Detroit Hip Hop

As the Pistons lick their wounds, I wanted to give the APTers from Michigan something to pick 'em up. This joint is so 2008, but it still bumps. Stand up Detroit.

Is there a better way to celebrate President Obama's first day in office than by making yourself a piece of art? Check this out. Upload any picture. Tweak the colors. Become history.

A Time Of History

There have been very few days in my relatively short life that I can look back on and say, "I can't wait to tell my kids that story." The day I met Nancy, that day I got a free pizza, that time I tried mushrooms. OK, I never got a free pizza. See, that's how few there are! But, these all pale in comparison to today: the 2-day anniversary of Troy Polamalu's 40-yard interception return for a touchdown in the AFC title game.

Any stress I had about this game was washed away as the should-have-been defensive player of the year weaved his way to the Superbowl. Look for the Drizzle to be well submerged in a gallon of Anchor Steam on the first of February. Go Steelers!

Oh yeah, and goodie for Obama. Things are looking up.

Who is Better? Who is Best?

LeBron is transcendent. Kobe has three rings and a monster chip on his shoulder.


These two will get the national stage warmed up tonight. Barak brings it tomorrow. Peace, and rest easy Dr. King.

Parkour and Free Running

As long as we are on the topic of crazy shit that people do... A few years ago I was walking by a student on the computer and I glanced over to see what he was doing. He was watching a video of a guy doing some crazy jumping and flipping. I asked him what the heck it was and he told me it was "Parkour" . From Wikipedia:

Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement[1] (English: the art of displacement) is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body.[2] It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment—from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls—and can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Parkour practitioners are referred to as traceurs, or traceuses for females.

Founded by David Belle and a group of friends in France, parkour focuses on practicing efficient movements to develop one's body and mind to be able to overcome obstacles in an emergency.




Free Running is slightly different. From Wikipedia:

Free running is a physical art, in which participants (free runners) use the urban and rural areas to perform movements through its structures focused on freedom and beauty. It incorporates efficient movements from parkour, adds aesthetic vaults and other acrobatics, such as tricking and street stunts, creating an athletic and aesthetically pleasing way of moving. It is commonly practiced at gymnasiums and in urban areas that are cluttered with obstacles.
