Sometimes I think I am, but then stuff like this reminds me how much I am not. This is a shot from the Multnomah Athletic Club’s annual gymnastics tournament. Oh yeah, I was all up in Portland last weekend. Photoset from the gymnastics tournament here, other miscellaneous shots from p-town here.

Apparently Gawker Media’s blog The Consumerist has a nasty habit of grabbing copylefted (or straight up, all rights reserved copyrighted images) from flickr and posting them on their blog without giving credit. The flickr forums are abuzz.

I’m not sure if this is good or bad, but there’s a Vanity Fair article on the guys from The Pirate Bay.

Backstory: The city of Boston is demanding to be given money because they wasted buckets of it while freaking out yesterday. The cause? Guerilla marketing for the upcoming movie based on The Cartoon Network’s “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.” The two guys in the press conference put up 38 LED-lit Mooninites all over Boston. People who watched the show recognized them as promo items, but Boston’s trained bomb squad technicians mistook them for improvised explosive devices and shut down the city.
