Tricky

Like Jam Master Jay (RIP), cuttin' and scratchin' are the aspects of my game. So last night, I was up to my usual tricks when I decided to pull out an old classic, Tricky, by Run DMC. My DMC collection runs deep so selected a remix 12". On this particular cut, the music in the background is a bit different. Listening to the album, I couldn't help but notice a sample. It is from My Sharona, by the Knack.

Digging around a bit, I found that the Knack took some 20 years to discover the sample. I guess they were not big Hip-Hop fans, eh?

The best part of the video is the helicopter. Run's girlie loses her gold chain to Penn and Teller in a game of Three Card Monte. She then picks up the chopper phone and dials Run. "They took my chain!," she screams. Run directs Jay, the chopper pilot of course, to the scene. People start pointing overhead as the DMC chopper lands. Run, Darrel, and Jay flip the script on Penn and Teller, taking back the gold chain plus all their jewelry. Run DMC then dress Penn and Teller up in their signature threads and Addidas kicks and show them how to strut and dance on stage.

Here's a nice vid someone has put together. Some folks call it a mash-up, I call it Tricky, mmm hmm.

I Westside walk it ow-out, then Eastside walk it ow-out

Progress

I've been tracking my weight via two tools. The first is a website called fitday, available here http://www.fitday.com. The second is by a google plugin called the the google 15. This is an oblique reference to the weight in pounds you put one once joining the company from eating all the free food.

The real advantage to the google 15 tool is that it shows you not only the scale weight over time but also the moving average. In many ways, the moving average is more important as it "filters" out the day to day fluctuations in your weight and shows you the overall trend. Financial wizards have a similar technique called MACD.

The graph to the right represents some of the best progress I've seen in the few months I've been using the tool.
