Another name by any other name would be a different name
Ever wonder what your name would be if you were born this year instead of the year that you were actually born? Me neither, but this thing is still fun.

My baseball card collection
(Plus two football cards.)
I've been going through my old baseball card collection with my son and we've been having a blast. Although my collection isn't worth the millions of dollars I hoped it would be when I grew up, I am happy to say that it is worth over $300. Well done, 11-year-old Ryan Danger Sims. Well done.

Read If You Have Spare Time:
If you're looking for something great to read, I highly recommend the Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French. I stumbled upon the author by chance when looking for an easy beach read while on vacation. I was surprised to find an excellent author with a number of compelling stories under her belt. I ranked them in order with my favorites at the top.

Fun with Twitter
Amazon wrote me about some headphones I ordered, but they attached the wrong photo. I made a joke about it on Twitter and they reached out to me. In the end they seemed much more concerned about my customer experience than my physical wellbeing.

Calm Down, Roberts
I already posted about this LA Times article on Twitter and Instagram, but I'ma rant about it here too as it really rankles my cankles™.
I've been listening to rap for a long time. Maybe not ever since honeys was wearin' Sassoon, but at least since Cube messed around and got a triple double. My point is that I am familiar with the genre. I've also read a buttload of classic literature. I'm not sure how many books, since I was too busy reading to learn math. Let's just say I've read somewhere between 1 and 5,000,000,000 books.
I have read a couple of Faulkner's novels and they were amazing. I have listened to a few of Kendrick Lamar's songs and they were okay. What in the actual frick is this Rand Rob dude talking about? There are so many African-American artists he could have compared to Faulkner, but Randy Robby chose the "Halle Berry, hallelujah. Holla back, I'll do ya" guy? WTF?
EXTRA BONUS SECTION!!!
I have included two quotes below, one from Faulkner and one from Lamar. See if you can tell which one is which!
“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world . . . would do this, it would change the earth.”
"She eyeing me like a n*gga don't exist. Girl, I know you want this dick!"

Extreme back scratching
I've said it before and I've said it again, and I'll say it again . . . again: Australians are badass.
A man who was involved in a pub fight didn’t let the knife sticking out of his back get in the way.
He went to order another pint from the bar before going to hospital.
The 27-year-old got into a scrap at Beerwah Hotel on Australia’s Sunshine Coast with another man, 20.
They were kicked out of the bar where the fight continued with the 27-year-old being stabbed.
Despite the knife still being lodged in his back he returned to the bar and ordered another beer.
Once he’d finished he went to Sunshine Coast University Hospital, according to the Sunshine Coast Daily.
A Queensland police spokesman said that there had been a ‘substantial’ amount of alcohol involved and that the two men knew one another.
The victim does not want to press charges.

It's that time of the year
The Ultimate Women’s Expo is back.
Aside from the problematic idea of a "women's" expo that consists primarily of cooking, makeovers and beauty treatments, this thing seems like something Stefon would describe in one of his waking nightmares.
“This expo's got everything: group tastings, monochromatic pop up shops, a middle-aged A.C. Slater. . . .”

Sending it!
Last weekend my friend Shawn invited me to Mammoth Mountain to shred the gnar, and get absolutely no sleep.
That's me on the left, Shawn in the middle, and Jeremy on the right.
I got a great shot of Shawn while taking a beer break at the top of the mountain. Click on it to see it in its full glory.
Perhaps the most exciting thing on the trip was when we got to take on an actual Super-G course. I usually board freestyle, but I have to admit it was a lot of fun hauling ass down the mountain. Check out my top speed!

Have you seen this blog?!
Check out this retro-style graphic I made to advertise for my blog. I guess if you're reading this, you don't need to see the ad because you're already here. Oh well, too late now!

Cereal offenders
Apparently the bar has been set so low by modern breakfast cereal companies that the trend is to advertise what their products do not contain.
I made a few ad graphics that apply to almost every cereal in the US. Advertisers reading this may use these free of charge.

I told you so, Diana!
I’ve been proselytizing the gospel of Guinness for as long as I can remember, but people still don’t believe the message. Check out this menu from Claim Jumper’s that shows the calories of the beers on tap. Guinness is a light beer, people!
