Not safe for the workplace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1IxOS4VzKM&feature=player_embedded Remember, October is Ray Bradbury Month. Pick out your books now. I found this on delicious.com, but it was posted on IO9 – the SyFy channel of SF blogging. Don’t go there.

Yankee Stadium
Tuesday, August 17, 2010
