Human LCD

Using color-coordinated clothing rather than cards, soccer fans in South Korea have been creating amazing synchronized routines in stadium stands. Apparently, they borrowed the technique from their northern neighbor, only without all the socialist propaganda. One assumes they eventually find time to watch the games. Watch another cool video here.

Put Your Best Faceball Forward

Faceball is the newest sport to come out of the cubicle jungle. The game involves hitting your opponents in the face with a ball. That’s right, Cubicle Connie—it’s time to show your colleagues the stuff you’re really made of! Beyond that, there only a few rules: Players that are seated 10ft (3m) apart take turns hitting each other in the face. You are not allowed to move. Only direct hits count. The official website discourages using medicine or other heavy, hard balls. You can actually buy an “official” Faceball, which is really just a plastic beach ball.

For Squares?

The quintessential childhood playground game Four Square is hot in Silicon Valley right now. Apparently the geeks techies at Meebo can't get enough of it. Want to start your own office Four Square tournament too, click here for the rules. I don't know why but I think this has IFC documentary written all over it! What if they called it "Server Down". Have your people call my people.

All Star's Boyfriends

What is Alyssa Milano’s deal with major league baseball players? Milano has been linked to major league pitchers Barry Zito, Carl Pavano and Brad Penny. But now it seems she has her eyes on Los Angeles Dodger catcher Russell Martin. Is it that she dates these guys to further her new Baseball themed jewelry line called TOUCH which is set to launch at the upcoming MAGIC show in Las Vegas from August 27-30, 2007 or is she just a bonified cleat-chaser? Alyssa is not the only Hollywood girl with her eyes on a baseball diamond, Eliza Dushku and Dodger's pitcher and might I add Alyssa's ex, Brad Penny are apparently a new couple. All I have to say is becareful girls, locker rooms have nicknames for girls like you. So what's the deal, have baseball players replaced British dudes as the new trophy boyfriend?

Chari-tees?

Lance Armstrong and Nike announced a deal today that would make the LiveStrong brand more than just bracelets. A full line of tee shirts, jackets and even LiveStrong sneakers are in the works for next season. There hasn't been anything quite like it in fashion before, MAC Viva Glam and Gap were charity initiatives born out of huge companies, but not the other way around. Which brings up an interesting question: Can a charity stunt become a brand?

Trophy Wifes

A recent obsession with the beautiful significant others of top sports figures. This trend shouldn't be too surprising to anyone who went to high school.

In related news: the countdown has begun for Eva Longoria and Tony Parker's wedding. Apparently their lucky day will be 07/07/07.

Who is your favorite Power Couple?
