The TrueHoop Bump

When Henry Abbot is desperate to fill out his daily bullets over at TrueHoop, DeceptivelyQuick links that I bombard the guy with will show up on occasion. This site gets linked to by others every now and again these days, but its still fun stuff to see this obscureness grace other more high-traffic screens. I thought I'd share the effects:



Yeah, last Friday the 3 second video of Greg Oden's Frohawk was interesting enough for thousands to check out the link in the daily bullets. I'm no mathemagician, but going from 79 unique visitors to 2,468 is like a 100% increase at least. Thanks to Henry for the support, and to those of you who like it here even when it isn't cool.

Greg Oden: Frohawk Supporter

I saw this during the game against Seattle and immediately scrambled to capture some video evidence. I swear to you this grainy glimpse is indeed a Greg Oden frohawk. Guitar Hero and rehab are officially no longer enough to keep this man occupied, he's moved on to hair experimentation:



Of course, this could just be a sign of Greg becoming more indie-Portland. In case you don't know, this city leads the nation in white people with dreadlocks and hipster mullets per capita. Whatever the case, if it helped this guy run a marathon, I'm all for it.

ODEN FROHAWK UPDATE: Kelly Dwyer! over at Yahoo! also appreciates Oden's hair-art, and features an especially dashing photo.
