Glen Beck - You Suck

I had the displeasure of walking in on my roomie Chris in his nightly dose of CNN/FOX etc. After he left, he left the tv on for me and it was on CNN Headline News with Glen Beck. All I have to say is that he is a Douche Bag. That is all.


f1-challenge(d)

The F1 WebChallenge hosted by Twin Cities’ Sierra Bravo took place this past weekend. It was an 2 day event that helped 11 local non-profits get some help (get it? f1 = help key) on their websites. 11 teams of 88 developers (8 per team) were paired up with a non-profit that matched the skills [...]


Are Stoned Presidents Better Than Coked Out Ones?

Interesting video of Obama admitting smoking pot. In response to “did you inhale”, he remarks “that is the point”. Indeed.
So, what does this say about the changing zeitgeist. Will marijuana be decriminalized? What are the implications of this? Will other drugs replace pot as the “eh” drug? Will future candidates respond “that is the point” [...]


The Stone Age didn’t end for lack of stone…

The Stone Age didn’t end for lack of stone, and the oil age will end long before the world runs out of oil.
An interesting quote I jotted down while riding bike and watching Richard Branson on Charlie Rose tonite. A perhaps obvious, but not embraced thought from the talk was that there is one side [...]


The Kitchen Debate

Ever heard of this? Me neither. Wierd. I wish I knew more about the cold war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_Debate

Gay, Illegal, and Carless….

I found this funny. The issue of gay and illegal hits close to home. Although, I am not sure about the carless part.

Dude… why does AOL’s video player have some much extra HTML to copy/paste?


Charlie Rose vs. Patreaus

Watched this while biking last night. This is probably the best explanation of what is going on in Iraq. I wish Bush would talk as much. hmm.


Charlie Rose on the Pres of Iran

The other night while riding bike I was watching some more Charlie Rose vids. This one was vastly interesting.

A guy wonders how much of this is cultural or language difference? I doubt it is the case here, but that has gotta be damn tough.


Ron Paul Raises $2.5 million - “remember remember the 5th of november”

I think this is amazing. I want to see Ron Paul get elected. Even if he isn’t the “best” candidate, maybe we, as a nation, need to re-think the criteria upon which we judge our great leaders.
As an aside, I wonder if Alan Moore likes to hear “V For Vendetta” referred to as a movie, [...]
