UpStream asks: Do you really want a hybrid?

Late this year two new cars are scheduled to enter the market. The G.M made hybrid – the Chevrolet Volt – is scheduled to start hitting sales lots in November with a fat price tag of about 41,000 dollars. In December the Nisan Leaf, a fully electric car, priced at $32,780 will become available to car buyers in the United States. Hooray Environment… Hooray Responsibility (it’s working slowly). The thing that sets these two cars apart from anything else on …

The Tour de France: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

Ok so everyone may still be caught up in the World Cup craze right now, but one of the greatest annual sporting events in the world has already begun. On July 3rd the 2010 Tour de France began. Lance is back (for his very last time), Alberto Contador is still a dick (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, do some reading about team Astana from last year), and there is the return of Mark Cavendish “the fastest man …

The real collegiate essential: Kool-Aid

Earlier Jumbro created a list of some things that are 100% necessary for any college house. At least one thing was missing from his list. Kool-Aid. play this for background music In case haven’t noticed, it’s summer and when it becomes this time of the year it gets hot (and depending on where in the world you are – humid too). So quit your bitching, sack up, and take it. That being said you should always have Kool-Aid on hand …

Happy Summer Solstice from W2FY

Today is the summer solstice, and for all of you not in the know, it means that it’s the longest day of the year (aka the sun is out the longest). As a way to bring prosperity to your life and others here is how to “traditionally” celebrate solstice according to eHow.com. Sounds bomb right? I think so especially because I get seasonal depression like a bitch so I may as well worship the sun while it’s out… now I …

It’s a Jungle Out There: Wendy’s Food Fight Turns to Brawl

I’ve never been a huge fan of the New York Times. It seems as though each time I pull up their website to look for what’s happening in the World, I’m bombarded by every single depressing piece of news that has been written that day. Because of the fact that I hate walking into class or doing anything already depressed about life itself, I’ve lately started navigating away from nytimes.com and gravitating towards just straight, old-school news.yahoo.com. While yahoo still …

The Dumbasshedron wants to be a hooligan

Two things, first this song is awesome. I’m sure you have heard it sampled in a bunch of different songs and such… Anyways it’s by Hilltop Hoods, an Australian Hip Hop group. They kind of remind me of a far less angry House of Pain (maybe it’s the accents). While the song is bomb, what really gets me fired up is what actually going on in the video. Flatland BMX. I don’t know what it is but there is something about watching extreme sports that makes …
