Awesome Ads: ESPN - "Handshake" & "Michael Jordan"
ESPN has always had some of the best commercials around. These two new ones don't disappoint.
Awesome Movement: Kony 2012
Despite the criticism and the director's public nude rant, this movement has been pretty impressive. With over 100 million views and counting, the general public is now pretty aware of Kony and looking for more information, which is what they set out to do. This Friday, April 20th, is their global day of action called, Cover the Night. Click here to find out what you can do.
Awesome Trailers: Mass Effect 3
I missed the first two installments of Mass Effect, but with the heavy promotion for part 3, I decided to check it out. Only been playing for a little bit, but so far so good. Plays like Dead Space, which is nice. Hopefully it doesn't get boring half-way through.
Awesome Performance: Dr Dre & Snoop @ Coachella 2012
Damn I really wish I was there. Between the Nate Dogg tribute and a cameo by Tupac in hologram form, this was one hell of a performance.

Awesome Story: Caine's Arcade by Nirvan Mullick
Just saw this on Devour it's one of the best stories I've seen in a very long time. Caine Monroy is a 9 year old from East LA who literally built his own arcade out of cardboard in the front of his dad's auto parts shop. The amazing thing is, because his games are built with the passion and joy that only a child with his imagination could possess, they look more fun than most of the $1billion video games that get released every year.
This kid's amazing. And you if you agree, you can click here to view his website and donate to the scholarship fund that was set up for him.
