King of Kong
Saw this on G4 while flipping channels and found it irresistible. Maybe it spoke to my inner video game geek.
foursquare
Pab put me on to this iPhone app that is hard to describe but insanely addictive. Think: 50% friend-finder, 30% social cityguide, 20% nightlife game. Check it out.
Keg Stand
Keg stand is a popular drinking ritual performed using a beer keg. Its most common form involves the drinking participant grabbing onto the keg's handles as he or she is hoisted into the air by others, to the effect of doing a handstand while chugging directly from the keg.
Google Wave
Google is at it again and this time they are going to revolutionize the way we communicate on the web with a new product, Google Wave. This is a long video but worth it if you' re an internet / technology geek.
Bing
While writing about Microsoft's new search engine, Bing, I came across this video. It does a better job at describing the new service than I could ever do.
Facebook iTunes Page
I'm a huge fan of iTunes and recently found out they have a Facebook page. Now I can combine my love of music and online social networking. Did I mention they are giving away a bunch of free music??? Check it out.
Central Park
Decided to take a day off from blogging and plan to spend Memorial Day tanning in Central Park.
Studio Square
Spent the afternoon drinking at the new beer garden in Astoria and was extremely impressed by the space. But couldn't help but feel bad for the old German Beer Garden in Ditmars. Studio Square opening its doors must be the beer garden equivalent of having a Walmart come to your small town and effectively destroying small business's in the region.

For those unfamiliar with paintball here's a clip that sums up the experience nicely.
