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 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 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.

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.

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.

Decided to take a day off from blogging and plan to spend Memorial Day tanning in Central Park.

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.

Exhaustion and lack of sleep made the drive up to Long Island painful.  The thought of  running around under the hot sun while dodging paint balls was definitely not appealing.  Five hours later and a few kills under my belt I couldn’t stop ranting and raving how much fun I had.

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

I promise to post more video of Greenday when I have a chance. Till then here is a clip from their sound check..

Instead of going home to workout I decided to meet the guys for a quick drink at Keybar.  Four martini’s and a train ride later I began to feel guilty. All the salads, Myoplex and best intentions weren’t going to help reach my goal. Determined, I changed clothes and began my forty five minute work out routine at 2:00 in the morning.

The best part was having to be up in two hours to meet George at Central Park for a free Greenday concert.
