I’m Hoping that Shakespeare is Right…

… and that this isn’t just another exercise in my sadly well developed ability to rationalize and justify. It’s definitely more than an exercise…..
To begin, certain books, which are likely not unknown to readers of this blog, open with the William Shakespeare quote,
‘There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

Somethingawful’s current photoshop contest sez it’s opposite day at the magazine rack.  I can only imagine how I looked laughing out loud by myself in the car… click the image to see the other entries.

I Heart Prognosticators

Robert X. Cringely, my favorite technology cheerleader/pundit/futurist has etched the date for the end of commercial television as we know it - July 22, 2015 - 7 years from today.   His Column lays it out in all the relevent market driven, technology oriented forces that will come to bear at that point in time. From […]

I’d post it here but the video from break.com, well, it’s breaks my blog.
But never fear, click here to watch the hands down best catch of the baseball season. Any baseball season. Ever. And it was performed by a minor league…..ummmm, ball….girl. Yeah, believe it, go watch.

Gentrification Indicators

POSTED BY YB on Jun 10 under Asides, Community, Education, Global is Local, ideas

Traveling in Denver recently, I passed by my old neighborhood.  Besides obvious indicators like the recent arrival of the Tattered Cover to my old stomping grounds, gentrification is in full effect.  A proliferation of luxury condos and trendy restaurants are creeping slowly West on Colfax from Colorado.  I saw one change that really made the […]

Wow, a tour of the Oval office by the prez, that the press office just, sorta, forgot to edit, despite the president’s obviously made-for-TV-post-production vocal style. *shaking head* Our country continues to suffer this foolish man. Barak! Hurry up and get in there!

Oh BoingBoing, how I’ve missed you!

POSTED BY YB on May 28 under Animation, Asides, Design

Working out in CSprings for the past month or so has seriously cut into my online wanderings.  Thankfully the gig only lasts another couple of weeks after which I can get refocused on the fun stuff.  That said, I dipped back into BoingBoing.net land today and was not at all disappointed.  These folks and their […]

Normally I wouldn’t comment…

But since this incident occured in my home town a couple of minutes from my family’s church, I thought I’d think out loud about it here… But, I don’t know what to share about this.  I’ve been attending BV town meetings on and off for the last few years as the South Main project wended […]
