It’s that time of year — finals, papers, random meetings with classmates who want to "connect" before I get out of this horrible state.  Consequently, the quality of my posts may drop off for the next two weeks.  I promise to bring you quality content when I get back to the ocean.  That said, I’ll do my best to keep up w/ my posts.

Today’s theme song of the day is "Buggin’ Out" by A Tribe Called Quest.  What could be more fresh?!

 

"A lot of you are going to have to make decisions above your level. Make the best decision that you can with the information that’s available to you at the time, and above all, do the right thing."  Lee Scott -CEO Walmart

And here is something that got my through my horrible internship this summer. It’s a realtime counter that keeps track of how much you make. You choose whichever way you like: hourly, weekly, monthly or annually - and scroll to your salary. The webpage calculates the money you make per day, per hour, per minute and per second (in real time) . It made my job suck just a bit less

And I can’t help but add this footage of the N/NW swell that hit La Jolla in December.

The theme song of the day is Themjeans’ remix of Shinin’ by The Pack ( You know them from that track Vans) I’ve been mixing this weekend so it’s bouncy and fun. I hope that you like it. I’ll post it in the comments..and here is the video for Vans — I played it a lot this time last year — definitely fresh.

This next video reminded me of those days at Blackie’s and Old Man’s, so I had to post it. Can’t wait for a Sunday morning longboard session … remember that time with the kayak in Laguna? Hahahaaha

And for those of you in my group who had to hear me comparing Altria and Nokia (cellphones and cigarettes) — Here’s an article for you:

I’ve been talking about The Cool Kids for a minute, but for those of you who still don’t know, today’s theme song is Klever’s Big Ride Remix of "Gold and a Pager."  This one is fresh.  I’ll post a couple other tracks in the comments. word.

Interview w/ Cool Kids and Klever. By the way, google is black today instead of white — I like it much better — it should always be black

I made it through another week…Hooray!!! Today’s theme song of the day is "Superstar" by Lupe Fiasco. I am really digging his new album. Check out this track (link to entire album in comments):

Long or Short has a great critique of the movie 21:

The real life MIT blackjack team was mostly asian and middle eastern, and the main guy, Jeff Ma, was asian (he later started PROTRADE). In the movie version, the lead is some banal young white “star” and Kate Bosworth.If an asian dude can’t be the star of a movie about going to MIT by day and counting cards by night…what exactly can he be in except for a kung fu movie? Not to go Stossel, but GIVE ME A BREAK.

Zenith Solar — Let’s talk about "Concentrated" Solar Power:

Compared with traditional flat photovoltaic panels made of silicon, this so-called "concentrated solar power" technology has proved in tests to be up to five times more efficient. That puts it on the verge of being competitive with oil and natural gas, even without government subsidies.

Today is a busy one: meetings, classes, workouts, and end of semester projects — so I need a theme song that is mellow but makes me smile. I have chosen Jack Johnson’s cover of Badfish/Boss DJ (Sublime). Add it to the last week’s tracks, and you have some great study music. Gotta run, but the link is in the comments section.

I still have a ton of thoughts to share — I’ll try to catch up this weekend.
