Sun Is Blue

This may be one of the cooler things I've seen...check out the clip below:

• Hunch is kind of an interesting website that just launched. Basically, you answer a series of questions at the beginning and then it will make decisions for you based on whatever question you want to know. For example, I answered the questions (which are kind of interested by themselves) and then asked Hunch where I should go for vacation. They have a ton of pre-made decisions for you to ask about. It's actually kind of addicting.
• Mapquest came out with an iPhone app that aims to be better than Google Maps. I downloaded it but haven't tested it out yet.
• The Trib did a study about the differences between the sports fans of our major sports (Bulls, Bears, Cubs, Sox, Hawks). Everything seems to be pretty even, though...so I don't really find it all that interesting.
• Top 5 Baseball Players in Chicago right now.
• This is awesome.
• What are the top TV episodes of all time?

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that I probably won't be updating the site all the much the rest of the month. I leave for a long vacation on Monday. I'll be in Mexico from Monday - Monday so I probably won't be online all that much. I'm also trying to wrap up a couple work projects before I leave so I'll be working day and night all week (except for my softball games). I might try to put up some links throughout the rest of the week -- just don't expect much.

• Derrick Rose Reacts To Gang Sign Photos.
• The Cubs look like they might be pursuing Pedro Martinez.
• New Moon's Kristen Stewart in character for her role playing Joan Jett.
  
• Good news for iPhone users in Chicago, the CTA has approved AT&T to become the fourth wireless service in CTA subways.
• This is actually pretty badass. Project Natal is a new gaming technology that lets you control the video game with your body...literally no controllers at all. It was showcased on the Jimmy Fallon Show. Check it out.
• Another somewhat interesting game is this beatboxing application for the iPhone. Not that big of a deal, but still kind of cool.
• I kind of want this.
• For Mac users, this little Google widget is pretty nice.
• Another iPhone App, this one is called Get Home. Very useful for drunk noobs.
• Check out this hilarious clip from The Daily Show.
• There's already been a lot of controversy surrounding Derrick Rose this off-season -- but there's more. Photos of him flashing gang signs have been posted around the internet. I guess I just don't really see what the big deal is. I mean, he grew up in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago. It's not like he grew up in a nice, little suburban town. The media needs to get over this type of stuff. On a side note, coming back from my office the other day I drove through Englewood in the middle of the day (around 3PM), and I gotta say, I've never been more nervous driving my car in the daytime. Granted, it was basically rush-hour, school just got let out, and I was in stand-still traffic going through Englewood for about 25-30 minutes. I was less nervous when I accidently had to drive through Cabrini-Green at night one time.
  
• Here's a story about this season's True Blood.
• Uh oh, apparently watching TV before you go to sleep is bad for you...

Not a lot going on recently with links, unfortunately. We have our first LVille DBag softball game tonight -- assuming it doesn't get rained out. Top Chef Masters premieres tonight, super pumped about that. And True Blood starts up again this weekend, finally. If I get some better links by tonight I'll try to post them.
