Greyhound Bus Killer

This is the most messed up story I have read in a long time! Be careful who you sit next to on your next bus trip...

Police in Winnipeg said Thursday they do not know what triggered a vicious attack on a Greyhound bus the night before that led to the beheading of a passenger.

Witnesses say a man was stabbed to death and then decapitated in what appears to be a random act of violence on board the bus that was en route to Winnipeg late Wednesday.

Zipcar Dispenser

How rad is this idea?! Its a prototype parking structure modeled on a giant PEZ dispenser that doles out cars in lieu of candy! I think it would fit in perfectly in downtown Boston.

The tower will maximize Zipcar's presence in the city, providing a recognizable corporate symbol for the emerging car company in underutilized residual urban spaces.

There are precedents for these sorts of things in Europe. When you buy a Smart Car from some dealers it is dispensed from a giant gumball machine-like container.

And Volkswagon uses something similar at their Autostadt, only theirs is over 20-stories high.

Celebrity-studded Celtics Game

Last night I went with Jeff to Game 5 of the playoff's against the Cavs. It was an exciting game and of course we ended up winning, 96-89. However I was a little pissed because I wore my GINO T-Shirt and they only showed him at the very end when people were leaving the game! Everyone loved my shirt tho, I was like a D-list celebrity!

I wasn’t the only famous person getting attention at the game, because Boston is now Hollywood East, so there were a few more famous faces in the crowd. Jay-Z and Beyonce were sitting front row, next to the Cavs bench. “Super Bad’s” Jonah Hill, who is in Lowell filming “This Side of the Truth” was having some fun mugging for the Jumbotron and got a good laugh at disco Gino late in the fourth quarter. And Brother & Sister’s Rob Lowe was in attendance, along with NKOTB’s Donnie Wahlberg, JoJo, ex-Celtic Antoine Walker, and New England Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour.
