It’s happening! The funny and awkward videos from this year’s Scripps National Spelling Bee Championships are appearing on YouTube!
If you’re curious, Sameer Mishra ends up winning the spelling bee championships later on by correctly spelling the word “guerdon“. Right on, kid!
Thanks Peter for the video!

On May 31, 2008 (@ 5:02PM), Buzz Lightyear will finally be able to live his dream of becoming a real space cowboy! NASA and Disney have teamed up to send the karate-chop-action toy to space on the Space Shuttle Discovery mission STS-124.
Buzz’s dream of going “to infinity and beyond” will finally come true during the mission when — with the help of the crew — he will fly in zero gravity inside the International Space Station as part of NASA’s “Toys in Space” initiative. Through this program, Buzz will help introduce fun elements from space into science and math classrooms across the country.
With Buzz will launch the aspiration of millions of school children who dream of space travel. STS-124 will coincide with the kickoff of the Space Ranger Education Series – part of NASA’s “Toys in Space,” an educational program for teachers and students. The program builds on NASA’s educational goals of encouraging students to pursue studies in science, technology and mathematics (STEM) subjects, which are vitally important in sustaining U.S. economic competitiveness and technological leadership.
Buzz Lightyear’s launch into space is also happening on the same day that Toy Story Mani! opens at Walt Disney World in Florida. Toy Story Mani! is a new theme-park attraction inside Disney World.

Man, Buzz Lightyear is awesome! I really want a Buzz Lightyear toy.
Man, if only all offices were like this…
The most recent Leftovers post featured the trailer to The Matrix and by viewing the related videos on YouTube, I came across the video above.
Jose Hidalgo, a dedicated film fan has watched The Matrix so many times that he has put together this great video showing just where all of the mistakes in the movie take place. What makes this video really funny is the heavy accent of the speaker. I don’t mean it to be mean, but it’s just funny when he uses words like “aawwweeessooommmeee” over and over again.
If that’s not enough, he has also done the same for The Matrix: Reloaded. Check out that movie mistake video below.
Both video are definitely worth watching!
The Matrix trailer looks awesome! This is gonna be such an awesome movie!!!
I’ve added the international version of “Stolen” to this post about the song. Check the bottom of that post for the download link. Thanks Dan!
Here’s a good look at the Impact New Era hats that are out this season from my friends at Reason.
“Security experts” recommend that you change your passwords for everything online at least ONCE A WEEK. WHAT?!
These Nike SB Dunks inspired by New Castle beer are actually quite pretty.
A good one from Postcards From Yo Momma.
If King Midas wore a pair of Nike shoes, these would probably be it.
I don’t know why these are nicknamed “Golden Dolphin” since it doesn’t resemble a dolphin or have any dolphin looks at all. In fact, it has scales on the back of it, which point towards a fish more than a dolphin for inspiration. Oh well, these are supposedly only being released in Japan (at Stussy stores no less). Those crazy Japanese and their golden shoes.
