Pearl Jam Web Scavenger Hunt →
Pearl Jam “hid” 9 images that compose the cover of their forthcoming album on the web. The reward for solving the puzzle is a new song from the record and the album cover. This is really cool, even if you don’t love PeeJ.
Wet Dream
My landlord left me a voicemail asking if I would be interested in Verizon FIOS. I’ve been waiting for this moment for at least 3 years.
In related news, I shaved $40/month from my Time Warner Cable bill by dumping HD-Extra, Cinemax, Starz, and Road Runner Turbo (boost from 10Mbps to 20Mbps).
Flight to LA delayed 5 hours. Luckiy we’re in the amazing JFK JetBlue Terminal 5. Believe the hype.
Running the Marathon
100 days from today, I am going to run the New York City Marathon to raise money for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. The MMRF funds cancer research (see details below) and is supported by private donations.
If you can, please donate $20 (or more!) here now.
You may recall a few months ago that I started training for the Half Marathon. That’s been going extremely really well and...
Jeff Bezos: Regret Minimization Framework
bijan:
This is fantastic.
via Jeff Bezos, 2001
I went to my boss and said to him, “You know, I’m going to go do this crazy thing and I’m going to start this company selling books online.” This was something that I had already been talking to him about in a sort of more general context, but then he said, “Let’s go on a walk.” And, we went on a two hour walk in Central Park in New York City and...
Pearl Jam Rumor
Pearl Jam will replace The Beastie Boys as the headliner at the All Points West festival on Friday July 31st in Liberty State Park.
Adam Yauch (MCA) has cancer →
Luckily the cancer he has is treatable and he should make a full recovery.
If you were a jewish boy growing up in NY in the 90s, you probably wanted to be The Beastie Boys at some point. Yeshiva drop-outs, telling their Rabbis and teachers to go fuck themselves, and rapping as well as any non-white group out there.
If you hold up License To Ill in the mirror, the letters 3MTA3 say EAT ME. What...
Not Guilty
In April, Amanda, Caroline and I drove up to North Haven CT to visit the BustedTees warehouse. On 23rd and Lexington at about 930am, a few minutes after we left he office, I got pulled over for passing a school bus with its stop-blinkers on. There was heavy traffic on 23rd street and about 6 cars got pulled over for this violation within the 20 minutes that we waited for our ticket. It was...

I very often irritatedly blow past slow-pokes in the subway system, especially at the termination of stairs up or down, but I’ve been consciously trying to curtail this reaction as I think it contributes to unneeded...
Michael Jackson Lives On, with Eternal Moonwalk →
mashable:
The Michael Jackson coverage in the media may have been a little excessive at times, but there’s one fan-made tribute that’s just too cool to pass up.

Last year Dave Carroll witnessed United Airlines baggage handlers throwing and breaking his $3,500 guitar. After being told he would not be compensated for the damage, he vowed to write three songs, make music videos and publish them online to get revenge. This is the first.

Paul McCartney
I have 4 Paul McCartney tickets I can’t use for Tuesday July 21st, the 3rd of his 3 night run at Citi Field. Theyre in the cheapest section but are a good centered view. I paid $49.50 per ticket plus the surcharges only to realize that I can’t go on that day. DOH! If you want them, the surcharges are on me. joshmohrer at gmail dot com.

Regarding Palin's rapid departure
arigreenberg:
“Nobody suddenly announces a resignation on the Friday evening before a holiday weekend if it’s a positive thing.
This isn’t a bid for the presidency. It’s a scandal.” (via marco)
This isn’t a scandal or a anything negative at all. Palin’s resignation on July 3rd guarantees her a front page spot on basically every American newspaper on the most America-focused day...

My favorite musical is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Billy Elliot.
