While Kanye West continues to pump out hits, one largely overlooked track was Good Morning. The video is such a trip - conceived from the mind of Takahashi Murakami. Check it out:
Enjoy!

Lidell Townsell - Nu Nu - 1992 Flashback
I remember hearing this song growing up by Lidell Townsell called 'Nu Nu', and for some reason a bunch of remixes are hitting the streets now. I am telling you - the 1990s are back!

Toshiba making non-glasses required 3D TV
One thing I don't really like about watching things in 3D are wearing glasses. It is rather uncomfortable, and very impractical if you invite a bunch of people over to watch something in 3D.
Thank goodness Toshiba is developing a non-glasses required 3D TV! Might actually have to check this out.
From AP:
TOKYO (AP) -- Japanese electronics maker Toshiba Corp. said Tuesday it is developing technology for a 3-D television that won't require special glasses.
Company spokeswoman Yuko Sugahara confirmed such technology was in the works. But she declined to comment on a report in the Yomiuri newspaper that the Tokyo-based company plans to start selling the new TVs by the end of the year.
Mainstream 3-D TVs now on sale, such as those from rivals Panasonic Corp. and Sony Corp., require glasses. But there are already screens that don't require glasses, mainly intended for store displays. They require the viewer to stand in specific spots for the 3-D effect to emerge, and the image quality is much lower than that of screens using glasses.
Yomiuri said Mitsubishi's technology involves transmitting different images at various angles to create an illusion of dimension and depth, a principle used by current glasses-free monitors.
Electronics companies have been investing heavily in 3-D technology for televisions, betting that people will want a 3-D experience at home following the success of blockbuster movies such as "Avatar," which was screened in 3-D.
Some gadgets such as handheld game machines from Nintendo Co. can deliver 3-D images without special glasses.
"Many people don't like to wear glasses to watch TV for a long time, especially people who must wear 3-D glasses over regular glasses," Sugahara said.

Roger Federer's Trick Shot
Roger Federer, the former #1 player in the world, is one of the smoothest guys on and off the court.
For his latest stunt, he shows off his accuracy on his serve, much to the chagrin of a poor stage hand on a commercial shoot.
There are rumors it is fake, but I believe it.
Following his opening match at the Cincinnati Masters on Wednesday, he was asked directly whether the video is real.
Federer responded, "A magician doesn't tell how his tricks work."
Kind of reminds me of Ronaldinho's Crossbar Trick video from Nike

Rico Suave live on Arsenio Hall
People keep mentioning Rico Suave to me at work so I thought I'd let you reminisce about this classic one-hit wonder by Gerardo!
I love the guys in the sombreros in the background, and I definitely remember these Bobby Brown-type moves!

The LXD on Hulu
Have you heard of the Hulu show: The LXD aka the League of Extraordinary Dancers?
It has a very "Heroes" feel to it, except it is like watching super heroes who are the JabBaWocKeez.
Very cheesy but enjoyable to watch.

Koreans are addicted to the Internet
I just read that Koreans (in Korea) are addicted to the Internet. Mainly gamers are addicted, and I'm pretty sure that it's not just in Korea.
Press release
"The South Korean government is stepping up efforts to tackle internet addiction among its citizens, who enjoy the fastest and cheapest broadband connections in the word, per the Washington Post. Proposals include limiting the hours that multiplayer games are available online."
