Fun With the English Language
BoingBoing pointed me to a delightful tutorial on the English language from 102 year old Ed Rondthaler, former president of the American Literacy Council and author of The Dictionary of Simplified American Spelling. He is quite the character - Click here for the video. The site it’s hosted on seems to be dedicated to Typography […]
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 […]
…Speechless…
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.
Cameras, Methane and a Moment of Zen
So, my fantastic younger brother hooked me up with this camera over Christmas - 8 megpixel photos, 720p HD Video, and it fits in my back pocket! Best. Gift. Ever.
Now I’m free to pull it out and be shooting 8 seconds after I see a shot that I want! My current […]
George W., Unplugged
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!

Wall-E’s making me laugh and Filthy’s still got it…
I don’t usually start laughing by myself. In front of the computer. Alone…. But! I think that you might find it difficult not to too watching this little mini-short with the characters from Pixar’s latest, Wall-E, due out this June.
I’ve been thinking this week about blogging and it’s (recent) historical context. […]
Lego’s vs. Important real world problems…like Julie Andrews
A quick video for your geeky enjoyment. I don’t know if you’ll get as big a kick out of this as I did, but the guys over at tiltedtwister.com have built themselves a Rubics Cube Solver out of legos! Yes, it’s driven with the Lego Mindstorm programming engine, servos, motors and light sensors. […]
“I’m too stupid to talk to you”
In need of a chuckle or a little downtime between epic research papers or dirty diapers or lame tippers, YB has the answer:
Overheard in New York is always ready to help you revel in the inanity of real conversations heard on the street - Tonight show/Jaywalking style:
Dude with clipboard to couple passing by: Excuse […]
I know it’s still snowing but…
I forgot that I hadn’t posted this just yet. A quick video of a whitewater excursion I took with Dustin, Jed and Andre this summer down Lake Creek near Independence Pass in Colorado. I’m the guy in the yellow boat making everybody else look good (No, actually, they are that good). Click […]
Modern Man Dance
Living with a dancer as a housemate means that 1) every now and again, all furniture is banished from the living room to make space for graceful leaping bodies. 2) Invitations to tango/swing/contra dance come fast and furious. And 3) a passion for this art form can lead one to corners of the Interwebs that, […]
