Glad that after writing this, I enjoyed the new movie. It paid enough homage to the original to earn its name/misnomer, depending on how you look at it. [Boingboing]

I forgot about this scene. But really, I never forgot what it meant.

Things To Do In 30 Days Off

Go to Australia or the Maldives and learn how to scuba
Get back to welterweight or light-middleweight
Surf 20 days
Read 20 books
Spend time with my dogs, maybe get another one
Start and name my ocean site
Relax
Get better at Scrabble
Practice swimming
See people I haven’t in a long time
Learn to cook 10 new meals
Sleep in late every day
See my dad
Grow my moustache
Figure out what an iPad is for
Get my medical card
Visit Matt in Santa Cruz

Update: Did all of this, except shaved moustache, didn’t see my dad, bought a house, learned to cook 4 new meals, read 10 books, learned scuba local, not in aust or maldives, and surfed 25 days, not 20.

I just discovered by means of my and Lisa’s favorite secret yakitori joint in SF, a cool surf band called the Shi-Tones. Lisa accidentally asked the waitress, whose father is in the band, what the shit-tones were. Whatever, anyhow, listen to their rendition of Sleepwalk if you feel like falling asleep and dreaming of nice things. And here’s a link to their performance of Endless Summer’s soundtrack, live.

Lobsters turn blue only one in 5 million; the royal variety earns its shade by processing astaxanthin, and antioxidant found in its food, better than its brethen. [LA Times]

Get Ready

Hi there! Been reviewing the type of stuff I reviewed year 2 in my career. Feels like Groundhog Day. I’ve got a massive backlog posts I’m going to spit out one line at a time, right now.

This edit of some skilled street fighter combos is entertaining to anyone who’s ever struggled to pull off a supermove at just the right movement. I believe footage is from the EVO 2k9 fighting game tournament, or perhaps it’s just scripted by macro commands. Either way, a fun watch. [GameTrailers]
