Hump Day Hook-Ups

Between suffering from a cold (in June!), working on a new website (to be unveiled soon), and checking out Plurk (check me out here), yours truly has been tremendously busy in the past week. But here they are - my favorite web items of the week! Battle of the best: Which prevails - Lakers' offense or Celtics' defense? ESPN. I called it three months ago - LA and Boston to the finals. Game 1 tomorrow night! Go Celts!!! According to this article, history slightly favors the defense...

Hump Day Hook-Ups

It's reassuring to see that my readers like this Wednesday feature. Thanks for the emails and comments! Air Jordan is Cannes Bound, Perez Hilton. Spike Lee is directing a documentary about Michael Jordan! I am truly, genuinely excited about this and I can't wait to see it (hopefully) next year. Death of Society, Eater. Guilty as charged. I too, take pictures of food at restaurants and blogging about the experience the next day. To Beat Google, Beat Google to the Mobile Web, ReadWriteWeb. I love my LG Voyager, but I don't particularly like surfing the web on a cell phone (unless that phone had a 10"+ screen). However, the use of mobile surfing is growing exponentially and the writer of this article does a good job of pointing out that...

Hump Day Hook-Ups

I was at a seminar all day today, so when I got home I had about a bazillion feeds waiting patiently for me. But alas, here they are: my pick of the top 10 posts of the week. Barbara Walters Brags About Notches On Her Bedpost On Ellen, Jezebel. Good ol' Babs wrote a memoir called Audition that's apparently been getting a lot of press due to the admittance of the high number of sex partners she's had over the years. In this clip, she pokes fun at this fact and Ellen jokes along for a good laugh. Although I'm not too much of a daytime talkshow fan, I'm really starting to like Ellen a lot, much more than the sentimental crap that's usually on Oprah. 7 Wizards...

Hump Day Hook-Ups

I apologize for the lack of updates. Moving is a bitch, and moving while setting up a brand new place (and assembling furniture) is even worse. As of today, I'm happy to say that our place is finally starting to look like a home and less like a tornado-terrorized warehouse. Ten Days in the Life of a Tampon, Jezebel. The most disgusting story I've read in a really, really long time. Oh the joys of womanhood. University of California, Berkeley Marching Band Does Nintendo Themed Halftime Show, Geekologie. Duude. Duuuuuude. I totally would've joined a marching band (and play a...

Hump Day Hook-Ups

I'm still jet-lagged from the trip but I couldn't pull myself away from my beloved Google Reader, which had thousands of feeds waiting for my return. Dealzmodo Ahoy: HDTVs Will Get Stupid Cheap Next Month, Gizmodo. My jaw dropped as I read this, because we had just purchased a large screen LCD television last month. $F@(*SKJF!!!! Why New York Pizza is so Tough to Replicate, Neatorama. I've had "New York style" pizzas all over the country, and I don't think I'm being biased in believing that NY truly has the best pizza (even better than Chicago). Even pizza from Penn Station is better than some of the crap I've tasted in other cities. Life Imitating Art, Perez Hilton. Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are pregnant. Can they be...

I'm currently sitting at Athens Airport waiting for my flight to Mykonos so I have some extra time. You didn't think I'd neglect a weekly feature just because I'm on my honeymoon, did you? ;-) Flashback: What the World Was Like When the First iPod Was Released, Wired Gadget Lab. I have a 5-year old 3rd generation iPod that still hasn't crapped out on me. In fact, the only thing wrong with it is that the battery dies after about 15 minutes...

Hump Day Hook-Ups

(I'm always reading and learning the most interesting things on the web but I can never keep track of them all! So I've decided to add this new feature to my blog: every Wednesday, I will highlight the top 10 interesting things I've read in the past week. Let me know how you like it.) Welcome to the first installment of Hump Day Hook-Ups! Here's what's been keeping the geek laughing, rolling her eyes, or très excitée this week: Knicks assent to several demands to get Walsh, ESPN. I've had a renewed hope for my boys ever since the rumors about Walsh surfaced...
