Tropical Update: 8-30
Gustav is now a strong Category 3 hurricane and will be making landfall at the western edge of Cuba sometime today. Gustav is looking very organized and has a well defined eye of circulation.
As he makes his way across Cuba, it does not look like he will lose much strength and once he does make it past Cuba he is forecasted to become a Category 4 hurricane.

What I'm Reading
Factotum by Charles Bukowski
I finished this book a couple days ago and forgot to put it up here. I am enjoying Bukowski’s novels and will probably get another one of his for my next book to read.
I also watched the movie they made based on this novel.

Tropical Update: 8-28-08
Now that we are entering the heart of Hurricane season, the Atlantic basin is really starting to show some activity. As I explained in a post a while ago, this time of year is when the Atlantic turns on her engines and produces a lot of storms. I’m no weatherman or expert but I try and follow this stuff pretty closely and I’ve learned a bunch of stuff about weather patterns in the past...

after all this time wondering, it has now been confirmed that im the only one with a tumblr in my town. the closest person to me was already following me and i didnt even know so i decided to return the favor. also, according to his description, he works for college humor (which is awesome.)
Yup! If you havn’t seen it already, tumblr’s Explore page is pretty awsome.

Some basic surfing rules and etiquette
.
In the summer you get a lot, I mean a lot of people who just go and buy surfboards and think they know everything when they get into the water. What they don’t know is that there are certan rules to follow when out there. If only people knew and understood these rules before paddling out there would be way less injuries and pissed off people in the water.

If you have the guts/time, it’s worth jailbreaking your iPhone. I didn’t think it was necessary because of the app store, but now I can record video and use Google maps offline.
Looks like it is time to jailbreak my iPhone.

Weekend Wrap-Up 8/21-8/24
Thursday: Went and saw the CollegeHumor comedy show at the UCB. It was hilarious. Watching Crazy Legs eat Micheal Phelps breakfast was both hilarious and disgusting at the same time. Also the comedians were amazing! Jeff and Streeter did an awsome job, again and watching Dan, Sam, and Amir perform Akward Rap live, was great.
Friday: I took the day off from work so I could be at the wake for my...

My girlfriend got me an awsome digital camera for my birthday yesterday. It’s waterproof up to 10 feet, so I figured I’d test it out today at the beach. Not the best video, but it’s pretty cool. I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of this when there are some good waves.

So Not Chill
jakehurwitz:
I’ve been on vacation with my family in Nantucket for the last week. You see a lot of people dressed in really obnoxious clothing out here, which is fine, it’s just their style. But among all the seersucker pants and boat shoes there’s one thing that I really take offense to. Popped collars.
The thing about popping a collar, first and foremost, is that it’s out of style. Even when...

I did this up for CH. Digg it if you dig it please.
PS. Tumblr won’t let the image get fullsize so go to CollegeHumor to see it for real.
*I realize that Michael Phelps has since won another medal but I don’t want to do any more photoshopping right now. I also realize it’s upside down.
This is hilarious!!

tumblr theme
Okay this is the 3rd time since I’ve had a tumblr (not that long) that I have changed the design. The last theme I had, I made myself and was pretty happy with it but now I’m kind of bored with it. I spent maybe 5 minutes browsing pre-made themes and found this Vertigo Theme by Matthew Buchanan. It took me longer to decide if I wanted to use it then it did to find it. I like the theme...

There were some pretty nasty thunderstorms in the area yesterday. Iowa set up his camera and got a pretty cool timelapse of the storm as it rolled through Jersey and headed Northwest.

If you didn’t have a chance to watch the Mens 4X100 Relay Final last night, make sure you watch this video. Keep in mind that the French team were the heavy favorites in this event and they were talking shit before the race.
