This is a public plea to @melanieross to let me buy this place in Bjarkøy, Norway. I bet the weather is terrible. And the sun shines for like 3 hours per day. And the food would cause my stomach to do backflips. But those all seem like minor hurdles to owning this slice of heaven.
I haven’t decided yet if this is just a great satirical illustration or a sad and exposing view of what we have become. This Saturday we will be taking the kid out for a trick-or-treating excursion and my hope is that I can refrain from being exactly what the illustration infers – worried more about…
I’m not exactly sure where to start. I’ve been sitting on this for 10 days now and the words haven’t fully developed. I’m hoping the new (free) live Coldplay album will help them start to flow. I fully realize I run the risk of this coming off cheesy, but there are certain instances in life…
A couple of guys from CollegeHumor.com have had a long standing prank war going on dating back a few years. In what I thought was the pinnacle of their war, last year Amir scheduled an engagement proposal for Streeter and his then girlfriend. It took almost a year and a half (and the loss of…
Like I said, quality content could flow today. This one is by a buddy of mine and fellow dotcomrade, Aaron Garcia (and yes, his hair is that cool). Beautifully done, great cause. So what are your plans for Valentine’s Day? http://www.5dollarwater.com/ V-Day ‚Äì 5 Dollar Water from Aaron Garcia on Vimeo.
Before I saw a single news headline or heard anything about it, I saw a flickr image of the plane in the Hudson today taken from a camera-phone by a person on the boat sent to rescue the passengers. It made it to Twitter and then copied to Flickr within minutes and spread like wildfire…
There’s no chance I would ever even claim to want to attempt something like this but it is crazy to watch. wingsuit base jumping from Ali on Vimeo. (via A Tiny Pixel) Two things of note: 1. I love Vimeo. They do video better than any site out there. 2. I’m sorry for the lack…
Knowing for several years about the Gainesville State School and their football team from both buddies in college and now the workplace, the story of the Tornadoes isn’t new to me. What is new is that for the first time this year our local Christian school, Grapevine Faith, played the kids from up north (armed…
It’s exciting to me to see church media and their creators starting to get it. For far too long, the materials presented to the public were sub-par. I Am Second, gets it. A ministry that concerns itself with both substance and style. One of the best presentations in any field I have seen in a…
If she’ll hurry up and steal a couple more wallets that’d be one heck of a story to tell the grand kids: 76 arrests in 76 years. Note: there seems to be some discrepancy in the published articles. Some sources have it listed as 73 while others list 37. Either way, it’s a fine accomplishment.
Rob Shiflet finding great articles on a Thursday morning.
I visited the updated justwatchthesky today multiple times just to see the following: It’s got me wondering.
Some of you know, every year about this time ESPN sets aside a week called Jimmy V week to pay respect to the memory of Jim Valvano and raise money for the V Foundation for Cancer Research. In short, Jim Valvano was a college basketball coach at North Carolina State University (National Champs, 1983) and…
5 interceptions, 1 fumble, 1 missed 2-point conversion for the tie, 1 dropped pass with only one second on the clock turns into 13 seconds on the clock, 1 53-yard game winning field goal wiped out by a timeout call, 1 53-yard game winning field goal as time runs out. All adding up to 1…
For those not following the news recently, News Corp. (see below) made a formal offer in April to buy Dow Jones & Co (The Wall Street Journal, among others) and an agreement was reached today for a measly $5.6 billion. News Corp. is a publicly traded company controlled/run by Rupert Murdoch. I was amazed today…
Edit: Sorry this is really long. There’s only one occasion that I can distinctly remember as a kid when I attempted an act that I am guessing most have at some point in their life. I didn’t see it as that much of a big deal, but I do remember that my mother and I…
note: song has a couple of questionable lyrics, not too bad though. Lip Dub – Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from and Vimeo.
you got passed up a long time ago. For quite some time now car makers like Toyota, Honda, Subaru, and Volkswagen have made better looking cars and made them higher in quality all at the same time. Some new guys are even creeping up on you as well. After spending some time at the bottom…
