Omea Reader...
Okay, so since I started this blog thing my number of favorite websites is growing exponentially. I’ve know about RSS feeds for a long time but I never felt the need to go that route. I’m still very much a fan of going to the websites and seeing the content in its entirety. However, I’m trying to pull information from so many sites sometimes its really nice to be able to view...

Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike →
Shots from our July 2007 expedition to the abandoned stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, America’s first modern highway. The pike was built in the 1930s and this segment was bypassed in 1968 due to tunnel congestion. The area is now owned by the Southern Allegheny Conservancy and is open for cycling and hiking between Route 30 and Pumping Station Road. Some of the areas shown here are...

Urban Dictionary: Word of the Day
1. good landing serendipitous success, surprising satisfaction, landing as lightly as a cat, being better than before. Old pilots say, “Any landing you walk away from is a good landing.” After a divorce that tore me up, I made a good landing. My boss fired me the week before Christmas, but I made a good landing. The morning sun is shining and I’m coming in for a good landing. ...
Hot New Talent Alert: The Gadsdens →
Newcomers The Gadsdens like to describe their music as “Tracy Chapman on uppers and Stevie Nicks on downers,” and that’s a pretty good way to sum up their sound. The Gadsdens combine melodic sensibilities with a heartfelt delivery that results in poignant pop music that will move you. (via arjanwrites.com) replaceIfFlash9("audio_player_21670745",'<div...

Juno (NOT like the city in Alaska)
I’ve been reading a lot of about Juno recently and it has been nothing but good. I am happy to say that I saw it last night and it far exceeded any expectations I had going into it. First off the cast, mainly Ellen Page and Michael Cera, are great. I was telling Sara that Ellen Page kind of reminds me of a fushion between Sarah Silverman and Janeane Garofalo. I don’t know, it was...

40 oz Cozy!
Keep your King Cobra cool to the last drop with this 40 oz Cozy ($12). Constructed of neoprene with a possible gang-related design, the super size cozy has a handle for making your favorite malt treat even easier to handle. There ain’t nothing like a gangsta party. If this isn’t the best idea ever, then I don’t know what is.

Another song this morning...
No one is at work today, so I can browse as much of the internet as I want and I can listen to my music as loud as I want. I’ve got like a million tabs open, one of which is pandora radio. I’m listening to my John Mayer radio station and this Jack Johnson song comes on that I’ve never heard before. Its not as upbeat as some of his other songs, but I really enjoy it and so here...

Despite the ongoing writers strike, both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have announced plans to return to the air. The funny men will resume production on their Comedy Central shows January 7th without any scribes, though. Unlike the other returning talk show hosts, however, the Daily Show and the Colbert Report are heavily scripted. Both programs will likely have to rely on much more...

God Hates the World →
The Westboro Baptist Church (that “God Hates Fags” crew from the heart of Jesusland USA) presents their cover “We Are the World,” rewritten and retitled as “God Hates the World.” The following spectacle managed to be both surreal and fleshcrawlingly creepy at the same time. I’m fairly sure all the people on screen are related to each other. If you can stomach it, the last twenty seconds are as...
