Jack Johnson

In the summer of 2008, Jack Johnson led his crew into Europe for the Sleep Through the Static summer tour. It was the biggest tour of his career -- hundreds of thousands of people came out to sing along. Cameras were rolling, and in August, Brushfire Records will release Jack Johnson: En Concert, a collection of highlights from the run of dates in Paris, Newquay Watergate Bay, Berlin, Munich, the Netherlands and London.

Produced and directed by Johnson's manager, Emmett Mallow, En Concert features performances from Johnson and his band (Adam Topol, Merlo Podlewski and Zach Gill) as well as Ben Harper, G-Love, Mason Jennings, Neil Halsted and Matt Costa.

Check out the trailer for En Concert below. The footage Johnson surfing the Eisbach River in Munich is crazy!

Lakers Uniforms

In honor of the Lakers, here's a look back at some of their uniforms...

Trophies are Gold

The present Laker era has a home uniform that brings back the white numbers and letters, and extends the purple stripe down the side to the jerseys. Shaquille O'Neal continues the Laker tradition with three NBA titles so far.

Purple People Eaters

Some say the Lakers road uniforms of the 1980's didn't always have the jersey and shorts match the same shade of purple, but Magic Johnson didn't care, leading the L.A. to five NBA titles.

Tradition Continues

The gold has continued to be the Lakers' home uniform of choice, with a slight modification to purple numbers and letters in the 1980's. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sky-hooked his way to the all-time points lead as a Laker.

Home Gold

In the late 60's, the Lakers moved to their now-famous colors of purple and gold, eschewing a home white jersey for the intimidating gold worn by Jerry West.

L.A. Script

Making the move to the coast, the Lakers dumped the baby blue for a darker, navy shade that Elgin Baylor wears here and proudly wrote their new home across the front of the road jerseys. These are the ones the current Lakers will be wearing on retro nights.

Land of Lakes

George Mikan lead the Minneapolis Lakers to five NBA titles before the team left for Los Angeles prior to the 1960 season. The Laker colors then were white at home and light blue with yellow trim on the road.

Oreo Balls

Yummmm.... can't wait to try.

Ingredients

• 1 package regular size Oreo cookies, crushed
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 package white almond bark
• 1 package chocolate almond bark

Directions

1. Using a blender or hand held mixer, mix Oreos and cream cheese together.

2. Roll into walnut size balls.

3. Chill for an hour.

4. Melt approximately 3/4 package of white almond bark.

5. Stick a toothpick in an Oreo ball and dip it in the melted white almond bark.

6. Allow to harden on wax paper.

7. Takes about 15 min.

8. While waiting, melt about 1/4 package of chocolate almond bark.

9. When Oreo balls are no longer sticky to the touch, decorate with drizzles of chocolate and white almond bark.

10. I just use a sandwich bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner to drizzle the almond bark.

Tweeting Too Hard

"Where self imposed tweets get the recognition they deserve."
Hilarious and yet disturbing.
http://tweetingtoohard.com/


"I'm on a self-imposed drought right now, mostly because I don't want to waste my time with less than a perfect 10."

"Today is one of those days when I wish my life wasn't quite so interesting."

"OMG i was saying how i couldn't afford the gas to fly daddy's jet to the riviera this summer, and this barista totally rolled her eyes at me"

"I love how some dudes hate me for dating their fantasy girl, as if they were going to if I hadn't." (John Mayer)

"I find it hard to take Twitter advice from someone with < 500 followers."

"I'm pretty much the guy people go to for everything. I should be a search engine. "Did you Ed it?" people will say. "Just Ed it. Duh.?"

Whale Wars

Whale Wars has become my newest obsession. The Animal Planet show follows Captain Peter Watson and his crew, all members of the Sea Shepherds Conservation Society, as they track Japanese whaling vessels that are illegally killing innocent whales in the Antarctic. Watson was one of the founders of Greenpeace but left the organization to form the Sea Shepherds when he felt Greenpeace became too politically motivated. It is incredibly addicting (and the attractive Australian crew members aren't too hard on the eyes). The next season premieres June 5 at 9pm.

http://animal.discovery.com/tv/whale-wars/

A more detailed synopsis and clip below...
"In March 2009, when the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society vessel The Steve Irwin docked in Hobart, Tasmania, it was met by two dozen members of the Australian Federal Police. They were there to confiscate hundreds of hours of videotape, launching an investigation into what was one of the most intense and dramatic campaigns ever conducted by the Sea Shepherds in their 30-year history.

Those seized tapes and hundreds of hours of other footage comprise the second season of Animal Planet's WHALE WARS.

More dangerous, drama-filled and controversial than ever, WHALE WARS returns with a vengeance on Friday, June 5, at 9 PM e/p. Collisions at sea, harrowing nautical maneuvers, a near-death experience in an ice field and more aggressive Japanese defenses against the Sea Shepherds — including the use of Long Range Acoustical Devices (LRADs), sonic devices that cause intense pain and could cause permanent hearing damage — are just some of the highlights in store this season.

And this year, the Japanese whaling fleet suffered a deadly loss as one of its workers slipped and fell overboard (not during an engagement with the Sea Shepherds) and whose body was never recovered. Captain Paul Watson and Sea Shepherd offered to help in a rescue mission for the missing worker, but the whaling vessels claimed they did more to interfere than assist.

"I have always said that we would do everything we can short of hurting people to end illegal whaling in the Antarctic," says Watson, founder of Sea Shepherd. "We have done everything we could with the resources available to us this year. We shut down their illegal operations for over a month in total. We cost them money, and we have saved the lives of a good many whales."

This season on WHALE WARS, in addition to returning crew members Peter Brown (First Officer), Peter Hammarstedt (Second Officer), Chris Aultman (Helicopter Pilot/Aviation Director), Laurens de Groot (Deckhand), Ben Potts (Helicopter Crew) and Shannon Mann (Quartermaster), The Steve Irwin is joined by Jane Taylor (Quartermaster), Luke Van Horn (Communications Officer), Andy Perry (Leading Deckhand), Molly Kendall (Deckhand) and Laura Dakin (Chief Cook). These featured crew members help comprise the 40 international crew who spent the winter putting their lives on the line for whales."

Rocky

"It ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!" - Rocky
