Mos Def - Twilite Speedball
it ain’t all good, but baby I’m cool
feelin great, feelin good, how are you
- Tyreke Evans. Probably the first kings draft pick in years that I can say that I’ve watched videos of before the Kings drafted him. But that could easily have been said for Rubio, Flynn, Curry, etc. The information age is amazing.
I like the pick. I don’t expect him to ever be a great shooter because of how long his arms are. But I love the slashing and finishing. If he was a better passer, he would be amazing for this team.
- Jonny Flynn. Approaching the draft, it seemed like Jonny Flynn was going to be the Kings pick. So I watched a bunch of videos and read about him and he seemed like a cool dude. I really like him. But then again, I have a fondness for the Aaron Brooks and Nate Robinsons of the league.
- Ricky Rubio. I can’t believe you’re not a King. Good luck with the Wolves. I also own the trademark to Bricky Rubio. Make me rich Ricky!
- Omri Casspi. I know nothing about you. But you speak better english than Rubio.
- Sergio Rodriguez. I seriously thought we traded for Rudy Fernandez for at least 20 minutes. My bad Sergio. I know nothing about you either.
- Jon Brockman. I know nothing about you.
- Jrue Holiday. Your name is still awesome.
- Hasheem Thabeet. Last night I was listening to Kanye on “Get Em High” and realized he was saying “Trying to catch the beat” at the beginning. I’m glad that wasn’t a sign.
-Brandon Jennings is a steal at #10. He might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he’s a left handed magician with the ball. Him showing up late in the show was hilarious.
Does this mean I can stare at my monitor(s) all day long and then just grow my eye balls back later? Science! It’s fantastic!
- Barack Obama, making basketball cool in DC.
Can somebody give me one too?
Firefox 3.6 will have an about:me page. For 3.5, you can get it as a plugin.
Here’s part of the stats on my firefox usage on my laptop. Apparently I’ve never used firefox from 9-10 AM ever. At first I was a little surprised, but it makes sense. Sleep, getting ready for work, or going to work. 9-10 AM is a dead zone for me.
2PM is a weird hour. I guess I read a lot of web pages after lunch.
And I obviously do not work from 5-7 PM.
Cool stuff from mozilla.
How dare anybody question the genius of Michael Jordan’s drafting strategy. Look at Adam Morrison now. NBA Champion. Your loss Charlotte. Your loss.
Next: Kwame Brown. Your loss Washington. Your loss.
Fan of the NBA Draft? Love Draft analysis? Speculation and rumors? You probably read nbadraft.net then. Along with DraftExpress, you can probably get a good gist of who is who in this year’s (or any year) draft.
But the latest 2009 mock draft from nbadraft has something wrong with it. Take a second to scan it or read it if you care.
Notice anything? If you did, it’s probably what’s going on at #24. Jrue Holiday* goes to the Blazers at #24 with a gigantic block of bitterness and angry text next to his name. What happened here?
No other site has Holiday dropping that low. Some even have him going at #4 to the Kings. Most have him lottery bound. But 24?
Nbadraft has a point though. The questions they bring up are relevant. Jrue hasn’t had a chance to run the point for a team. He didn’t do a ton for UCLA last year either.
But isn’t the point of a mock draft to guess how nba teams will pick? Are teams not going to call his name? And would the Kings seriously let him pass at #23? I find this hard to believe. But I will eat my words if Jrue drops this low. Good luck Jrue.
*Jrue is pronounced Drew. Seriously. I, however, plan to continue to call him Jay-Ru.
** I also have never seen Jrue Holiday play at UCLA or high school. But that name draws me in like a moth to a flame.
Firefox is claiming that 3.5 is the fastest Firefox ever. At first I was ready to rain fire on mozilla for their obsurd claims, but apparently there is an asterisk. Firefox 3.5 has the fastest javascript engine in firefox ever. oh thanks! javascript!
I remember in the old days when Firefox was the fastest browser on the market. And kids would laugh at me for using such a silly browser. Dang kids always on my lawn.
And now firefox is a huge slow beast. Firefox takes longer to startup on my windows box then windows itself. It’s also painfully slow on my macbook, but my macbook is old and decrepit anyway.
Am I shilling for Chrome? No. Of course not. I still use Firefox despite the startup pains. After it starts up and after I warm up the history cache, it performs well. But if I get paged and I need to use my computer immediately, I can’t sit there and wait. I’ll start up chromium (now chrome) and get to work.
Chrome is close. As one of those weirdos who actually uses windows(home), osx(laptop), and linux(work) daily, I like having a consistant browsing experience on each of my boxes. Chrome isn’t there yet. Firefox has been there for a while. And the developer tools on Firefox are still the best in show.
Firefox is still my pick. But Chrome is signing the best free agents and drafting the biggest stars. Firefox 3.5 may be the best firefox ever, but it’s quickly losing ground on being the best browser ever.
