The coolest thing I have seen all day

And it isn't related to the new iPhone OS dropping soon. This SCAD student's final project is way better than an essay. Plus I love Röyksopp. This is Eple. [via Giz]

Funniest thing I've seen today

Nice thighs, Joe.

Han Solo P.I.

I saw this on Gizmodo, and needed to share. Too funny!

Too cute for words

Leave Your Umbrella at Home

Mamma Mia! (Here I go again)

On Tuesday night Alex and I saw Mamma Mia at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. WHAT A SHOW! I saw it for the first time a few years ago in London's West End, so I didn't think it could get any better. The first time he saw it, Alex thought it was cheesy, so we sat with different expectations as the overture started. By the time Sophie came out on stage I remembered why this is one of my favorite shows; it took Alex until the title song started.

The show was just as great as I remembered, and there were some surprises that I forgot about. Apart from the occasional extra loud bongo, the orchestra rocked all the ABBA classics. For those of you who don't know the story, I won't spoil it, but the premise is that a wedding is about to begin on a Greek island (not Lesbos) and they manage to seamlessly weave all the best ABBA has to offer.

If you aren't on your feet dancing by the end of the show, you have left too soon. If you have seen it, leave a comment below or a voicemail in the column to the right - I'd love to hear your thoughts.

It plays at the Fox every night at 8:00 until Sunday, June 15. Tickets are going fast (the place was packed at Tuesday's opening night performance) so get yours now - that means you, Steve! They run $35.00 - $64.00. I thought I would share another ABBA favorite below. Enjoy.

Where in the world is Hot Gay Joe?

Watching Mamma Mia, that's where! I will be be at the Fox Theatre tonight for the opening of Mamma Mia. If you haven't seen the show (or want to see it again), tickets are still available. The details are below. I guarantee you will be dancing in the aisles by the end of the show. I'll provide more details and a review of the traveling show later this week. Stay tuned! If you need a taste of the music, I posted a video below.

The Gaykin

Is he outing himself on QVC via his new song? Could Woz's ex gal pal be right!? You be the judge. Lyacs and video below.

The lyrics:

Foolish heart looks like we’re here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don’t let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I’m empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

[Chorus:]
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I’m loosening my grasp
There’s no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I’m tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade…

People who use Apple products are too cool for nails

I Heart Idol

No music group owes Guitar Hero a greater debt of gratitude than Heart. Had millions of kids not 'strummed' their heart's out to Heart's Barracuda (including this eight year old), they might have had the opportunity the did last night - performing with Fergie on Idol Gives Back. It was a great performance. Check out the clip below.

A penny for your dots

That's all they were paid - $.01, yet 10,000 people participated in this project to "explore the circumstances we live in, a new and uncharted combination of digital labor markets, "crowdsourcing," "virtual economies," and digital reproduction."

It is funny some people chose to represent their section of the Benja'man. Check out the video below for more info and here for an interactive bill.

Please Don't Stop the Music

Here is the final entry from the Costa Rican adventure! Not much to say about the whitewater rafting (pictures below). The real story is the following video. Just released today, the contents of this video were prepared for the three birthday boys on our trip: Alun, Darell and Kevin. I hope you enjoy watching as much as we did making it - be sure to stay for the credits.

Scarry...they have a vote

I'm all for freedom and the American way, but this is ridiculous. These middle-aged women have ruined a gay anthem! Next time I am out at Blake's and I hear the real Weather Girls, I might have to leave the room to vomit. If you have a pair of ear plugs and a strong stomach, listen away. Also notice how Estelle Costanza's doppelganger becomes a floating head in the Vietnam scene.

But don't talk back to Darth Vader...

If you missed this all over the internets yesterday, take a look at it here.
She is adorable!

Hot dogs and donuts

Though not as funny or hot as the the first, the cameos are worth the watch. Brad Pitt needs to shave. Be sure to check out Cameron Diaz's sign language at the end.

If Tina can do it...

Everyone needs a goal, and mine is to be as in shape as Tina Turner is when I am 68 years old (it is a much better shape than Aretha was in). That is going to take a lot of work (and not the kind of work that the woman selected to introduce the act has undergone). Starting today, I am going to make Proud Mary my new motivation - when I feel too tired to go to the gym, I am going remember Tina and Beyonce at the Grammys - if Tina can do it, I can do it!

Costa Rica is only 18 days and 23 hours away - I need abs by then! Proud Mary keeps on turning'

A little bit gay?

A little bit? Listen to the photographer - all the way to the end. A little bit?

Longer version is here.

Lost in 8:15

If you missed the season premiere, you can catch it on ABC.com. If you missed the past 3 seasons, check out the video below to catch up in 8:15. This season is going to be good!

Sarah is; I wish I was!

This is one more reason why I love Sarah Silverman AND Matt Damon.

Enjoy.

Idiots and Igloos

I am a regular reader of TowleRoad, and earlier today he reminded us of one more reason NOT to vote for Mike Huckabee. The video below is a classic from the CBC's Mercer Report. If you hang on to the end, you will understand why there is one more reason (in addition to his hatred of gays and disbelief in evolution) Mr. Huckabee should stay in Arkansas and leave Washington politics to those with at least 2 brain cells to rub together. More on Rick Mercer here, and his blog is here - it's worth a read.
