Contact Juggling - pretty amazing
2008-06-15 13:50:00 It’s neat. It’s mesmerizing. It’s hard to explain. It’s called Contact Juggling .

Think you can balance the budget?
2008-05-28 22:43:00 Give it a try with NPR’s web based game. Marketplace brings us a generic look at how the budget can turn around, in a cartoony manner. This way we can forget how it would really effect actual people if the changes would happen. Plus, the options are few and basic. Stuff like Flat tax or ... More About: Balance , Budget

How to get what you want
2008-04-10 08:59:00 This internet thing has really brought out some creative ideas. You may remember the One Red Paperclip site from a couple years ago where a guy started with a single red paperclip and traded his way all the way up to a house. Now, an artistic couple from NYC are painting what they want and selling it for the actual price of the item they want. The list includes food, electronics, charity stuff and rent to name just a few. For example, they painted a picture of hot wings from a local hangout and sold it for $12.70. Or, the painting of the iPhone they wanted sold for $432.42. The site is called WantsForSale.com and it chronicles the needs that have been met and the new things they want (currently nothing). Technorati Tags: One Red Paperclip, WantsForSale.com
The Best Little League Game Ever
2008-04-09 08:25:00 Those crazy cats over at Improv Everywhere have done it again. They descended upon an unsuspecting little league game in Hermosa Beach, CA. And by descended, I of course mean they brought a bunch of fans, a Jumbotron, some NBC play-by-play announcers and the Goodyear blimp. The cool part is no one was in on it except the commissioner of the league.

Time to get Schlitz-faced
2008-04-08 19:44:00 Old-School brew Schlitz is attempting a comeback. Currently owned by another throwback brand, Pabst Brewing Co., they’re releasing a classic formula called “Classic 1960s Formula” in bottles in select markets. According to an article in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “…Pabst is selling bottled Schlitz as a sudsy comfort food for men in their 50s and early 60s. Those drinkers mostly came of age in the 1960s, when Schlitz was advertised as the beer with “gusto.” Take a look at Schlitzgusto.com for more info on the brew.

Security guard fired for securing
2008-04-07 05:18:00 How retarded is this! Dean Babcock, a TARGET security guard in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin was fired recently for busting a 16 year old girl for shoplifting alcohol from the store. I would say alleged, but he caught her not once, but twice, and had video evidence on top of it. But because he was but an underling, they fired his ass. That makes perfect sense.
