A friend of mine just forwarded me a hilarious like that takes rap songs and puts them into various graphs and schematics using Excel. It's downright classic.
This one may be my fave for you Jay Z fans (check them all out here):

Books I've Read
Patti Smith: Just Kids
I'm not much of a fan of either of the artists featured (Patti Smith and Robert Mappelthorpe), but the book is very compelling taking me into a new world and time that I was not really aware of. (***)Colum McCann: Let the Great World Spin: A Novel
A wonderfully gritty, compelling set of interwoven stories told by a gifted author. (*****)Stieg Larsson: The Girl Who Played with Fire (Vintage)
A quicker read than the first installment, but the end of it was very unsatisfying. I suspect it's meant to get me to read the next one. (***)Stieg Larsson: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
An interesting and well written book. (****)Pat Conroy: The Prince of Tides: A Novel
An absolute must read. (*****)Deepak Chopra: The Essential How to Know God: The Essence of the Soul's Journey Into the Mystery of Mysteries (The Essential Deepak Chopra)
Interesting, but at times overwhelming description of an applicable model of existence and our relationship with God. (***)Alan Lightman: Einstein's Dreams
A really confusing book that has a moment or two. (**)Per Petterson: Out Stealing Horses: A Novel
A well written novel that weaves the present to the past. A little on the dark side. (***)Jonathan Franzen: The Corrections: A Novel
A super interesting long novel that proves to me what it means to be a professional writer. Wonderful characters, well worth the time. (****)Steve Martin: Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life
A home run book that is delightful, touching, warm, funny and all of the other similar things that we never associate with Steve Martin. I'm blessed to have read it. (*****)
