Tuesday Tribulations (formerly Malapropism Monday)

 

- AT&T’s latest ad shows that they think warrantless wiretapping is funny. From Consumerist:

According to AT&T, Ms. Suspicious “has nothing to hide,” so she certainly won’t mind when AT&T and their traitorous telecom buddies trash the Constitution and violate her right to privacy!

- Jay-Z opens up his headlining set at Glastonbury with Oasis’s Wonderwall following comments from Noel Gallagher that hip hop “doesn’t belong” at the festival. Buuuuuuuurn.

- Starbucks is closing 600 stores; laying off 12,000. Hopefully my former location isn’t one of them (tear). [NYT]

- Where the hell is Matt? is not my latest Where’s Waldo attempt, but something better:

Matthew Harding spent 14 months visiting 42 countries in order to produce “Where the Hell is Matt?”, a four-and-a-half minute video featuring Harding (and anyone else he could rope into it) doing an incredibly silly, high-energy dance in some of the most breathtaking scenery around the world. This may be the best four minutes and twenty-eight seconds of your week.

Video and more on Boing Boing.

- LeRoi Moore, saxophonist from the Dave Matthews Band, was injured in an ATV accident on his farm in Virginia on Monday. He was initially listed as in serious condition at a Virginia hospital, but has since been upgraded to fair. Jeff Coffin, the double-sax playing troubadour from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones will fill in indefinitely while LeRoi recoops. This marks the first time since 1993 that the band has performed a tour without one of the five founding members. Looking forward to seeing you back, Roi! Send eCards via the band’s site.

- Best of Craigslist: I have a dead moose (earlier: I am RICH and I want to spend it on you tonight)

- Geek out with these cool screenshots of iPhone 2.0 and iTunes 7.7.
