I’m going to watch this the rest of my life and cry about the fact that I wasn’t at either of these shows.

Penn State student tells ESPN firing of Joe Paterno was justified, gets shouted down by other students.

Love that the guy admits being worried about being out there despite his “strong minority” opinion, but keeps talking to the ESPN reporter anyway. This guy gets it.

Man, this guy single-handedly restored my faith in Penn State.

Check out the video I filmed the other night.

So I saw this and thought it looked kind of cool. Then I realized that it was shot outside my old apartment. Then I realized my old roommate was playing sax.

Weird?

Jean-Ralphio!

You’re so much more charming in real life…

I really like this, and I think my friend Brian would too. He’d probably tag it ‘weird’.

Golden Ages - Chinese Sun

From the moment this song starts, its claws snare you by the chest - that crunched bass! Those dreamtime vocals! This Philly outfit is ‘on hiatus’ but releasing this caliber of glo-fi wonderland makes me wonder if they’re on their way back up the mountain.

Super fun nuns n’ astronaut video directed by Ani Simon-Kennedy and Cailin Yatsko of Bicephaly Pictures. Love all the characters in this!

Steve Jobs’ commencement address at Stanford University in 2005. It’s particularly poignant today.

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
