Every time I see this idea I say "That's a great idea.  I'm going to do that too."  Link to the site.

More Tune Yards

Tune Yards are really just Merrill Garbus who recently signed with 4AD records.  After watching a few of her videos on the Internets I am struck by how good she sounds when singing live in poor recording situations.  I also think she assembles a song well.  Here is an example of both.  Link

sanibel island florida trip picks

Some pic's forwarded to me by my mother in law Vicky from our recent trip to Sanibel island. 

Maya hunting for shells.

Ella piloting the boat in Tarpon Bay.  Didn't hit a single manatee. 

Maya and some of her favorite things: Pom Pom (grandpa), Sammy the dog and rock star glasses. 

Picking shells on the beach is tiring.

Some posters from Cage design.  I am waiting for the Chanhassen edition to come out.  Click this link to see all of the posters. 

Tune Yards

Link to an artist and her video I stumbled upon and likely liked more than you will..  I can't get you the next three minutes back so click with personal responsibility. 

Freak out

Here is a link to a short video of a young chinese woman freaking people out by just standing still in a doorway.  Do they think she is a ghost?  I think it is interesting that no one seems to laugh after they get scared.  Watch the last guy all the way to the end of the video.  

“Frost Hammer”

Snakes for the Divine comes out February 23 on E1.

What my blog has come to.

My blog has stooped to stealing some obscure guy's tweets and putting them up as a blog post and claiming they are my own.  Unless someone googles the quotes and finds that I didn't write them you can assume these are my thoughts.  I did add pics for effect.

 

Cross-country skiing. I've never been more impressed by something that is so uninteresting. Good for you, doing that hard, boring thing.

"when diet and exercise are not enough" really means "since we know you're not going to diet or exercise.."

This year for Lent, I'm just giving up.

Oh, ice dancers. If you're going to dress like that, the least you could do is magic.

Sad

British designer Alexander McQueen who created the shoes Lady Gaga wears in the video Bad Romance sadly ended his life. 

I like it.

You know how I wanted a do everything steel road bike and the Salsa La Cruz Cyclocross bike was the best fit?  I love my La Cruz but it has off road tires, doesn't have all the touring brazons and it has stiff gearing that needs to be changed out.  Salsa saw a lot of people buying the La Cruz not as a cyclocross bike but rather like me as a do everything roadbike.  As a result they now make the Vaya to answer my La Cruz compromises.  Here are more words from Salsa about it.
