I started following NASA on twitter today and the first thing that came up was this image of the summer solstice on Mars. A good start to a new digital friendship (with a broad organization) - contemporary living is something different:
This is so wack but I hat to get it up. He can’t stop smiling I think its hilarious (via Nah Right):
I’m remiss in that I haven’t posted this video yet:
Even more so now that this surfaced on the net - I love the appropriation of British slang:
I saw No Age play at the Getty last night and they were great as usual. This video of theirs came through this morning so it was a good excuse to post about them (via GvB):
The first video off of The Mixtape About Nothing as well as the first (and my favorite) track. Download the whole thing and make sure to listen to “The Kramer”.

I’m still in LA which makes me feel boring but at least I have a tan.

WINSTON: Don’t tell the Party, but sex is way better than totalitarianism.
EVERYONE: Surprise! We’re the Party.
WINSTON: Oh, rats.

I’ve been watching Euro 2008 as much as I can and every time I see this clip I get goosebumps. Doesn’t hurt that I love Arsenal and am pretty into the Netherlands. Hadn’t seen the full version before - it is even better than the one on TV:
