If you are a Stones fan, this documentary is worth watching. It features great concert scenes (including the performances that were later released on Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out), and interesting interviews with the band. It also has footage from the Altamont Free Concert, where the Hells Angels killed a man, and the bands reaction to the event.

Seeing a lot of In-N-Out today. Five Guys is the East Coast version. Started with a local VA family restaurant serving fresh, never frozen burgers. Popularity grew the restaurant into an exploding franchise. Great, made to order burgers, huge and sloppy with a nice variety of toppings. Fries are a hallmark, delicious, skin-on, copiously flowing out of the brown paper take out bag....mmm, good!

This TV spot is ingenius brand positioning. Lenovo makes great products and has a strong market share among corporate IT departments but is just starting to build out its consumer brand. This ad plays on the brands strengths while reintroducing it to a new set of consumers.

This stuff is amazing, it makes short work of cleaning your bathroom. It cuts through the grime like nothing else.

The internet managed to figure out who everyone in the Vancouver riot pictures were. Apparently Canada has a lot of angry high school kids.
