• That just breaks my heart. With 60 titles under his belt, Agassi walks off the court after his last professional match amidst a champion’s ovation.
• Google got it in it’s head that it wants to improve its Google Images search. Rather than pore over the millions of indexed photos by themselves, they elicit the help of the unwashed masses. But how to get the public to do your work for you? Turn it into a game!
• Cherry picking at it’s finest. If you don’t know what cherry picking means, you’re probably a girl.
• The perfect iTunes equalizer setting? That’s up to my ears to decide! Even though a perfect setting cannot exist, this setting does sound pretty damn good.
• Hack a coke machine. Get a free coke. Lather, rinse repeat.
• A guy plays Mozart’s 40th symphony with rollerblades and half-filled glass coke bottles. I bet Mozart never thought of that.
• 99 wolves crash into a wall, 99 wolves crash… Ok. So the song doesn’t work with wolves crashing into a wall. But this art installation of 99 wolves crashing into a glass wall surprisingly… does.
• This is an ice cream / chocolate place I will definitely need to check out. Remind me!
• Harry Potter fans discover a continuity error that will be fixed in the next edition–illustrating that they have no lives. No news there.
• iTunes to have movie downloads for $14.99 this month. I think that’s stupid. I wouldn’t pay $14.99 for iTunes-resolution video. That also better not be the only Apple news announced on September 12. I want those freakin’ Meroms in the MacBooks.
• Who said squirrels are scary, feral vermin? They need love too.
• The prettiest subway station in the city? Yeah, I wasn’t expecting much either. But I was proved wrong.
• Missing Munch paintings discovered! Now we can all enjoy the Scream again! Ahhhhh! I scream for Munch’s Scream! Ok, I’ll stop. Sorry.
• McDonald’s, being the ever-responsible-corporate-entity that they are has redesigned their McFlurry cups so that hedgehogs can’t get their heads stuck in them anymore. Who knew that was a problem? I can’t wait until McDonald’s makes their cups so small that humans can’t get obese from them anymore. HA!
• Morgan Library: another place I need to check out. And judging from this picture, a place I may want to spend a lot of time in.
• Diddy has to pee. Let’s watch Diddy pee. Let’s hear what Diddy has to say about pee. Let’s slap a reality show together about it and put it on MTV.
• Wikipedia has a massive 14 megapixel shot of San Francisco in ruins after the 1906 earthquake. And this was before digital imagery. It’s simply… breathtaking.
• Do you remember this commercial? I swear, it brings me back to my living room all those years ago as a wee little lad…

That’s all folks (thank God). I’m spent.
