Ha! It’s good to see people have fun with nature.

1. Flu me once, shame on you
   What to do if the flu comes for you.
2. The Cliq: Motorola’s first Android phone
   Looks like T-Mobile is backing Andriod to AT&T’s iPhone.
3. The NFL enters The Tyson Zone
   The NFL is a circus. These people are so far from normal it’s like someone thinking that Keanu Reeves can act. What a joke! As always, Simmons column is a laugh riot.
4. Microsoft hopes to turn it around with Zune HD
   Microsoft keeps selling, but people ain’t buying it.
5. Half-Life 2 Mod Is All “Pew Pew Pew”
   Ha! I almost forget what it’s like to be so bored that you’d undertake the task of swapping out all the sounds in a video game with your own personal sound effects. Hilarious.

Even Better Than the Real Thing

Video games are getting more and more realistic. Check out some of the grabs on this Russian site. [via Kotaku]

Coach Gillispie Looking for Help

I hate to see anyone struggling like he did. Hopefully his public admission that he’s got a problem with alcohol will start him on the long road to recovery.

1. The Death Book for Veterans
   So one way the Obama Administration believes it can solve the healthcare process is by “encouraging” veterans to sign a Do Not Resuscitate order. Funny. Veterans are typically Conservative voters, right? Hmm….
2. Get a new PlayStation 3 Slim for $199.99
   Holy price drops Batman!
3. T-Mobile unveils pay-as-you-go Android phone
   Android is starting to draw me in. How much longer can I hold out before punching my ticket?
4. Hands on with The Beatles: Rock Band
   As much as I love RB, I never could get into the Beatles. To me, they’re the most overrated band of all time.
5. Wozniacki to meet Wickmayer in semis
   Melanie Oudin went farther than anyone thought. I hope this means the U.S. Women will be getting another title contender.

Switchfoot’s New Single ‘Mess of Me’

I listened to The Legend of Chin back in the late 90′s and said, “I’ll pass.” but then bought New Way to Be Human a few years later. It’s good but not great.

Since that time, Switchfoot has grown to be one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics make you think and come from many angles. Their songwriting has gotten better and better. I love almost every song on Nothing Is Sound. So you better believe I’m going to buy Hello Hurricane when it comes out on November 3rd.

Stellar Basketball Trick Shots

Some of these are jaw-droppingly difficult. How many tries did it take??

L4D2 Is Going to Slam

Nice write-up at Kotaku about upcoming Left 4 Dead 2. Looking forward to it!

Hero Saves Busload of Kids at Gunpoint

A Mississippi football player tackle’s a gun-toting high school girl to prevent her from shooting anyone. So what is it that this boy’s Mom is most worried about?

“When he tackled her to get the gun he could’ve got shot you know — she could’ve shot him. … His career could’ve been ruined for the rest of his life,” Ora Eulls told HLN’s Mike Galanos.

What about his life? There are worse things than losing one’s career. Anyone else find this strange?

1. NFL bans tweeting before, during, after games
   Beware the Overlord! Why don’t they just take it up on a case-by-case basis?
2. GoogleVoice for military families
   I keep hearing good stuff about this. I need to check it out.
3. Old Dude Gives Move On The Finger, … Literally!
   I can’t believe the media hasn’t made this a bigger story. This is insane!!
4. Camelot Was A Liberal Delusion
   The revisionist historians started before the time of death was even called. Ted Kennedy was certainly a politician but to somehow manufacture that he was a good politician is a farse.
5. Al Qaeda Tells Obama He’s Going to Hell
   They might actually have this one right.
6. Boycotting the Boycotters
   “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” (via Thunderstruck)

Socialist Censorship, Courtesy the Obama Administration

Senate Bill 773 (Cybersecurity Act of 2009) might decide your Web site isn’t the right kind of change.

Isn’t it funny, and by funny I mean, scary as crap, that our elected officials have interpreted the Constitution to mean they know more than we do? (via Conservative Musings)

Basketball Trick Shot Takes It Up a Notch

I wonder how many tries it took this guy to make it? Wow.
