Ghosts

Now, Trent has done it again… but even more so.  His new album, The Slip.  Is totally free.  just go to the album’s website and download it in a variety of formats.   Then, enjoy.  I’ve listened to about half the songs, so I might be back later to do a short review… or I just may continue on with my day and forget, who knows.

Things you might forget before going to bed… especially if you’re a drunk Russian:

“Yuri Lyalin, 53, took a bus home, ate breakfast and apparently slept like a baby before his spouse noticed a handle sticking out of his back. “

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).

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. Watch the video below and click here to read the story.

On April 9th, 2008 - hundreds of blogs & websites (including TubaPants) are “going naked” in honor of CSS Naked Day. We’re stripping out the stylesheet code so you see the content of our site in the raw for a day.

This is the third year of the annual CSS Naked Day which honors web design and designers around the world who help make our websites and blogs look “pretty” to the eye while still being totally functional under the hood. A fella by the name of Dustin Diaz created the concept, and this is his site.

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.
