Link of the Day, Plus NPR Reminder (2:20 pm)
Reminder: You can hear me live on NPR’s Science Friday show with Ira Flatow today at 2:20 p.m. ET, talking about the new Yankee Stadium. Click to listen live and here for more details about the gig.
Link of the Day fans, here’s a beaut: An impassioned defense of hockey for Time Magazine, written by none other than Silent Bob himself, Kevin Smith. Loved the intro:
On June 1st, I start shooting the biggest movie of my career. It’s called “A Couple of Dicks” and stars both comic genius Tracy Morgan and one of my longtime heterosexual crushes, the pride of Penn’s Grove, N.J. himself: the Yippee Kay Yay-ster, Walter Bruce Willis.
And that’s nice.
On June 17th, I’m gonna step out onto the famed Carnegie Hall stage in New York City and do my usual foul-mouthed brand of stand-up Q&A for a mix of society swells and bridge-and-tunnel stoners at the most well-known theater on the planet.
And that’s okay.
But the other day I got an email from this guy Ron Finucan, who’s a friend of Walter Gretzky — the guy who taught hockey legend Wayne Gretzky everything he knew, both on and off the ice. Walter Gretzky: the Father of The Great One (and, as most canucks will tell you, Canada’s Dad).
And that was nothing short of amazing.
There’s much, much more. Great read for puckheads and non-puckheads alike.
