From the "because I can" department here are five videos featuring the legendary skater Mark Gonzales. This guy was the shit when I was 14. He's still the shit now.

I really had counted Palm out. My old Treo died on me last month and I never even considered getting another Palm device. I've owned Treo/Palm products for nearly a decade, but they'd finally lost me with the options I saw on the shelves. I'm super happy with the Sprint network, so my long-term plan was to hold out with the Treo long enough to see Sprint come out with an Android handset. Obviously that didn't happen, so I ended up going with a (free) Moto Q9. I'm happy enough with it (the keyboard is phenomenal and it was free) and I can get $150 for an upgrade after a year, so I figured by then I'd have a good option to settle into for the long term (I typically run phones into the ground before upgrading.) Apparently, I will have a good option, but it won't be an Android handset. It'll be the Palm Pre.
The device itself looks slick as hell (including the ever vital QWERTY keyboard) and the new WebOs feels like it was made for me- especially since it's running HTML/CSS and JavaSript! All that and it's built on top of Linux…
I'm seriously lusting after this device and it wouldn't surprise me if I end up forgoing the upgrade cash to pick up a Pre when it becomes available.
This is my first brush and ink drawing in probably a year. Sad fact, that.
this is a post for all those things I see from time to time that make me think "I should share that" and then I don't because I think "everyone has probably already seen it" when in fact everyone probably hasn't. So here are a few of those things, rolled up into one link-filled nugget of joy.

Here's a handy timeline. The first I remember experiencing firsthand was the "Ate my Balls" thing, which makes me feel old.
Of course, everything makes me feel old right now, so that's nothing new.
For what it's worth, my favorite of the highlighted items is the classic "All Your Base Are Belong To Us." Now watch as I post it, like the Internet equivalent of a classic rock DJ
