Fantasy Baseball Owner Rips Team Apart In Media

BROOKLYN, NY?Mark Mendicus, 26-year-old Staples employee and principal owner of the fantasy baseball team Beat With Uggla Stick, blasted his underperforming team in the media Monday, going so far as to single out individual players, criticize their recent play, and question their commitment to winning.

“It's good that he cares,” said Beat With Uggla Stick catcher Jorge Posada. “Some owners, like Garrett Baldwin of the Smilin' Joe Randas, or Mike Broberg of Tiny Damon, they just sort of check in every once in a while to see…

An excellent piece on self development hack. Its a must read!

I’ve at times created a fake unreal life for myself. It’s something I think us renegades constantly battle–we’ve freed ourselves from outside constraints (more or less) but find that the same…

Interview: Wall-E’s Writer and Director Andrew Stanton

Stanton worked with John Lasseter on A Bug's Life and eventually went on to bring us the wonderful Finding Nemo, easily one of my Pixar favorites (although it's impossible to truly rank them). And now it's a great honor to present my interview with the mind behind Pixar's latest film, Wall-E.

And I just started to answer all that. I found myself very quickly writing the first act of the movie, which is not that different then what you have here. Then I couldn't stop. Then, I was like, by the time Nemo came out, this is what I want…

‘Dark Knight’ Director Shuns Digital Effects for Real Thing

For director Christopher Nolan, reality beats the hell out of gee-whiz special effects. But keeping it real doesn’t come cheap: The $180 million flick is Warner Bros.’ biggest summer tent pole, and after Speed Racer’s flameout, its only box-office hope….

Nolan's use of Imax is the natural fulfillment of an experiment he launched with Batman Begins in 2005. That film depicted Batman's dogged, bruising rise from angry rich kid to driven crime fighter, and it hinted at the consequences of…

Ex-Girlfriend Don’t Want To Talk To You, New Boyfriend Says

According to the latest information provided by the unnamed, impossibly debonair-sounding European man who is now answering all of her calls, your ex-girlfriend, Rebecca Norsten, “don’t want to speak to you no more.”

The announcement that communication would cease immediately came as a shock to everyone whom Norsten had previously promised to “love forever and ever.” The 24-year-old Notre Dame graduate was your girlfriend from November 2007…

Crazy Origami bird-folding Skills

This guy creates two origami birds simultaneously, on each hand on this “double one-handed origami bird-folding” video.

I lean to faked (filmed in reverse). The finger motions in extension and flexion seem suspect. Closing a finger thumb grip is usually faster than the opening (setting up for next closing). Really not sure. Also the “drop and…

Reviving an Olympic Dream, 25 Years Later

As an NCAA All-American swimmer, Hodding Carter narrowly missed qualifying for the 1984 Olympic trials when he was a college senior. Now 45, Carter has revived his dreams of Olympic glory. He’s training in earnest for a long-shot bid at qualifying for the Beijing Olympics….

Now how am I going to do this? The thing I am worried Casey might see is not Rosey but instead floating feces, what we call in the business a “biohazard.” It's leaked out of the suit of a girl who is over four. The fact that…

When good templates go bad!

Hahaha…. How can this thing slip out on-air!

My guess is this lasted under 2 seconds. I've seen even local news stations catch this sort of thing in under 2 seconds. What I love is that your average NFL watcher never gets that all the graphics are heavily DB driven, nor do they get that…
