Must Read: Patton Oswalt gave an inspiring speech at the graduation ceremony of his old high school. It is quite awesome: hysterical and heartfelt.

“The week before graduation I strangled a hobo. Oh wait, that’s a different story. That was college. I’m speaking at my college later this month. I’ve got both speeches here. Let me sum up the college speech – always have a gallon of bleach in your trunk.”

World’s Worst Dad with a Camera: “Hi Doctor, I guess it all started when my dad got a camera, some horror movie props and wanted to get noticed on the Internet… yes, I have about 10 bloodcurdling nightmares a night… and in the day too… pretty much around the clock.”

Beijing Tour Guide: “If you look to the right we have totalitarian oppression and lung-collapsing smog and if you look to the left, we have pretty gardens!”

Low-Tech Googling: The kids at Geekadelphia are having some old-time crafty DIY fun with Google Image Search. I can’t wait to take one of these nifty templates to an Eagles/Dallas games when the Birds are getting crushed and the fans are getting a tad unruly. I bet I’ll get some swell pix.

New Mogwai! A nice departure from the heavier stuff, “sunny” I dare say! Free MP3: “The Sun Smells Too Loud” {via Stereogum}
