It is almost here, one of my favorite weeks of the year is almost upon us. Shark Week kicks off on July 29 with a two-hour special telling the story of the USS Indianapolis and narrated by Richard Dreyfuss. Awesome.

…eight all-new programs will air at 9 p.m. ET/PT, joining 103 other programs that have aired since SHARK WEEK’s birth in 1988. Additionally, Discovery Channel will fill its programming schedule from 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. (ET/PT) with shark documentaries…

That’s 18 hours of sharks a day for 6 1/2 days totaling over 100 hours of shark goodness.

When will they make it a national holiday? I should get off work for this.

If you liked that, you should also check out this. It’s a bit old, but still funny.

Welcome to the new and improved site: Lawn of the Month. This is more of a re-introduction to the world rather than a brand new unveiling, if that makes any sense. So update your favorites, your RSS readers, or whatever it is you use to keep track of all things awesome on the internet and stay tuned to future installments on this website. There will be a plethora of things to look forward to including but not limited to a next generation console show off, a crazy amount of reviews, and general fun stuff to keep you coming back for more. Who knows, we might even get Nate to post a thing or two. Until then enjoy this awesome song and find the video that coincides with it.

I’m an avid Digg user and I go there daily for my news. Today, May 1st, has been the weirdest day on Digg. Everyone is posting this secret HD-DVD code that allows you to strip off the DRM and watch them on your Linux box. It’s comes up for submissions and also randomly throughout every story as a comment. When a submission containing the”secret code” gets to the front page, it is immediately taken down.

Yes I know what the code is but I’m way to lazy to rip a HD-DVD just to watch it on a Linux box that I don’t have. I have nothing against pirates but I rather buy my movies from Best Buy because I like to have a physical media in my hands to collect. Music? Well that’s an entirely different story for a different time. I’m sure that if you really wanted the code, you would be able to find it. When will the industry learn that you can’t stop a committed community when it comes to DRM. Only time will tell.

So while visiting one of my favorite sites, Kotaku, I stumbled across this contest to come up with the best acronym for the letters within F.E.A.R. The winner of this contest would win a copy of the game for the PS3. Well guess who won? That’s right boys and girls, I won. “So what was the winning entry?”, you maybe be asking yourself. Free Eggrolls After Rebate is what won it for me. Very random, semi funny, and off the wall is the way I approached this. You can check out the start and finish of the contest here, here, and here. And apparently they are going to let me gloat with a post on their site. How awesome is that?
