I don't know about you, but for once, it really feels like Friday. Maybe that's because it's gorgeous outside around here, and I can think of nothing better than to get through these next couple hours, and get drunk in the sun. Here's some web gold to help you pass the time.

[The Guardian]

Video Time!
