Back In Black

I've been wondering if these all-black Heat jerseys that are shown in billboards and on line would become available to buy. They haven't worn them in a game yet, have they? I suppose they're waiting for a special occasion, like the playoffs or, cross your fingers, the finals.

So awesome.

Right To Privacy

Do we have one? What's your opinion? It certainly seems to be diminishing rapidly. One enterprising American has invented undergarments that provide privacy for one's privates through the use of a dye that shows up blurry on those new full-body scanners. If you don't want jpegs of your junk all over the Net, you might consider investing a few bucks in a pair of these -

Kanye's Style Consultant Is Cassius Clay

19 year-old Yale sophomore, Cassius Clay, that is. The dude was shopping at Barney's, when someone tapped him on the shoulder to compliment him on his outfit. That person was Kanye West, who has now hired Clay, forcing him to make the understandable choice to take a leave of absence from New Haven.

I Don't Even Know What To Call This

Night Vision

Luxury cars are going to start using infrared to detect pedestrians and other potential dangers on the road, beyond the reach of headlights. That's pretty awesome.

KW on SNL

This guy is just ridiculous. Buy his new album. It's awesome. Not on iTunes, though. The case and art stashed within it are worth owning. Maybe I'm old fashioned.

2010 Stuff That Was Awesome

It's late November, so we may as well get prepared for the countdown to 2011. Esquire, the only magazine to which I still subscribe, since it's the best thing you can read other than TMQ, has published it's Best of 2010 list. Very cool stuff.

Presidential Sh*t Is Pretty Awesome

 

Go here to download the latest from Miami's up and coming rapper, Black Bobby. 

The Japanese Pop Star of the Future

I heard about this from WWTDD, who read it on Joe Rogan's Twitter. This is the first I've heard, but apparently there's a 3-D hologram named Hatsune Miku that is now a huge star in Japan. The Japanese are so weird. It's so awesome. I lived there for 3 months in 2002 and it's like being on a different planet. I loved it, don't get me wrong, and people often experience "reverse culture shock" when they return to their home countries after a prolonged stay there. Upon returning to the U.S., I experienced a rather annoying phase during which I would say "you know, in Japan..." about how much better practically everything was over there.

Here is a video of one of "her" performances, along with an enthusiastic crowd. Her singing voice is created with a computer program. I suppose this isn't much different than loving a cartoon character, like Homer Simpson, for example. I have said many times that I wish he were a real person and I were friends with him.

The concert footage of Hatsune Miku sort of reminds me of the Floston, Paradise shows in The Fifth Element.

USA!

This is probably the greatest commercial in the history of television. Even better than the "What Should I Do?" Lebron commercial.

Halloween Is So, So Awesome

I've been looking around for costume ideas for several friends, as well as my girlfriend. She got a couple of lame ones from the internet where it's just a bag with a bunch of ill-fitting components meant to look like a popular figure or character. I think the way you make a good costume is by using as much of your own stuff as possible (I once dressed as Neo without buying even one thing), and buying the crazy stuff that you might not have owned, like say, a patent leather yellow jacket when you're dressing as "Live at Wembley Freddie Mercury," or a clear rain jacket for Pat Bateman.

Well, I thought that "Michelle Jackson" would be a good costume and I started poking around Google. This is what I found.

She's not going to buy one of these, but it did give me some ideas. This is gonna be one sweet costume.

The Greatest Frontman of the Greatest Rock Band of All Time

Freddie Mercury, of course. And Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing him in an upcoming movie. I can't wait.

The Future Is Now

Nike has patented the auto-lacer system that was probably the best thing about the entire Back to the Future series.

Check it out here.

I Thought Beer Was for the Horses And the Men Get Whiskey...

But this is pretty awesome. I was thinking "hey, wouldn't it be nice if someone started a website through which an appreciative US (or French, cough, WWII) citizen could buy a soldier a beer.

Well, of course it already exists, and now it's going on my page for the duration of our wars. So, uh, forever.

And here's the song to which I alluded in the title. It's one of Toby Keith's best. His official video version is terrible, so we'll see how long this one stays up -

Florida Has a Gator Hunting Season

Too bad they don't mean UF alumni!

Gator huntin' season has officially begun. And to make it even more badass than you would ever imagine, you are not allowed to hunt them with a gun. You have to use a bow and arrow. Or, presumably, your fists.

Read all about it in the Miami Herald.

The American

I didn't even have to watch the whole trailer to know this is gonna be awesome. I find that things that start with "American" are totally awesome, and this goes to a whole new level.

Halloween Is Awesome

So, so awesome. And it's less than three months away! I have many ideas, as usual, and this year, one of them was Voltron. That is, until I looked up Voltron costumes and stumbled upon this -

  If you'd like to see more photos of an impossibly perfect costume, check them out at Gizmodo. The only way I could compete with this would be to become a cartoon somehow.

Space, B*tches

It's official. Time travel is not only possible, but necessary for the survival of the species, according to "world's smartest man," Stephen Hawking. Also, don't talk to aliens.
