not sure when im gonna back on it. hope youre good.

here are a couple photos from the mp3 beatdown. truuue.

i need a bit

in the meantime, lets take a ride on the red line

mp3 beatdown

one of the most fun nights ive had. at the ica, one free complimentary drink courtesy of puma, great dj, great mc, 8 teams battling with 45 second mp3 punches in the ring for the heavyweight title belt.

showed up ontime and hung out looking over the harbor. what a nice setting. kicked it and gave props to the dj and said good luck to the lab crew and dapped up your boy c dubs. said whatup to your boy new from puma who produced the whole thing, gotta give thanks for that.

views of boston, tons of old school rap, many people having a good time, some incredible break dancing, some friends, it doesnt get much better. puma, you aint bad.

this rock was not here yesterday.

“Some of these things cannot be trained, obviously,” said Jennifer Murphy, a psychologist at the Army Research Institute and the principal author of the I.E.D. study. “But some may be; these are fighters who become very sensitive to small changes in the environment. They’ll clear the same road every day and notice ridiculously subtle things: this rock was not here yesterday.”

in support of all the troops and hoping you all come back home soon

i'm going to go to the library tmrw and get joker one and read it.

collaborative filtering

wow what a phrase. my new favorite phrase. collaborative filtering. it's already how you experience the internet.

a group of people filter out bad information and identify and highlight the good information. this is how certain forums get their value.

looking for something? someone's found it for you and wants you to know.

the truman, i mean the marbury show

stephon marbury is my new favorite person. because he's amazing.

"Going bald at 19 is not sexy. Its not the jump-off."

after the 24 hour ustream thing he then did a nother justin.tv thing.

he's at justin.tv/starburytv

it's like the truman show! except it's the marbury show!

it looks like he's gonna be on the web until he signs a new contract! and if he doesnt? well, i guess we have a lot to look forward to

here's the 24 hour transcript with some good quotes -- marbury 24hr transcript | nba musings

i'll let you find the other links. yeah stephon! taking the internet by storm.

hi how are you? i can't really talk, so we'll have to catch each other sometime soon.

here's a funny photo that's joking about the boston college quarterback situation. haha very funny, but who's actually gonna be the quarterback? will bc win any games? time will tell.

yah. everything's good. weather hasn't been so bad, i havent dropped any air conditioners on anyones head, haven't gotten any parking tickets, so i cant really complain.

so yeah, task at hand. gotta focus on the task at hand.

bonjour!

boating fail

someone get this guy a bailer

hey

hey im busy running around and stuff. weve put air conditioners in, but, like a fool, i brought my roommates up. now that hes put his in we run the risk of tripping the breaker (the electric wiring in this old apt is horrible, and ive had to go reset the breaker box many times)

here are all the cambrige farmers markets. what an exciting screenshot. i got a dozen eggs in central sq today. im gonna try 3 of them tmrw. am very excited. cya

NS 8 Flow 2

i saw unmistaken child today. it blew me away. i cried like 15 times. what a beautiful, stunning, pretty much unfathomable movie. wow.

and i wanna go back and see the hurt locker tmrw.

went to soulelujah. now my legs hurt.

here's the link for the trailer for unmistaken child. i'd recommend you see it if it's playing in your area. otherwise it's at the kendall sq cinema for the rest of the week.

Unmistaken Child

i'm slowly getting my words back, allow me to collect the alphabet

swami

the idea is to make it to the farmers markets, then the pool

oh yeah and i finally put in the air conditioner. i think this is a record for the latest date that ive had an air conditioner in my room. ahhh it feels nice tho

hey

hey i was out of town for a day im still getting caught up lemme get back to ya

yo

yo in 30 seconds here's how it went down -- 4th of july weekend was great. busy and fun and such. this past weekend was also terrific. busy and fun and friends.

tonight i went and saw dj rupture and dj c at enormous room. totally impromptu show. thank god i get the enormous room emails, otherwise i wouldnt have known about it. went with some friends, bumped into a friend, good times.

i got a question as to where i got these strange photos from (i've posted a couple more)

here's the answer -- Carlo Van de Roer. just click on portfolio then the aura portrait machine. don't ask me how i found this, cause i don't really recall. but the photos are awesome

yeah. so i didnt do weekend recaps the past couple weekends. but everything has been pretty fantastic. and today i sat in the sun (lil sunburn) and played basketball (lil sore).

i had my first real introduction to cumbia tonight, and it was so cool. i had listened to it a bunch but for the first time tonight i got to hear it loud and live. i'll try to dig up some more information about it.

cumbia es en mi alma!

and here we are

right here

note to self

when you have a large party and you expect there to be a lot of people in your kitchen, temporarily remove the knobs for the burners on your gas stove

also -- guys in Massachusetts have no style. sad but true sometimes. i was told this tonight, and had to share it.

hope you had a good one
