Hottie: Guo Jingjing

Olympic divers are some of the most graceful athletes you'll see in the Olympics. You won't find many as beautiful as China's "diving diva" Guo Jingjing. This 27 year old beauty stands at just over 5 feet 3 inches and 105 lbs, so she's just a bit taller than an average gymnasts. She's also a multi medal winner having won two golds in Athens, she's expected to do the same in her home turf(as of the writing of this article she already has one)Guo has a very elegant beauty to me, with an enchanting skin tone it's no surprise one of her many corporate sponsorships is Avon. It's amazing how there can be such a wide spectrum of beauty at these games.

Stunning....

Beijing 2008: Olympic Hottie Jacqueline Carvlho

It's not secret that Brazilian women are some of the most beautiful women in the world, it's also no secret that female volleyball players are also some of the most fit athletic women in the world. Combine the two and you get the stunning Jacqueline Carvalho. This 24 year old woman stands at 6'1 and an amazing 154 lbs...talk about amazon-like statistics! Also look at that smile talk about completely enchanting. Now personally I like the whole no make up-hair in a pony tail look. So I'm in awe of the picture of the left but I recognize some of you are not so below I'm gonna post some pics of Jacqueline doing her thing on the court and them some of her a bit more "made up" from a photoshoot. Viva Brazil!







Yeeeeeeesh, look at that first pic! It doesn't get much better than that...but now as promised here are the pics with more "production"

Beijing 2008: Opening Ceremony

AMAZING! Seriously hats off to Beijing and all of China they had an AMAZING opening ceremony. The massive and flawless choreography of the whole thing had me in awe. The Block wave scene was especially awesome as well as the tai chi sequence, overall though it was simply incredible. The parade of athletes was pretty weird though I dunno in what sort of order they were, but the women who were in front of the nations were simply STUNNING! You know the ones in Red dresses...wow, really really pretty. Another thing I liked about the parade of athletes was the mariachi music that would come on every once in a while, viva mexico!! we're everywhere haha. The US has an impressive 600+ athlete delgation, but some of those guys(especially the basketball players) were just walking around like if they were doing nothing special. Show some pride!! Come on! You're at the friggin' olympics representing your country!! Seriously after that display if you guys don't win a gold medal you deserve to be exiled from the country or something....

The final flame lighting was impressive, Li Ning ran around the edge of the top of the stadium as a virtual scroll of paper unfurled infront of him finally ending in front the huge impressive flame cauldron where he stopped running and lit a little thing that ran the flame from where he was coiling up to light the huge impressive cauldron....oddly enough I can't find a picture of it online, well you've seen it anyway unless if you live under a rock that is...and if you live under a rock I highly doubt you'd have internet access.

Malik Yusef - "What you made me"

Illustration by Michael Cucci

Malik Yusef is a poet who is releasing a CD with Kanye's GOOD music later one this year. This particular "song" has a soulful beat consisting mostly of a choir belting out a smooth song; and talks about how the oppression of minorities has influenced the way in which we act, talk, move, dress...everything.

Does't look that scared to me

I guess doors do have emotions

Really??

What kind of parent would really call the fuzz on his kid?

Kevin

Kevin, originally uploaded by P.S.Zollo.

Riding my bicycle along
Hollywood Boulevard today
I saw him in the crowd - noticed
him instantly. When we reached
each other, I said hi and asked
if he would mind if I took his
photo.
"You want my photo?"
Yeah, I said. There's nobody
like you.
"I know." And he smiled for me
-although his face was
evidently destroyed by something-
and his mouth reconstructed.

I asked him what happened.
"Shot," he said. "Shot in the
face." He motioned a gun
at close range being shot
directly into his face.

Andyou survived that? I asked.
"No," he said with a smile.
"I'm dead."
I apologized for what was
a stupid question, but it
was hard to fathom - gun shot-
close range - into his face. And
he lived.

So what happened? I asked.
Was it an accident, or did
someone mean to shoot you?

"I did it myself. Tried to kill
myself."

You did?
"Yeah."

Where?
"Arizona."

Phoenix?
"Tucson."

So tell me, how did it feel,
after you shot yourself in the
face - and you came to -
and realized you were not
dead?

"Agony. The worst agony
ever."

Man.
"Yeah."

What kind of gun?
"30-aught-six."

I was thunderstruck. I have
met and photographed many
people - who are featured in this
stream - humans who have
overcome amazing
adversity. Lydia, who was
burnt almost to death.
Ray, whose eye was gone.
Margaret, who weighed over
500 pounds.

But this. Man. And yet he
was smiling. I told him what
I thought:

God gives everyone a different
life - and some people get really
really hard lives.

"That's me. Doesn't get
much worse."

Told me he's on the street.
Homeless.

I asked him how bad it was
that he wanted to die.
"Bad. Really bad. The worse
kind."

Are you gonna try again?
"No. I tried once. That's enough."

Man.
Sometimes our lives
seem hard - unbearable even -
but then we meet Kevin.
Or Lydia. Or Ray. And realize
again how lucky we are.
How hard some humans
have it.
Man.

And yet
he smiled. He smiled
for me. This man with his
face blown off - by his own
hand. And here he is -
in the sunshine, listening
to music, smiling.

Don't even know what else
to say about this. Guess
I've already said it.

Firefox 3 in Cuba

So there's 973 people in Cuba who downloaded Firefox 3, which I find pretty awesome considering that internet access has only just been recently allowed in Cuba. So good job Cubanos you're beating the crap out of Turkemenistan in terms of using an awesome browser.

Movie Impressions: The Incredible Hulk

"Ang Lee's Hulk Sad!"

So what's the deal with Ang Lee's HULK? I mean it wasn't that bad......ok maybe It was, but who cares? Now there's a new Hulk and this one's not as bright green nor are his pants purple.

Edward Norton replaces Eric Bana(whom I consider to be much more awesome) as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler replaces Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross(Connelly being about 23 times more attractive). These two lead a pretty good cast, and deliver an overall satisfactory performance. Still the star of the movie is the Hulk himself, and truth be told I'm a bit conflicted. I liked Ang Lee's Hulk, or rather Industrial Lights and Magic's Hulk, I thought he was really well animated and his facial expressions in particular were very impressive, who cares about the skin color that resembles Nickelodeon ooze and the purple pants are not realistic, I mean come on, we're talking about a dude that turns green and becomes a giant when he gets angry. But Rhythm and Hue's Hulk(the new one) is really quite good too, he's animated in a very "realistic" way, meaning that he looks like he actually weighs what a giant would and he moves for the most part in a non cartoony way. There's a particular scene that I really liked where you can see Hulk's skin cracked near his shoulder right after you see bullets bounce off his skin that made me the graphics whore inside of me say "COOL!" Overall I'd have to give the nod to Rhythm and Hue's Hulk because unlike the previous movie they decided to show the Hulk for the most part in only dark settings where the sun could not make it look too unreal, and the one scene that was in the daylight was shot with crazy fast camera angles that also hid the "unrealness" of the hulk for the most part.

Now the reason why this film was made was because Ang Lee's lacked action, it was too "cerebral" Is the word most of the internet uses to condescendingly describe the film. In this sene The Incredible Hulk delivers, this film is short on back story and feelings and heavy on action, that's not to say that we don't see how Bruce feels about his situation but the movie doesn't emphazise on that too much. There's even a return of the "HULK SMASH!!!" line which I have to admit occured in a really REALLLY corny way. But the action scenes deliver, we get to see the Hulk take on the army a couple of times in different settings and even take on some sort of cloverfield-monster-only-a-baby-version-lookalike with pretty awesome results. Still at the end of the movie you get the feeling this was just the exposition of the story and there's gonna no doubt be a sequel, a trend I'm starting to really dislike.

Overall, the Incredible Hulk is good. Go see it. But see it in the afternoon when it's not 8 bucks, it's not really worth 8 bucks....Meaning it's not Iron Man Caliber, but then again what is??

My Muxtape!

Hey everyone a muxtape is an online mixtape that you can put together and share with people they can't download 'em but there is a link to amazon so they can buy 'em. Anyway I put together a good "modern" hip hop muxtape together and the link is HERE. Give it a listen.

Movie Impressions: Kung Fu Panda

Let me set the scene here, I'm super hyped for WALL-E, part of the reason why I wanted to go see Kung Fu Panda is because I KNEW that there would be a trailer for WALL-E, so a couple of weeks ago I decided I was gonna go just for that. But as the release date approached I was beginning to like the idea of an animated martial arts movie, after animation and martial arts are two of my favorite genre of films. So that was my bias coming in, now let's get to the movie itself.

Very Satisfying. The whole movie barely seemed like it was a Dreamworks movie, this is due to the fact that the whole style was taken very seriously and it was SELF CONTAINED. There were no incredibly out of place pop culture references as in others(Shark Tale, Madagascar) which is a breath of fresh air from this animation house. Also there are some moments of awesome cinematography, I'm talking about beautiful almost poetic scenes which give you a sense of inspiration and even make you channel Keanu Reeves as you say "Woah." The opening sequence in particular and the end credits showcase beautiful 2D animation that would make a pretty good Nickelodeon show or something.(and it probably will, mark my words) The best part of the movie by far however were the fight scenes. They were fast, but not chaotic always elegant and you never lost sight of what was going on. The Furious Five scenes in particular are awesome and each different animal moves in a way which is unique to the species, I really liked Crane's movements in particular. The story however is a bit formulaic but it's forgivable due to its short length. Jack Black delivers a pretty good performance but Po as a whole failed to be as lovable and memorable from his dialog as I was hoping he would be.

The movie as a whole is very satisfying and is well worth the money, It's good to see that the talented guys at Dreamworks are getting better at telling stories and at having awesome graphical styles. Hopefully Pixar and these guys keep pushing each other to tell great and unique stories that can only be told through animation.

Wale - The Mixtape About Nothing

For those of you that don't know Wale is a 23 year old rapper from DC, who just signed with the Mark Ronson backed label Allido(same label as Rhymefest), but more importantly the guy can rap. He's a smart dude, who's not just rapping about guns and crap, I think it's pretty clear that doesn't sell anymore. Anyway, as the name implies this mixtape is indeed inspired by Seinfeld and he even goes on to reference the show in a couple of songs...overall just awesome and even if(especially) if you don't like hip hop you should check it out.

Introducing YouTomb

Ever looked for a video on youtube that you'd seen before but realized that it had been taken down due to "copyright infringment"?? Chances are it's on YouTomb, YouTomb is a research project by MIT Free culture which tracks down videos which have been taken down for said reason. Not only that but you can see who it was that requested these videos be taken down. Now you can't see the videos on the site, so what's the point? Well as the creator says "YouTomb was conceived to shed light on YouTube's practices, to educate the general public on the relevant copyright issues, and to provide helpful resources to users who have had their videos wrongfully taken down." So you can see exactly which videos NBC or Viacom or the WWE request be taken down. Pretty cool stuff.

Weezer Pork and Beans

Look at all the memes!! I'm aware that South Park did something like this recently and all but this is really cool, is it pretty sad that I know every single one of these? Lightsaber Drumsticks FTW!!! and Miss Teen South Carolina too, very niiiice haha I don't care how dumb she is.

Stream of Consciousness #1

I don't know this summer has been weird, after months of feeling trapped or constrained in school and complaining about it nonstop until a week ago when vacations started, I am now dreadfully bored. I think I need the structure. It's sad to say but I feel like not being told or instructed to do something leads to me being completely and utterly useless. I dunno maybe I'm overreacting. I am overreacting. It's no big deal really, I'll get over it...I dunno it kinda reminds me of One Day in the Life Of Ivan Denisovich maybe I've become used to life in the labor camp and anything outside of doing my job just terrifies the crap out of me. I mean what's the big deal anyway? Do I really need to be doing something? Yeah I do. I mean what's Frodo without the quest to destroy the one ring? Some lame little piece of crap Hobbit that's what he is. What's Mario without his constant quests for that floozy Daisy? Just some plumber....and what's Mario without being a plumber? Some Italian guy with incredibly jumping skills. Jumping Skills. That's what defines Mario I guess. You know what's cool? Luigi's jump. How he kicks the air and stay up there for a few extra seconds...it doesn't work in real life, believe me I know. It amazes me how young videogames are, I mean the oldest characters are like around my age, Mega Man was born the same year I was...and half of the middle school kids today have no idea what a Mega Man is. Did I just say Mega Man was born? That's a pretty weird thing to say about a sequence of bits. Dial up sucks, I could do so much more stuff if I had a fast connection, but I don't so see you later.

The World's Tallest Man Made Structure

As of TODAY March 20th, 2008 that title belongs to Burj Dubai, or Dubai Tower at over 650m and with a final height of 819 meters to be achieved later this year.
Here's a diagram comparing Burj Dubai to other great structures of our time. What's most amazing is that as imposing and magnificent as Burj Dubai is it will only reign as the world's tallest structure for a small period of time. Yup believe it or not two towers are right on its heels and they will even pass it by a large margin. First we have Al Burj which will be in Dubai as well and whose final height has not been revealed but many suspect it will be around 1200 meters atleast that is its proposed height.

The second of these buildings is the Burj Mubarak Al-Kabir of Kuwait, another booming economy of the middle east. This tower is proposed to be 1001 meters tall which is more than Burj Dubai by close to 200 meters. Still the final height for many of these buildings are kept secret because as soon as one firm shows off a new height the others race to modify their plans to make their building taller. It's amazing really the race for the tallest building, I wonder if these buildings will withstand the test of time....imagine if years from now when we're all gone if those towers will still be standing.

Hate: "Green" being used a term to describe general environmental friendliness. ("going green" etc.)
Don't: "Green" being used a term to identify middle school students who have not "scammed" with anyone yet. ( "Flavius is still green, Remi too." etc)

Letterman FTW!!

Letterman had some pretty awesome jokes at the expense of Hillary Clinton...and I quote:

"Hillary Clinton barely won my home state of Indiana. And she lost in the State of North Carolina. But here is the good news. She has a substantial lead in the state of denial."

"I was thinking about this. And i’m no political genius. I’m no pundit but it occurred to me that Hillary Clinton has one thing in common with President Bush. Neither of them has an exit strategy."

HAHA...excellent, It occured to me the other day that Hillary Clinton is the Democratic party's psycho ex-girlfriend who won't let go. Hopefully this will all be over, it's been over for a while now Hillary. So Just Give it up.

Every Kid's Dream

Now maybe that's not the case in America, but everywhere else in the world kids dream of one day being spotted by some coach of a big team playing alongside some of your idols, playing in the champion's league(Rafa Marquez ftw!), and eventually playing for your national team...Nike does an amazing job capturing that feeling.

Iron Man Impressions

Just got back from watching the latest comic book based movie, and I gotta say, I liked it! I mean I've always had a soft side for Iron Man because the suit is friggin' awesome and because underneath that awesome suit is a hardcore smart geek who built it. Tony Stark is what every nerd would want to be, rich, smart, cocky, women all over you, and the unlimited funds and time to tinker around and build whatever you want to be, so yeah I was looking forward to this movie. In that sense it did not fail, throughout the whole movie Tony Stark is that cocky sarcastic rich smart bastard who gets to play with awesome toys. And boy were they awesome! His set up is crazy, and there's some fictitious workstation that's like a 3d holographic thing you can interact with that has no chance of being made within the next 50 years but is still awesome. The Iron Man himself also looks incredible, I really have to congratulate the animators and engineers behind the graphics, because they look incredibly convincing and never look outlandish or too plasticky.

The story however does tend to drag. At a little over 2 hours it's not an especially long movie but the slow pace and lack of action makes it feel much longer. Also there's some bits of "humor" and characters that feel thrown in there only to please the waves of kids that will be flocking to see this movie.To be honest there's only a handful of true action scenes and I think the movie could have benefited from a bit more. I can't shake the feeling that this was just an expository film and that it's just building up for the sequel. The fact that there's no real strong antagonist only further illustrates this. The acting is pretty good, Robert Downey Jr. as stated before plays Tony Stark pretty incredibly and his character stays constant throughout, Gwyneth Paltrow has a good show and Jeff Bridges too.

Overall the movie is worth watching, I do really recommend it. If you're a geek it goes without saying that you need to be there, but even if you're not really one and are looking to be entertained go see it.

Also Iron Man owns a Wii!!!! You can see it right underneath his TV in his living room.
