I always liked the IDEA of the Green Hornet… This is actually quite cool, too:

Sometimes, you need a video to get motivated. “The point is not only to lose weight… that is likely to fail.”

This is quite awesome. Psdtuts+ is a blog/Photoshop site made to house and showcase some of the best Photoshop tutorials around. If you’re interested in writing a tutorial for the site, you can learn about the submission process on their Write a Tutorial page.

In the midst of World Cup fever, readers might have missed Germany’s win over host Barbados in June for the Woz Challenge Cup, following an eight-team polo tournament with players not on horses but Segways. The sport is said to have been created by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, whose Silicon Valley Aftershocks competed again this year in Barbados (but last won the Cup in 2007).

Wozniak told ESPN.com that his own polo skills are fading, but the San Jose Mercury News reported in May that Woz’s fearlessness on the Segway seems hardly diminished. (The Mercury News report, on the Aftershocks’ local, nerd-populated league, described the players as “the pudgy and the pale” and “geek chic.”) [San Jose Mercury News, 5-18-10; ESPN.com, 6-18-10]

It’s a SPECIAL ALL-AMERICAN July 4th edition of the Sun Donut Horoscope! So before you begin reading, be sure to get your PATRIOTISM on, darling. The moon is in Cancer, which apparently means that everything is slowing down (think ‘crab’ pace, people… get it? I made a zodiacal pun, love it)…

ARIES | Mar 20 – Apr 19
Take a step back and think things out a bit, fiery one. You can still be a jackass and say whatever pops into your head. But now you gotta do it in a way that other people actually enjoy. I know, it’s a fine line.

TAURUS | Apr 20 – May 19
You want to settle down… close your eyes and just take a rest. The need to get comfy is so overwhelming that you’re likely to ignore the fact that the ‘couch’ you’re nestling into is made of poo-poo. It’s warm right now, yes, but later when you wake and it’ll be freezing cold and sticking to you and you can’t get rid of that SMELL… well, all I’m saying is keep moving and it’ll all get better.

GEMINI | May 20 – June 20
So, you’re feeling a little dreamy AND people seem to like it when you talk all spacy. You enjoy that, Gemini. Just bear in mind that all of those people are totally badmouthing you behind your back.

CANCER | June 21 – July 21
Cancer is in the moon, Cancer. In astrological terms, that means you’re delusional.

LEO | July 22 – Aug 21
Oh Leo, you’re so pretty and fun. People love you!

VIRGO | Aug 22 – Sep 22
Take everyone’s advice with a grain of salt, Virgo. 9 out of 10 of them mean well. But only 1 out of 10 of them is actually genuinely interested in helping you. The others are just blowing smoke up your rear. That includes me, of course.

LIBRA | Sep 23 – Oct 22
The great thing about you, Libra, is your amazing ability to mentally check out for weeks at a time. In the meantime, your body and mouth work as if you’re in residence. And even though you’d never put it this way, you’re really grateful that most people are just too damn stupid to see it for what it is.

SCORPIO | Oct 23 – Nov 21
The toughest part of this week will be finding people and situations that agree with you, armored one. You may have to adapt to reach compromise instead. So I suggest you simply avoid people who are in any way personally challenging.

SAGITTARIUS | Nov 22 – Dec 20
Watch out for your emotions and impulses, star hunter! Thanks to the Cancer Moon, you’re going to be especially fuzzy in the head. Your emotions may deceive you. On the bright side, at least the problem is ONLY you this time.

CAPRICORN | Dec 21 – Jan 19
Take a walk with a friend, Cap. You’re at your best when you’ve got the old blood pumping. Actually, you might want to really get in there and work it. You know what I’m talking about. Flex those muscles. Oh yeah. That’s right. Oh yeah…

AQUARIUS | Jan 20 – Feb 17
Seriously, dude, all of your problems are the kind you can control. Just don’t check out. Whatever you do. Because if you do, your problems are going to swell up and swallow the world. Not to be dramatic or anything. Just don’t turn your back, man. And don’t fall asleep.

PISCES | Feb 18 – Mar 19
You’re feeling especially creative, Pisces. Your artistic side wants get out and express itself. Maybe taking to the airwaves! Perhaps you should consider getting a spot on a local radio show. I’m sure they’ll hire you right away.

ARIES | Mar 20 – Apr 19
Go ahead. Feel fussy. Also, eat more pork. It’s in the stars, and it doesn’t have to make sense.

TAURUS | Apr 20 – May 19
It looks like a good time for a little bit of sleaze, Taurus. Go hop into your collar and leather outfit. I’ll be waiting in the car.

GEMINI | May 20 – June 20
I’d hit the ice cream shop first thing in the morning, Gemini. It’s going to be one of those weeks. Bring a bib.

CANCER | June 21 – July 21
This week will be all about you, Cancer. Nurture your inner child. Take it for a long walk and buy it something pretty. Then put it up for adoption, because next week it’s grownup time.

LEO | July 22 – Aug 21
You’re pretty and fun and everyone likes you, Leo.

VIRGO | Aug 22 – Sep 22
Don’t bother with rationality or common sense, Virgo. It’s lost on them anyway. This week, you’ll probably have to resort to back-of-the-hand tactics, so hop to it.

LIBRA | Sep 23 – Oct 22
Someone isn’t living up to your lofty standards, Libra. And that someone has clearly failed to recognize the danger. Try not to smother them in their sleep.

SCORPIO | Oct 23 – Nov 21
Apparently, you’re going to be remarkably reasonable for most of this week, Scorpio. You’ll be sensitive and smart in your dealings with others… perhaps even level-headed. No one, of course, is going to recognize it and most likely you’ll get absolutely no credit for this… and eventually you’ll lose your cool and start taking heads. Kind of sad, really.

SAGITTARIUS | Nov 22 – Dec 20
Take a deep breath, star-hunter. The future is better than you think. You might be an alcoholic by the time you get there. But you won’t need your liver anyway.

CAPRICORN | Dec 21 – Jan 19
Apparently you’re going to have to put off your dream of becoming a deadly ninja for another week, Cap. You have a car payment to make instead.

AQUARIUS | Jan 20 – Feb 17
Time to plan a trip, Aquarius. Take someone with you. Someone you like. I know, this may sound like obvious advice. But that doesn’t invalidate it. I mean, sometimes the stars are just full of the easy stuff.

PISCES | Feb 18 – Mar 19
You know full well that you’re very easy-going and can handle almost any situation, Pisces. It’s the REST of the world that hasn’t figured it out.
