Stephon Marbury High?

I occasionally check out Washington Wizard Basketball All-Star Gilbert Arenas' blog. Basketball is the only sport I religiously play and follow (I can't jump worth a damn...but my shot is unstoppable!). It's really cool to see a casual perspective on the game of NBA basketball from a professional athlete.Gilbert Arenas is actually from my home town. In high school, me and my good friends Ray Diamond and Josh Peltz would occasionally play blacktop ball out on the courts of Louise Park. We'd often find a lanky 13 year old Gilbert Arenas there. Gilbert was 3 years younger than us and, quite frankly, no better than any of the other people that played there. Obviously, he worked his ass off since then and is now one of the top 25 active basketball players in the world.Anyways, the main reason for this post is Gilbert mentions the "Best Interview of the Century" with Stephon Marbury. Stephon is a former All-Star that currently plays on the New York Knicks. I have no clue what Marbury was smoking prior to this interview...but that stuff sure seems potent!

Wanted Cowgirls

Everybody knows that I'm a proud Belgian citizen... Hum. When I was in Europe I couldn't really have access to the entire span of American culture. So, now that I live in the glorious US of A, I can discover the most underground and hidden aspect of its pop cultures. This is... Well... I don't know. I report, you decide!

Honda Domino Effect

Here's a cool commercial that my Mom forwarded me an e-mail about. My mom isn't a very tech savvy person, so the fact that she showed it to me may suggest that this thing's been around forever and I'm the last dude on the planet to hear about it. Either way it's super cool.Rumor has it (and I haven't confirmed it so don't kill me if I'm wrong) that everything in the commercial is real. No computer effects were used. What you see is a domino of car parts from 2 disassembled Honda accords. It took the team involved 600+ takes to have it work perfectly. The total cost of the commercial was $6,000,000.Don't know how true it is, but I love it! Since my days as a toddler I loved domino style inventions. That's partly why I love Goonies, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and Wallace and Gromit!

Working At Disney In 1943

It was the golden years for animation but obviously not for people working in animation. Here, you'll find a complete booklet who was given to every DISNEY's employees in 1943. Nice, uh?
