April's Fools

I'm very excited about tomorrow (April Fool's day) because every year Google puts out some sort of crazy hoax that is just too funny to be true.

Alas, I am still awaiting the installation of my TiSP (toilet internet service provider). Not to mention waiting to get my Gmail Paper with all of my gmail conversations printed and shipped to my apartment in a large box.

But I guess I will just have to wait some more. In the meantime, I think I will go superglue a quarter to a sidewalk. With vending machine's charging $1.25 for drinks now, the quarter has regained some of its value! (that, and there's always the laundromats...)

unemployed man gets rich

Gosh, don't you ever wish to wake up one morning and just see you have $$$? Look at this story, this guy in Japan, doesn't have a job, 61 years old, but one day just opens his mailbox and see's 10000$ there! Sigh... check it out.

Blog Book...Yippy!

So, I was at the university bookstore just the other day and found a book on blogs in the bargain book section. Now, if you're like me and simply must scoop up any deal that happens to be advertised (yeah, I'll admit that I'm an advertiser's jackpot...impulse buyer all the way) you will understand that I bought Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing Your World by Hugh Hewitt (I mean come on...it was like $2) and 5 other books as well. I fully intend to read this book when I get the free time...don't know when that will be...but hey! at least i made the effort to buy it and call it my own.

Anywho...thought it was relevant and interesting...didn't know if any of you had heard of it or not...

MSNBC news videos

Recently, I've really enjoyed listening to headlines and short news stories through the videos on msnbc.
I like how there are many videos to choose from.
There are some commercials but they're really short.

Photographer's Journal

Recently, the New York Times posted an audio slideshow made by Jan Grarup, a photojournalist who has been documenting the refugee crisis in Eastern Chad and Darfur, Sudan for several years. The package is just over 3 minutes and well worth the time spent watching it. The photos are black and white---and amazing. Technologically speaking, there is nothing amazing or over the top about this piece. It is quite simple, but the subject matter and the images are what really spoke to me
