Everything you need to know about the Cavaliers Number One Draft Pick, JJ Hickson. He led NC State in scoring, rebounding and turnovers as a Freshman. Biggest weakness is foul shooting.

Looks like a wait for him to develop.

Jones Soda, who aways comes up with unique items, has done it again. This time, it's Campaign Cola. Three different types: "Yes, We Can", "Pure McCain", and "Capitol Hillary".

From someone who has directed some awesome videos of his own, Michel Gondry picks his 25 favorites. Lenny Kravitz with "Are You Gonna Go My Way? makes an appearance. Always thought that was a bit underrated videowise. It is amazing how many times Aphex Twin shows up on these things. Lots of Spike Jonze (I especially like "Drop") on here, too.

A comparison of food prices. Covers the difference of the month of May between 2007 and 2008. Eggs, milk and cheese up significantly. No shit, lemons have gone up a ton. That used to be a bargain.

I had to see at least one of the Euro 2008 semifinals, so with a bit of flex time I got to watch today's Spain-Russia match as it happened. Spain beat Russia, 4-1, earlier in Euro 2008. Strangely, the "New Russia" team seemed to be getting the favorable pub coming in, having turned it around since that match. BTW, no one sings the Spanish National Anthem...there are no words.

However, Spain was the best technical team left in the tournament, but there was a scoreless first half. But they knocked in three in the second half and beat Russia, 3-0. Xavi had the first goal. It's not pronounced "Ex-av-ee", it's "Shav-ee".

That sets up a Germany-Spain final, which should be entertaining. There's enough shaky goaltending by Jens Lehmann and enough shaky defense by Spain, which could result in some goals on Sunday.
