Battle At the Berrics 2

I used to skate pretty hard (over ten years ago), but still like to keep up on the sport. Besides X-games, The Berrics is working hard to bring great skating to the internet. It is a website, but also Eric Koston and Steve Berra's skatepark. Right now they are holding a vote for Battle At the Berrics 2, which is a tournament for the game of SKATE(skate is to skateboarding as horse is to basketball).
Here is a clip of the semi-finals from last time around:

Capitol Words

Here is a website that allows you to type in a word to see how much it has been used in Congress. It shows a graph of the usage as well as which lawmaker has used the word the most. For example, John Kerry has used 'Chris' 46 times over the past 2 years. I am sure that you can think of more creative words to type in to see...I don't know, who may be the biggest racist.

Getting Back On My Grind

I know the blog has been struggling lately, but I was moving and just got the internet today. Yes, the lining of my swimming trunks. Posts and mixes to follow. In unrleated news, this is one of the first google images for struggling:

It’s likely that when Kari Ferrell walked into the Vice magazine offices in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, last month to interview for an administrative assistant job, they thought they’d hit the jackpot. Ms. Ferrell—petite, 22 years old, of Korean heritage—had a huge tattoo of a dragon across her chest and a cute pixie haircut. She was talkative, funny, charming, adorable. She had a tattoo on her back that read “I Love Beards.” She told them she’d been working for the New York office of the concert promotion company GoldenVoice, which puts on huge rock festivals like Coachella near Palm Springs, Calif., and that she’d moved to New York from Utah just a few months earlier. They hired her on the spot.

A few days later, one of Ms. Ferrell’s new colleagues came by her desk. “I said, ‘Excuse me, miss, is [her boss] downstairs?’” the 29-year-old told The Observer. “She thought that was very polite that I said, ‘Excuse me, miss,’ and after that she started talking to me, instant-messaging me. She asked if I was from the South. I told her no. It escalated from there.”

Within the space of a half-hour, Ms. Ferrell was peppering him with questions about his sexual history—how many women he’d slept with and so on. “She was coming on to me, and I was super into it for the first part of it,” he said. “I realized I could have fun after work—but then I was like, ‘Let me check this girl out.’” He googled her. Up popped a photo of his flirtatious new co-worker on the Salt Lake City Police Department’s Most Wanted list, wanted on five different warrants, including passing $60,000 in bad checks, forgery and retail theft.

I'm Just Here to Chat

Do you remember AOL dial-up? And chat-rooms? And you and your friends sitting around a computer talking ish to people, pretty much being an e-bully or maybe asking for stats from alleged females? I do, which is why this new site, omegle is kind of interesting in its simplicity. You are randomly connected to one other person(stranger) and chat with them.

I chatted with someone in Iceland who had gone to the bank/political protests in Reykjavik and was amazed with my knowledge on their economy and president. Truth be told, I read just one article in Vanity Fair about it, good article though. This person sent me a youtube link:


I am not going to lie, I have known about this site for a bit, and was hesitant to chat with a stranger, but I learned something kinda new in 3 minutes. I mean, I figured I had to give it a whirl if I was going to blog about it, although I do not see myself signing on again(unless there is a couple drinks and friends telling me what to write). And of course there are the drawbacks of pedophiles and weirdos, but the Internet is a weird place, give it a try.
