Two Interesting Things. One Useful.

I am working in the mail room at my school right now. A kid just came and picked up a package. Everything was going smoothly until he was just about to leave and he stopped and turned to me and asked: "Do you know what is in here?"

"What kind of paranoid freak is this?" I thought to myself. "Is he really accusing me of mail fraud?"

I realized a moment later when he asked me whether or not I liked basketball that he was really just opening up the conversation so he could brag about what he just bought. I am always wondering what people get, so I played along.

"Yeah, I like basketball," I lied.

"So you like Michael Jordan."

"Yeah" I told the truth.

"This is a piece of history." He crooned with a sly smile on his face and the package still in his hand above his head.

He proceeded to brag that he purchased a piece of the actual court played on when Michael Jordan pretty much won the NBA finals with a fat fever and the flu. Damn.

(this video is unfortunately kind of boring, but it has good demonstrative value).

2. A while back I spoke of firefox add-ons. I'm still pretty into them but it is rare that I find one that I just have to share. We'll here. This is pretty amazing. Especially if you are into stuff like Elefantitis or El Rincon Del Kik.

It is called Youtube to mp3. It does exactly what it sounds like. On your youtube, a little link will appear that allows you to download just the audio from any video in mp3 format. Amazing.
