Summer Playlist: TheScrabbled Review
So, we just built a quick summer playlist. Now it’s your turn to review all the tracks, just like we did for the Who’s Next album discussion. Give each track a rating 1-5, initial impressions, etc.
When music gives you goosebumps.
There was a thread on reddit today that asked what songs give you goosebumps. I meant to leave a single suggestion and ended up getting a bit carried away, and writing a stream-of-consciousness list of what I think are some truly great moments in music history. My list below. Add yours under it.
Summer Playlist
Let’s build a summer playlist! Here are the rules:
Every comment must nominate two songs for the playlist, the next person must eliminate one song from the previous post and nominate two more.
Wii MotionPlus
I received Tiger Woods 10 for fathers day, it came with one motionplus. Let me tell you it makes a world of difference, much more realistic. anyone else try the different games with motionplus?
Vision for Space Exploration......
40 years after the moon landing the US of A sent up a LRO as the first step of the “vision”. "To successfully attain the goals of “The Vision”, including human exploration of the Moon, LRO will orbit the Moon,"

Mike Tyson: The Hangover
So, I saw The Hangover. It was funny, not quite the greatest comedy of all-time as some people have been making it out to be, just solidly amusing. But, the scene that struck me most was the one with Mike Tyson, and I’m surprised this hasn’t become a scandal, or at least an internet scandal.
The Facebook Haters Science Fair
Facebook, intended as a bold and glorious age of social networking, is actually this fetid wasteland where near-strangers and former high school classmates that I haven’t spoken to in many years gather to provide me with an endless stream of navel-gazing status updates that venture forth from the Realm of Too Much Information. Rashes, baby bowel movements, and bladder infections are all paraded around. As someone who carefully guards his private life, these status updates are simultaneously disturbing, horrifying, trashy, and utterly mesmerizing.
I propose sharing my pain with a Facebook Haters Science Fair. Details after the jump.

Last weekend I bought lobster for $6 a pound. Cheaper than organic chicken!

What would you do with $46 million.

The kicker… even if they never tried the public program. Is it me, teachers, or does that kind of suck?
