You’re on fire

Man, August is here already (if you look at the Archive section on the right, you’ll see that I’ve been with Wordpress now for about 3 months). Time really just flew by this summer. I need to stop having so much fun so that time won’t pass so fast! AHH, I don’t want school to come!

I thought it was hot yesterday. But today and tomorrow, it’s supposed to be even hotter! Read the weather advisory taken from The Weather Channel below:

Why does The Weather Channel post their weather advisories in CAPS? Is it so that people will take it as someone screaming the message to them? Maybe The Weather Channel thinks the CAPS will make the message more urgent.

The real-feel is gonna reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit in NYC today! WTH!!!

How to tell if your memory card is a fraud or a fake. I had to use this today, and sure enough, the card I looked at was fake!

You know how in movies and TV they always use fake phone numbers that start with 555? Well, here’s a website that compiles lots of those numbers and the movies/TV shows that they are from. [via]

Check out this suspended Honda F1 race car. Wow, what an awesome project display! More on artist Paul Veroude and his Honda installation here.

Newegg.com just emailed me notification that they have restocked on their Nintendo DS Lite systems. Up until this point, I have been ecstatic about purchasing the gaming system, and now that it is completely available for me to instantly purchase, I am getting cold feet (or rather, cold fingers).

This is why I love Hudson River Park and NYC (and Jersey City in the background).

Believe it or not, I got this Zoo York Tonal OG Fitted hat in a dark blue from work (at Puma) and I just love it. I love how it fits and I love how it looks. It’s a friggin hassle to bend the front though because it’s so stiff when it’s new.

I absolutely love this Population: One, an online visual representation of you and the rest of the world population–in pixels. Scrolling the project produces some pretty colors. [via]

Also from Information Aesthetics comes this fantastic look from Seed Magazine at the current state of the planet in terms of the 6.5 billion people using it and impacting it each day. Wow, screw boring statistics because these numbers and visuals do so much more for me than a page of reading.

Rocky Balboa, the 6th and last in the Rocky movie series, is coming out December 22, 2006. The premise of the movie involves computers, boxers, and a simulated fight that “arouses everybody’s curiosity”. Why are they doing this? Why won’t they just let a good movie series die peacefully?

HAHAHAHA! I keep seeing hipsters wearing these deep V-neck tees. If only they knew how stupid and gay it made them look.

I don’t think I say this enough, but thanks for coming here and reading and enjoying the very same things that I enjoy. :)
