It sounds too good to be true, but did you know there are two John Tedescos roaming around in the world? It’s true!

If you recently Googled “John Tedesco” and wound up at my blog, you’re probably looking for this Colbert Report episode that made fun of the other John Tedesco, who is a school board member in Wake County, North Carolina.

This is all very confusing and for now I’m going to think of me and the other John Tedesco as the Good Spock/Bad Spock in that one Star Trek episode about an alternate universe. I’m assuming the other John Tedesco is Bad Spock because they both have goatees and a Vulcan death grip.

I will provide a full update when Colbert will inevitably make fun of me at some point in the future.

Hat tip to Dean Lockwood: “Texas classic. LBJ ordering — explicitly — from Haggar in 1964. Listen for the belch , ‘nuts’ and ‘bung hole.’”

Here’s one good reason to stay in school. Sweet video by Billy Calzada.

Sweet.

“Trash Day,” a hilarious video by Sam Lerma at KSAT, was featured on Vimeo this week. It’s the story of a woman’s obsession with her garbage man, based on an actual Craigslist ad, which says: “You are the hottest garbage man I have ever seen.”

It only gets better from there …

I snapped a picture every few seconds at my cousin John’s awesome wedding at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. Here’s a time lapse of more than 2,800 photos.

There’s a lesson for journalists somewhere in this video …

I was working at the office this morning when I heard some weird Roadrunner-style “beep beeps” outside. I went to my editor’s window, which has a clear view of the street facing the Alamo, and I saw a huge group of people on scooters.

It was a Vespa rally. And where there are Vespas, you’ll probably find my friends Thovas and Tina Brown. I went outside and sure enough, I got to see Thovas and Tina at the front of the pack. Here they are in the front row:

Here’s a video of the massive scooter gang heading out:

Update: Express-News photographer Bob Owen shot some cool photos of the rally, which was part of the AmeriVespa Conference in San Antonio.

This Nike ad is epic — and I don’t even follow soccer.
