Movie to Watch This Week: Old Boy
This movie is one of my top ten favorites. It’s action packed from beginning to end, incredible story, and a shocking ending.
Fight Scene:
Cyber Threats Increasing
No April Fools joke.
The other day President Obama’s twitter account got hacked which just goes to show you how privacy is fading away, or at least getting more expensive. I saw the video below on 60 minutes a while back and meant to do a post on it but never got around to it. Where gonna see these type of incidents more and more. Some of you might already heard about google getting hacked in China.

Good Eats – Live and Let Diet
part 1:
part 2:
I caught a peice of this the other day on the Food Network and saw Alton’s recomendations for food that had what he calls a high nutrition to energy ratio.
Alton’s diet is dictated by 4 lists: Shown @ (4:23 mark)
Consume daily: Fruits, Whole Grains, Leafy Greans, Nuts, Carrots, Green Tea
Consume 3x a week: Oily Fish, Yogurt, Broccoli, Sweet Potato, Avocado
Consume 1x a week: Red Meat, Dessert, Pasta, Alcohol
Consume Never: Fast Food, Soda, Processed Meals (i.e. TV dinners), Canned soups high in sodium, “Diet Anything”
There were three recipes in this episode:
He also had a good tip to make cheap smoothies by buying overripe bananas no one else wants, and then freezing them. (@ 8:23 mark)
How to Make Vegan Borscht [video]
I was watching an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations where he went to Prague in the Czech Republic. The food shown was some of the nastiest and unhealthiest crap I’ve ever seen. It was a miracle the people shown could even survive. Their food was essentially different disgusting ways of cooking pork and alcohol and washed down with more alcohol.
There was one exception, and IMO the only dish that’s giving those Czechs the sustenance needed for human life (lol). And that dish is Borscht. Arguably the star of any Borscht dish is beets, but depending on the region in Europe its combined with Cabbage, Tomatoes, Sour Cream, and even Lima Beans as the video below shows.
So if this meal can feed all those unhealthy eaters in the Czech Republic, it’ll most likely add nutritional value to our diets. Enjoy.
Dwayne Wade Dunks on Varejao
This is gonna make one awesome poster.
In this game with the legend Micheal Jordan in attendance and another legend Shaq resting in the Cavs bench, D Wade shows why he should be rated up there with the best of ’em.
Btw, that was an awesome block by Jermain Oneal on none other than Lebron James.
Amazing Rap Battle: Dumbfoundead v.s. Kid Twist
I was trying to put less hip hop related topics on the blog for a while but I couldn’t resist this one. Dumbfoundead is my favorite battle rapper ever.
IMO, the most creative things in music are happening in the UK, Fresh Coast, and T dot music scenes.
(Just skip to 2:26, and I apologize in advance for the crowd. They react to the punchlines like this is the first battle they ever saw.)
Dan Senor, Author of Startup Nation on CNBC [video]
Dan Senor, the author of Startup Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle discusses key factors on why Israel is one of the fastest growing and most innovative economies on the planet despite being in a constant state of war.
Many countries could gain alot by studying Israel’s example and utilizing some of it’s policies- especially developing countries.
