Awesome Celebration: Happy 75th to the Golden Gate Bridge

The best bridge in the world just celebrated its 75th anniversary. This first video is a nice piece from the San Francisco Chronicle and its most famous writer, the late Herb Caen. The second video documents the fireworks display, which was incredible. Even if you were there in person, it's worth watching so you can relive it!

Awesome Video: Bill Murray's Version of an Autograph

Awesome Trailer: The Great Gatsby

I couldn't even finish the Cliff Notes of The Great Gatsby when I was a kid. This trailer looks amazing though. Guess I'll finally find out what the story's about.

Awesome Tribute: Jay-Z performs No Sleep Till Brooklyn

This is another video that we've been meaning to post for awhile. We never really paid tribute to Adam 'MCA' Yauch on the JOA and posting this video seemed appropriate. It's actually from 2009 when the Beastie Boys were supposed to headline the All Points West music festival in New Jersey. Unfortunately, MCA just announced he had throat cancer and had to miss the event. Jay-Z filled in an appropriately performed No Sleep Till Brooklyn. It's a great performance and as fitting in 2012 as it was in 2009. via Flipboard

Awesome Promo Video: Trainer Eric Kelly for Church Street Boxing Gym in NYC

Tough love is a great motivation tactic in sports. Especially when it's hilariously tough. Eric Kelly may be an ass, but he's a funny one. I'd sign up for this gym in a second if I lived in NYC. Via The SF Egotist

Awesome Ad & YouTube Experience: Nike Football - my time is now

On its own, 'My Time is Now' is an entertaining and exciting cinematic ad comparable to Nike Football's 'Write the Future' spot during the last World Cup. But, this also has a very nice interactive feature on YouTube. Click here to check it out. By clicking on specific callouts, you can do a number of things like learn more about a player, see the latest Nike Football gear or give yourself a haircut. Oh, and there's a nice cameo from Lebron.

Awesome Words: Neil DeGrasse Tyson - We Stopped Dreaming

If Neil was as popular when I was a kid as he is now, I'd probably be a scientist. I always dreamed of going to NASA Space Camp and a little bit of my inner child dies when I think about kids in the future not being able to dream about the possibilites of what they can achieve and the dream of making science fiction reality.

Awesome Ride: Bo Bikes Bama

From April 24th to April 28th, Bo Jackson biked 300 miles across Alabama to raise $1 million for the Governor's Emergency Relief Fund, which helps victims of the massive tornado outbreak they suffered in 2011. Bo's a little more than halfway toward his fundraising goal. Check out his site here, and either donate to the cause or bid on some great items in the auction. There's a couple days left for bidding.

Awesome PSA: ISPCC - I can't wait till I grow up

This is another spot I had bookmarked for months. This ad ran last year and while it's another graphic PSA, it's amazingly effective. Incredible acting by the child also helps to drive the message home.

Awesome PSA: Sasha Grey for equal pay

If you know who Sasha Grey is, you know where this PSA for equal pay for women is going. But it's daring and worth watching.

Awesome Move: 720 Double Tailwhip

I've had this bookmarked for about 3 months and just can't seem to delete it. It's incredible. So, that makes it worth posting.

Awesome Ads: Vlingo - a virtual assistant for everyone

Vlingo is just like Siri but it's ads are funnier than the parodies of Apple ads for Siri. via sfegotist

Awesome Trailer: Gangster Squad

Based on the true story of LAPD's war against the East Coast mafia & Mickey Cohen. This looks amazing.

Awesome Robot: Panasonic's Evolta completes an Ironman Triathlon

This is another story I've been meaning to for months. I've only been able to do sprint triathlons so far and this little robot (in three different versions) was able to complete a full Ironman. Impressive.

EVOLTA Swim Robot finished the 3.8km swim in 5hours and 36 minutes at 5:36pm on October 23.

EVOLTA Bike Robot finished biking 180.2km in 97 hours and 42 minutes at 7:19pm on October 27.

EVOLTA Run Robot finished the 42.2km run in 63 hours and 38 minutes at 10:56am on October 30.

The official result of the 230km triathlon challenge was 166 hours and 56 minutes.

Awesome Ad: Canadian Paralympic Committee - Unstoppable

Amazing spot! And as a bonus cool factor, it was shot in one take with no CGI.

Awesome Store: photobooth

Awesome Move: Joe Biden endorses same sex marriage

On Sunday, Joe Biden appeared on NBC's Meet The Press and became the highest ranking political figure to publicly endorse same sex marriage. It was a bold and brave move that many politicians would never dream of doing, even if they agree with Biden. Fuckin awesome Mr. Vice President!

Awesome Ad: BMW - Head

First BMW spot I've seen in a long time that amused me.

Awesome Trailer: Call of Duty Black Ops II

This trailer don't have the 'holy shit' moments that the Modern Warfare 3 one did, but it's still awesome.

Awesome Trailer: The Dark Knight Rises #3

Between Avengers, Prometheus & The Dark Knight, this is going to be a great summer. This trailer looks awesome! But, what does Bane say in the beginning?
