If somebody sends you an email and it’s got a UPS tracking number in it Gmail will give you a little link on the right hand side of your screen asking you “would you like to track…UPS Package 1Z038303482.”

Gmail is wicked smart!

It’s awesome trailer week at Glitterfish! Movie was rescued from Sundance oblivion by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. It’ is out in LA and NY. Playing at the Archlight in LA. All the cool kids are talking about it!

She knows its over so she has started partying.

Drinking whiskey with reporters…

Obama had a hard time drinking BEER.

Redband trailer for new Coen Brothers comedy, Burn After Reading, at slashfilm.com.

Written and directed by The Coen Brothers, this new dark-spy comedy stars Academy Award nominee John Malkovich as an ousted CIA official, whose memoir accidentally falls into the hands of two unwise gym employees (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand) intent on exploiting their find. Also featuring George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and Richard Jenkins.

Looks awesome.

Mark Khaisman is the artist.

Tonight I went to the Cha Cha lounge and Mr. Boston was there sargin.

Right on.

Somebody named Garrett Lisi, 39, just published a new so-called “Theory of Everything,” a scientific explanation of how all particles and forces are united in the universe.

Such a theory has been the Holy Grail of physics ever since science first started to unravel the mysteries of the sub-atomic world. Einstein spent his whole life trying to figure it out. If Lisi is right, the answer lies in some bizarre shape called an E8, a complex eight-dimensional mathematical pattern with 248 points. Apparently, the image below is the shape of the universe if you could represent it in only two dimensions.

What’s awesome about all this is Lisi is a ski bum who spends most of his time surfing and snowboarding. He’s also totally broke: “Being poor sucks,” Lisi says. “It’s hard to figure out the secrets of the universe when you’re trying to figure out where you and your girlfriend are going to sleep next month.”

I guess his knack for advanced particle physics does not extend to web design. Take a look at his personal website. He writes about surfing, snowboarding, and downhill skateboarding. You can also read his resume. Here is a picture of him playing chess with a naked guy at Burning Man.

I’m no grand master, but I’m a decent chess player (though I like Go better) and the chances of encountering a person at random who can beat me is not very high. Now this naked guy here, just another person wandering around the playa, he kicked my ass. It was a solid game, no obvious blunders, I was simply outplayed.

Amazing! If this guy turns out to be right, imagine how cool whoever this naked guy must feel. What a story it would be if you beat somebody as smart as Einstein in chess. Naked!

I have eaten dinner with Neil Patrick Harris. Before I met him I guessed correctly that he drove a Prius.

Get your Mac, a webcam, and Delicious Library and rediscover your home library. Just point any FireWire digital video camera, like an Apple iSight®, at the barcode on the back of any book, movie, music, or video game. Delicious Library does the rest. The barcode is scanned and within seconds the item’s cover appears on your digital shelves filled with tons of in-depth information downloaded from one of six different web sources from around the world.

This short video is ridiculously inspirational. In fact, it is so inspirational I’m going to tag it as awesome and share it with you.

This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.

If it looks familiar its the same guy who did that other Web 2.0 video.
