This was a pretty sweet speech. It feels good to know the government is poised to better manufacturing in our country, hopefully bringing back some jobs. Also, Obama talks about his duty to protect us from the machine apocalypse, which is a duty I feel most presidents shirk.

Yes, things can be related to the Pittsburgh Pirates and still be awesome. The image you see before you is “living” proof.

Ok, that was bad. But don’t let my bad jokes dissuade you from a great thing. I just got this baby in from Steel City Cotton Works, right in time for opening day. I feel as if its fitting, as Pittsburgh is not only the birthplace of zombies, but also the birthplace of a baseball team that plays like zombies.

Ok, I’ll stop the crappy jokes. Go get one of these shirts, they rock.

Yes, that is correct. I got to dress up as a huge eagle for the AE student rush last week at the pens game. It was a sweet experience, to say the least. Pittsburgh college peeps are definitely some of the best sports fans out there. I’m gonna miss Mellon Arena!

I’m in most of the first third of the video above, and you can see me right at the end hanging with IceBurgh!

I realize that SF is America’s sweetheart right now, despite his being a dick. Aside from that, however, his work is pretty fantastic. I’m sure you’ve all seen the recent outpouring of his outdoor work in Pittsburgh, but if you haven’t check out one of the spots below:

This is truly amazing. Local artist Bob Ziller put this project together prior to the G20 with Warhol’s flowers as the theme. I wish I would have known about it earlier, I want to paint some flowers!

This is insane. Its like something out of a movie. They apparently consider the Pitt student union an unlawful assembly now. Most of these students aren’t even protesting, they just happen to be out on THEIR OWN SCHOOL’S CAMPUS.
