Astroland Closes - For Good
Astroland closes its gates for good. Caveat: We heard the same story last year. Are they serious this time?
Sarah Palin - Flag Bikini & BB Gun

Hey it’s better than seeing McCain in a bikini!
UPDATE: Apparently its fake - source: Sarah Palin photo not real
New Mackbook Pro?
Not quite, but I did get apple to put a motherboard into my MBP. It was having some real problems with booting up and the screen flickering and after 3 visits to the “genius” bar they finally recognized that there was a problem. It was definitely hard to go without the computer for a week but it is now worth it. The computer feels more responsive (probably just b/c I have been using my old laptop), appears to boot fine, and more importantly works without issue on my external monitor.
Below is a video of what the video card would occasionally do when using any number of applications - it took me showing them that I had evidence that my laptop was broken stunting their standard “we can’t reproduce it” response to get any movement on the issue.
The part that is listed on the service details from apple is “605-1212 SVC,PCBA,MLB,2.4GHZ” - which after a quick search I realized it is indeed a new logic board.
Star Magazine - My Paparazzi photo
As you probably know, mainly b/c I am telling everyone I see on the street, I took a photo of american idol vote off - jason castro shopping for an engagement ring with his girlfriend. Below is a quick scan from the August 6th editoin of Star Magazine.

Random Cam
Goto the random cam page here OR look to the right sidebar for the four newest photos in the gallery.I recently bought a new pocket camera (kodak 1033) and have decided to start carrying it around with me. There are lots of neat things going on in NYC and I rarely have a capable camera on hand.
Road Trip Photos - Up

I have uploaded the Road Trip 2008 photos onto my flickr. I still need to sort through the actual bachelor party sets and upload a combined album. I also want to aggregate all the twitter posts onto a page as a road trip log.

Sound of Silence
Sound of Silence from Jim Crews on Vimeo.
As I was escaping a hot summer saturday I ducked into the NY public library. I took a seat in the back of an exhibit hall. As I was sitting down the Simon & Garfunkels song “Sound of Silence” came on and the scene above unfolded. I thought it was pretty neat and decided to film it.

Tshirts from the internet
Maybe the title should be Tshirts about the internet? Either way, every month I get a shipment of dot.com paraphernalia from startupschwag.com. I just received my 3rd shipment and so far I can only report positive things. I liked all the companys they have sent for the shirts and any cool stickers are a bonus. I believe it to be well priced at $15, especially for a web geek like myself! Below is my latest shipment with a tshirt from lijit (blog stats & search company) and the other three have recently been added to my flickr.
