1) For superdorks, like myself, or those of you who do little at work but draw a paycheck, like myself, this website might just be for you. FontStruction allows ordinary Joe and Jane Typographer to design, share, and use a font of their own creation. I can't lie, I might begin to make one of these when I get home. Because it's that, or drown in the silence.
2) For those of you who have an iPhone (ed note: You suck!) then rejoice: it's outdated and old. Today, Steve Jobs will announce the new iPhone. Rumors say it will be $199.00, a far cry from the original 5 and 6 hundred dollars for the first model. I just can't be that careful with a phone. I don't trust myself with one.
3) In Sports, it was a big weekend. The Boston Celtics went ahead 2-0 in the NBA Finals last night, staving off a come from behind push by the Los Angeles Lakers. I for one say: Fuck L.A. Big Brown, such a favorite to win the Triple Crown for the first time in 30 years that if you bet 2 dollars to win, you owed the track 4 dollars, came in dead last after the jockey pulled up on the beast. The trainer and vet team later found no cause or ailment in the horse, but in this situation I am going to trust the jockey. They weren't there and if he felt concerned about his mount then I say he did the right thing. Rafael Nadal, who owns clay courts like I own that Korean mail order bride in my attic, won his fourth straight French Open in Tennis. Why is this important?? It's not, but hey, all majors get a spot on Bearsuits.
3a) In College Baseball news, I watched some. And if that wasn't news enough, then you didn't. I don't know what the hell happened outside of Baton Rouge, because frankly I could give a shit, but on the last weekend of old Alex Box some crazy stuff happened. On Saturday, UC-Irvine beat up on the Tigers pretty bad. 11-5, and most everyone just blamed it on the white jerseys. We did get one of the most amazing catches I have seen:
And of course there is the fake hidden ball trick. I say fake, because the LSU runner was standing on the bag, and neither umpire caught on tape was even looking at the vicinity of second base. So whatever. But Sunday was game 2, and boy, oh boy, was it a good game. I wouldn't know, I was watching Recount on HBO (Recommend). But once that was over I remembered about the game. I tune in to the bottom of the ninth, where LSU rallied for 5 runs, pulling ahead 9-7. They kept that lead until the end of the game, leading to the rubber match tonight at 6pm on ESPN.
4) In Entertainment, Bo Diddley was remembered at a service which I can only assume was awesome, and a concert afterwards which I can only assume was even awesomer. If you didn't think that Lionel Richie was a badass, then you do now. He made fun of his own stupid daughter on national tv. I love this guy, and not just for his haunting melodies and lyrics. Finally, Alabama is suing their own drummer for over $200,000, which I love. Song, song of the south; sweet potato pie and GIVE ME MY FUCKING MONEY YOU SCUMBAG!!!5) David Felinton, mayor of Huntington, WV, will receive my vote for any office he wants to hold. This guy is a class act, vetoing his won payraise. And this chicken who took up residence outside McDonalds, holding up the purchasing of McNuggets, also wins my respect for helping out his fellow chickens.
6) I hate people.
Well, that's about it. It's like the old Sichuan proverb said: "No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat."
