Well, he died on May 31, 1996. I didn’t mean he died again. So, on the anniversary of Timothy Leary’s death, I give you this documentary on LSD in four parts by filmmaker Aron Ranen that gives you a pretty good history of the drug (found at his YouTube page). After that is a short [...]

The Washington Post is reporting that the White House promises that all the details from the investigation into the Haditha killings will be made public. Yeah, well, I won’t hold my breath. Congressman Jack Murtha is all over this story (via rawstory at YouTube): Here’s another clip with Murtha but also includes BBC coverage of the [...]

I thought I’d follow up my earlier Barry Bonds video post with some clips of the legend he eclipsed, George Herman "Babe" Ruth.  I put together this video compilation of newsreels I found featuring Babe Ruth: This clip from chriskludge at YouTube features a little kid striking out a marionnette Babe Ruth. It’s very well done [...]

I know this is a little late but there’s usually a bit of a delay between a current event and when some video of the event gets posted. That, and, like many people, I’m awfully ambivalent about Barry Bonds passing Babe Ruth with home run number 715. I think he’s an amazingly talented baseball player. [...]

What I didn’t find was any Memorial Day video that did justice [...]

The movie stars Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Torro and features a ton of supporting names and cameos, including Tobey Maguire, Ellen Barkin, Gary Busey,  [...]

High gas prices for Memorial Day weekend got you bummed? I feel you. So do these people: Technorati tags: gas prices | memorial day weekend

I’ve officially been reprimanded for not posting the Halo 3 trailer. Duly noted. In March rumors were floating that the game would have four-player co-operative play and feature large, persistent worlds that would be dynamically affected by in-game events. May’s Game Informer magazine discussed a rumor that Bungie was teaming with Ensemble Studios to create [...]

Now that the Minnesota state legislature has passed and Governor Pawlenty has signed a Twins stadium bill, I thought it appropriate to post this takeoff of the movie Field of Dreams that I found at YouTube. It’s a pro-stadium promotional piece featuring Kirby Puckett shortly after he retired. It looks like it was done by [...]
