Although it came out about a month ago, I finally just saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs video for one of their newer tracks, "Zero." What makes it even more cool is that it was entirely filmed in San Francisco. And it's a great song to boot. Check it out.

Larger than life
Was hanging out at a friend's place last night to hang out. Whereas most people are getting HDTVs and flat screens, he opted for the projector setup. Luckily he was blessed with a huge white wall so didn't even need to get a screen. I was pretty impressed with the quality. After watching this very entertaining clip of the Beckham's being interviewed by Ali G, we decided to watch Superbad. Always a classic. I have to admit it was probably one of the bigger personal screens I've watched on. I'm guessing the picture was somewhere between 10' and 12' wide.
BTW, what I loved about this interview was how much of a good sport (and funny) Victoria Beckham was. And she was smiling! And laughing! When's the last time you saw that?

Lightning quick
The other day, Usain Bolt (Jamaica) broke the world record in the men's 100m with a time of 9.69 seconds. This time broke the world record by 0.05 seconds with absolutely no wind assistance. At only 21 years old, Bolt is definitely someone to watch. Obvious to anyone who witnessed this race, what made it even more incredible is how he shot so far ahead from the pack that he actually slowed down to celebrate before he crossed the finish line. And his show was evidently untied as well. When asked how fast he could have ran, Bolt blew off the question saying who cares. And he's supposedly even better at the 200m.
Another interesting tidbit about Bolt is that he turned down multiple scholarships from US universities because he wanted to stay in Jamaica.
I think you can tell he's a pretty mellow guy who just loves to run fast (insanely fast). I'm a fan.
Today, Bolt blew past the competition once again jogging to the finish in all of his 200m heats. Can't wait to see how well he'll do in the final.

Urban Honey
I caught this short for the first time at the Alamo Square movie night, and thought it was awesome on so many levels.

Hipster portrait.
I love this photo that Lilia took of Charm and me back at a party we co-hosted a few months ago. The theme was to dress hipster, and in that regard I think we succeeded.

Congratulations Danica.
The other day, 26-year old Danica Patrick became the first woman to win an IndyCar race. The race was the Indy 300 in Montegi, Japan held on April 20. Although it was a long time coming, it's pretty cool that it finally happened. It sucks that some journalists are starting a controversy that her win was mainly due to her lower body weight of 100 pounds. Yea right. It's even better that she won due to various sexist comments that other drivers made over the last few years. I hope there are a lot more wins in her future. Cheers for breaking down boundaries.

I felt like I was in high school.
Charm scored us some awesome orchestra seats to the opening night of High School Musical playing at the Orpheum. I seem to always like a lot of things the kids like, so she thought I'd enjoy it. And enjoy it, I did.
We ended up going to a lot of shows, but I can't remember ever leaving so happy. The Disney magic was definitely in the air. I won't hide the fact that I really enjoyed it. It's only playing for 12 days, so if you can get some tickets, I'd check it out!
