SHARK WEEK ACTUALLY STARTS AUGUST 1 AT MIDNIGHT!!!

This video took me over 40 times to do. I actually took a shot of Jack after about the 20th time to loosen up. I kinda tipsily uploaded the video before I turned off the computer+now I can't fathom doing it over again in order to fix the date. Forgive me.

ANYWAY.

Discovery's Shark Week begins Sunday, August 1 at Midnight. I'll be there with bells on. Per the video, here's some useful links:

And, of course, my Twitter where I'll be live-tweeting shows

Edit: *sigh* apparently Martha Stewart follows anyone who says her name on Twitter. <:( She don't care about meeeee.

I stumbled across Objektive One via Twitter some time ago. Artist+music maker. Indeed! 

He put together an awesome mashup:

1. Tik Tok (Babebot Mash Up) (Ke$ha Vs. Breakbot)
Ke$ha “Tik Tok” Vs. Breakbot “Baby I’m Yours”

2. Walking On A Dream (Tiger Roar Mash Up) (Empire Of The Sun Vs. Ratatat)
Empire Of The Sun “Walking On A Dream” Vs. Ratatat “Wildcat”

3. Over (Moonshadow Mash Up) (Drake Vs. Phantogram)
Drake “Over” Vs. Phantogram “As Far As I Can See”

Ke$ha's Tik Tok... I hate this song. I won't even link it. The radio edit left me feeling like I wanted to overnight some morning after pills to this chick with a dollar sign in her name. Objektiv One paired it up with Breakbot+it instantly becomes less of an obnoxious slwhore party-monster Diddy byproduct anthem. The contrast is such that the Ke$ha/TikTok lyrics seem to be playful when paired with the classy Breakbot keys. I can dig it!

Then there's two whole other awesome songs!

My twitter friend @Trucknology (#bayarea) sent this to my the other day. As you can see, it's the February cover of Juxtapoz Magazine (#bayarea). Your homework:

1. Check out Rahsaan/@trunknology's website - BH/Box in Hand Landscape. He skates, takes cool pics of the Bay, puts up neat stuff. Go on now.
2. Support Bay Area (#bayarea mothaeffa) publications+scoop up a Juxtopoz Magazine when you see one.
3. Observe the art. It's one of the most beautiful depictions of a shark I've seen. Thanks Rahsaan.

About the cover artist from Juxtapoz' site:

Juxtapoz Current Issue: Newsstand Cover #109 #344354
Certain artists just have that unexplainable thing. Josh Keyes, the cover artist for the February 2010 issue of Juxtapoz (n109 for those of you counting at home), has that thing. That wow thing. That awe thing. That beauty thing. That talent thing. With clean, stark white backgrounds and sometimes gentle sometimes ferocious animals inhabiting the human space we robbed from nature, Josh Keyes creates a mood unlike many we have ever shown on our covers before. He's just got that thing we were talking about.
