Currently playing the 2004 soulful electronic hip-hop album (and an honourable mention on my nearly completed list of the best albums of the 2000s) Connected by The Foreign Exchange on my HTC Hero as I’m pumping the tunes from said smartphone into a pair of Plantronics 590 stereo bluetooth headphones (which are almost 3 years old but still work/pair/sound as good as new). All while I’m...

Alomar to enter Canada's baseball Hall |... →
Canada showing Cooperstown how it’s supposed to be done. Arguably the greatest 2nd basemen ever and easily the best infielder that I grew up watching/supporting/admiring. Congrats Robbie. Enjoy this great honour and see you in Cooperstown in 2011…that is if the idiotic writers can get their act together and finally let go of the spitting incident while allowing Alomar’s...

Streaks at stake as Senators play host to Devils →
Brick City’s in Canada’s Capital Region tonight. I’ll bee dat! Section 119, Row B, Seat 7. If you’re watching in HD (SportsNet in Canada), I’ll be situated on the far left-hand-side of the screen, 2 rows up from the ice (that is, if I’m not up and about getting some beer). But more importantly, there will be a hockey game going on. Good evening.
Edit: I’m...

WatchPharrell Keynote at MIDEM 2010
If you’ve been following this little page of mine for the past (almost) 3 years, you’ll know very well that Pharrell Williams is one of my idols, both from a musical standpoint, fashion-wise and his overall expression/artistic vision in everything that he’s done (both the successes and failures) has been an inspiration to me for the majority of the...

– Conan’s final words to his loyal fans as host of The Tonight Show. Great message/advice to take to heart. Loved the entire swan song broadcast from top to bottom. Plus The Roots and Fallon pouring out a little OE in Studio 6A in honour of Conan’s Tonight Show tenure right at the very...

WatchOK, time’s up! Actually the answer to the sample question has been all over the hip hop blogs in the past 2-3 days, so I’m not happening upon something entirely new. But I for one didn’t know about this sample until very recently, so it’s definitely new(s) to me. Now then, here’s the dope music video to one of the illest hip hop joints ever, containing one of the TOP...

– The great Norm Macdonald, masterfully reciting his hilariously bittersweet 7 month-old (for the bit, I imagine) greeting card (complete with a gift basket) to Conan O’Brien during his surprise, kick-ass walk-on appearance on The Tonight Show on Tuesday evening. Also, Quentin Tarantino was his...

Leno's moronic 10 @ 10 segment featuring Michael...
Jay Leno: Number 7 - Can you still dunk and when was the last time you tried?
Michael Jordan: Can I still dunk? Are you stupid? Yeah, I can still dunk!
(audience applauds)
MJ: Hey look, I'm old but I'm not lame. I can still jump, yeah I can still palm a basketball. Yeah, I can still dunk a basketball! Are you kidding me?
Leno: Whoa! Man, getting testy! (Jay, you just asked the G.O.A.T. athlete if he can still dunk, you fucking moron!)
MJ: Yeah, I AM testy. That's a DUMB question! (testify, MJ!)
Full clip (best believe I didn't watch it on TV): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5osJ8-NttnU
Can't believe that this creepy asshole is getting The Tonight Show back.

September 13, 1993 O’Brien Flops! By CONAN O’BRIEN
Conan O’Brien is host of “Late Night.”
There has been much speculation about the new “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” Little is known about the new host, and even less about the show’s format. Last week, this writer had the opportunity to watch a test show in Rockefeller Center’s...

– Ricky Gervais introducing Mel Gibson with the bit/setup/line of the night at the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards. Ricky could barely hold it together near the end of this intro/segue and I don’t blame him; that hilarious jab was masterful. As for the rest of the show, I also enjoyed...

9 Least Effective Exercises - WebMD →
Resistance training > cardiovascular exercise
Although cardio is also very important, building muscle mass is just as effective (in particular, circuit training kills both exercise birds with one intense stone) and gives you more bang for your fitness buck by increasing your metabolism (i.e. fit muscles can burn more calories even when you’re sitting comfortably still while finishing off...

People of Earth:
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and...

– Conan, leading off a string of NBC/Leno-themed jabs on Monday night’s ep of The Tonight Show (still currently hosted by Conan O’Brien). NBC doesn’t deserve you at all, Conan. On the other hand, “White All Night” on BET sounds like an excellent use of your immense...
