This is SO Epicly Awesome

Some light-hearted fair for you all on this fine afternoon. To say this is "a skate film" might be the understatement of the year.

All I want is the Truth

I want the truth. Not truthiness.










I love the part where Ms. Palin refers to "Palin McCain" Campaign. In closing I have to admit I have a huge secret crush on Rachel Maddow.

Hmmm

I was reading through my past posts and saw one where I asked rhetorically if politics was the only thing I was passionate about. I don't think this would be an accurate statement. I instantly thought of two videos about another passion. I hope you enjoy them.








Oh, And there is this one too.

You Might Be a Sorenson IF

You might be a Sorenson if you are a skilled enough "knee driver" to be able to take both hands off of the wheel going 85 and take pictures out your car window of a rainbow all while making sure you A. Don't rear end anyone. B. Don't hit the semi permanent median on the freeway inches from your car. And C. make sure that the window is simultaneously down far enough to not be seen in the picture, but not so far that rain can enter the car. Here is one of my fav's that I took. Not too bad for a cell phone eh?






























I just noticed that if you click the picture you can see a reflected rainbow next to the main rainbow. Fun.


In other news, I've started a new book called "Good to Great". I wonder what my roommate thinks about the fact that I don't read fiction since he was an English Lit. Major. Either way, its what I enjoy and can relate to so its what I read. So far the book is really thought provoking. The great thing about serious business books is that although they do feel slightly like self-help books at points, they never stoop to being purely anecdotal. Teams of researchers spent 5 years mulling over what made great companies outperform competitors based on some very very intense quantitative metrics. This really oversimplifies things, but the book is great so far. Anyway. I hope all is well for everyone. I'll write more soon.

Ms. Palin

The jed report posted the following widget. It basically counts how long Sarah Palin has gone without speaking to the press. If she isn't ready to answer questions, why is she even being considered as a possible VP?

Less about Palin, More about Pundits

This clip shows why the daily show is a valuable news source. Their ability to go through archived video to tell a more complete story than you would otherwise obtain is really valuable. Its short... Check it AYYYOut.




OH, And here's a picture of me with a french bulldog.



























No, Its not mine. It was running down the street and I stopped it and called the owner. It was nice to imagine it was mine. Really cute dogs. Gimme a month or six and I'll have one.
