<p>That promo clip captures everything that is awesome about Aziz Ansari on this show. It seems like he is able to get his brand of comedy through his character. Much like the most recent addition of <strong>DJ Roomba</strong> to the show.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/asteroid-20100202.html" target="_blank">According to the NASA</a>: &#8220;<em>NASA&#8217;s Hubble Space Telescope has observed a mysterious X-shaped debris  pattern and trailing streamers of dust that suggest a head-on collision  between two asteroids. Astronomers have long thought the asteroid belt  is being ground down through collisions, but such a smashup has never  been seen before.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Riiiiight</span>. That don&#8217;t like no damn &#8220;2 asteroids that collided together&#8221; son. Could it be that George Lucas was right??? Is it one of those Rebel Alliance transport vessels?</p>

<p>Or is it one of the Klingon scout ships from the Star Trek universe?</p>

<p>His audience was people trying to get into the web2.0 aspect of internet business. But I feel most of the things he says can apply to everyone. &#8220;Do what you love&#8221; basically.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw a short piece this week covering an issue I was <strong>unaware </strong>of in Miami. Definitely controversial, and something to think about.</p>
<p><span id="more-1609"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1618" title="monsters3" src="http://www.freshbasilcrew.com/wp-content/uploads/monsters3.jpg" alt="monsters3" width="400" height="267" /></p>
<p>The piece is called <strong>&#8220;Monsters of Miami&#8221;</strong>, and can be viewed on <a href="http://current.com/items/89064693_monsters-of-miami.htm" target="_blank">Current.com here</a>. It talks about the current situation in which<strong> convicted sex offenders</strong> are unable to live within <strong>2,500 ft</strong> of where children are known to gather and play. It seems <em>reasonable</em>, until you realize that it makes it hard for the people to live practically anywhere. Many of them have ended up under a bridge that many of us cross as we head into Miami Beach to party.</p>
<p>The piece was actually based upon a <a href="http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2007-12-13/news/sex-offenders-set-up-camp" target="_blank">story that came out of the Miami New Times</a>. <strong>Isaiah Thompson</strong> first broke the story back in March of 2007, when these laws were passed forcing past sex offenders to live under the bridge.</p>
<p>You can view the piece here: <a href="http://current.com/items/89064693_monsters-of-miami.htm" target="_blank">Monsters of Miami</a>.<br />
<strong>What do you think?</strong> Do these people deserve to be living under a bridge for the rest of their lives?</p>
<p>Here are some pics from <a href="http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2007-12-13/news/sex-offenders-set-up-camp" target="_blank">Isaiah&#8217;s original report</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out one of the world&#8217;s most interesting people sit down with Charlie Rose to talk about his documentary.</p>
<p><span id="more-1142"></span></p>
<p><object width="400" height="326" data="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?showShareButtons=true&amp;docId=7400454688146002818%3A160000%3A1682000&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?showShareButtons=true&amp;docId=7400454688146002818%3A160000%3A1682000&amp;hl=en" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>Best part by far:</p>
<p><strong><em>Charlie</em></strong>: &#8220;At the top of that (megalomania) you thought there was nothing you couldn&#8217;t have, nothing you couldn&#8217;t do, nothing that you wanted that you couldn&#8217;t get&#8230;&#8221;<br />
<strong><em>Tyson</em></strong>: &#8220;<span style="color: #ff0000;">No, I felt I couldn&#8217;t die.</span>&#8221;</p>
<p>So real! This guy came from the gutter and reached the highest of the high&#8217;s for a poor kid from Brooklyn. Parade&#8217;s in Moscow? Crazy.</p>
<p>This documentary is a must see. <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/tyson/" target="_blank">Check out the trailer</a>.</p>
<p>For an extra treat, check out this montage video put together with lots of Tyson&#8217;s best &#8220;did he just say that&#8221; moments.</p>
