LeBron's a Flirt




THANK YOU, LEBRON JAMES.

Thank you for finally unveiling your full glory.  Thank you for taking the spotlight off of Kobe Bryant's flip-flopping meltdown.  Thank you for turning our full attention back to the NBA playoffs action happening outside of tired San Antonio.  Thank you for giving us the unexpected.  Thank you for being the most incredible 22 year-old to grace this planet.  Thank you for finding that killer instinct that you said you lacked earlier in your career  Thank you for taking over this game and this league.

THANK YOU!

Okay, all hyperboles aside, if you missed out on Game 5 of the Detroit-Cleveland series you should punch yourself in the mouth.  LeBron was absolutely amazing.  48/9/7 doesn't even begin to explain his dominance in Game 5.

If you saw the game, did you notice how quiet and downright scared the Detroit crowd was during the two overtimes, and especially on Detroit's last play with 2.2 left?  The muted crowd said it all with their silence: they were witnessing inexorable glory right in front of their eyes and they knew there was nothing anyone in that building could do about it.  That was awesome.



I came across a kickin' site today:  The Hood Internet.  It's a site that features a bunch of awesome mashups.  One of my favorites so far is I'm A Flirt (Shoreline), which mashes R. Kelly and Broken Social Scene together.

You can watch a cool mashup video for the song that someone made below:






Finally, on June 4th, 2007 (Monday), Ask.com will have a brand new user interface.  I've seen it and it looks really sexy.  And it's not purely aesthetic either.  The new interface will give users a fresh and improved search experience, which other big competitors are lacking.

And no, I am not getting paid to say any of this.  Other bigger, smarter, and more experienced people in the industry are already saying flattering things about it.

But seriously, on Monday, June 4th (in the afternoon I believe) be ready to take a gander at a sweet new interface on Ask.com.
