Shout out to The Beatles.

One of my all-time favorite Beatles tracks.

A rich white man wants to fund a new arena in downtown Baltimore.

Willard Hackerman, a wealthy and privileged white man, has offered to build a new arena in downtown Baltimore. If you're familiar with this city, this first picture is of what would be the Pratt and Charles Streets entrance. 

This project, which would double the size of the convention center, add a tower for a new hotel and a 18,500-seat arena. The dude is willing to finance $500 million of the total $900 million price tag.

This needs to happen.

Hilarious!

I always want you when I'm coming down...

This would be pretty ratchet even if it weren't filmed at a Wal-Mart.

Thursday can't come soon enough.

Who wants to buy me one?

Seagate GoFlex Satellite

Sure, your computer needs external storage — but what about your iPad? The Seagate GoFlex Satellite ($200) is ready to provide your nearly port-less portable with a healthy 500GB of storage, thanks to a built-in Wi-Fi connection that can provide up to three devices with simultaneous access to movies, music, and other media, for up to five hours per charge of its internal battery. Of course, there's also a USB 3.0 port for connecting to a Mac or PC, but where's the fun in that?"

This makes me proud. Clap for him.

 

From The Baltimore Sun: 

15-year-old prodigy is youngest graduate of University of Baltimore

By Don Markus, The Baltimore Sun

9:54 p.m. EDT, May 15, 2011

A month shy of his 16th birthday, Ty Hobson-Powell made history Sunday when he walked across the stage at The Lyric as the youngest person ever to graduate from the University of Baltimore.

Hobson-Powell gave up a fledgling basketball career when he began college three years ago, commuted more than an hour each way from his home in Northwest Washington after transferring last fall from Howard University and once completed 27 credits in a single semester while shuttling between classes at Howard, Montgomery College and the Internet. He will be going to law school in the fall, and possibly to medical school after that."

Must be nice...

 

From Upscale Swagger: 

J.P. Morgan definitely surprised us when we found out about its elite Palladium Visa Signature card. The Palladium credit card definitely makes us consider a few things. First, the card itself is made of a rare silver metal that resembles platinum and 23 karat gold with laser engraved cardholders info which alone gives the card a value of $1,000. Even more amusing, the card holds an annual fee of only $600! and has no preset spending limit. Some of the perks included are unlimited complimentary access to over 600 airport lounges worldwide, Marquis Jet 1-hour bonus flight time, top-tier concierge service and various other travel and purchase benefits.

Locking in a Palladium card won’t be so easy, in fact it might actually be harder than getting the Visa Black Card or Centurion Card by American Express. The Palladium card is only offered to private banking clients of J.P. Morgan Private Bank, Investment Bank, Treasury Services or Commercial Bank where the average client has $30 million in an account."

Can't wait to go to their concert on Thursday.

Sickest lax goal I've seen in a while.

This is from the Maryland-North Carolina game in the first round of the 2011 NCAA Men's Lacrosse tournament. Watch for the fake hand-off. Everybody -- all the UNC players, the cameraman, and the announcers -- were all confused by this hidden ball trick. If you're wondering, Maryland went on to win the game 13-6 and will face top-seeded Syracuse in next week's quarterfinals.

You just lost one.

Thank you, Coach Williams, for everything you've done for the State and University of Maryland, college basketball, and the Atlantic Coast Conference. I'll miss the hell out of you.
