Perhaps it’s only funny because despite being exhausted I only managed to get 4 hours of sleep, but seamus over at Rangelife has a very funny mockup of the “new” SF Examiner at the end of a rant on the GWOT and the media.
If you’re not a SF area resident you might not get the joke though.
Let’s see if I can fall back asleep now or not.
Four times a year, they do a “Day In The Life” challenge at Flickr. You’re supposed to chronicle your day and share the shots with the other people on Flickr.
I’m interested and want to participate but also feel very intimidated by the whole thing. There are a lot of good photographers on Flickr; I doubt my pedestrian efforts will hold up well to theirs.
Oh, and Happy Spring to all!
This is definitely NOT work-safe (or kid-safe) but very funny: a video clip with a bunch of TV actors telling us their favorite swear words. Apparently it was part of a promotional campaign for Channel 4 over in the UK.
I like it, although it’s one of those commercials that will be remembered more for the content than for the actual product it’s supposed to be promoting.
So this week is my Spring Break. It doesn’t feel much like a break. I’m working as per usual, three days a week. Plus, with a midterm and a 20-minute class presentation coming up next week, I’m spending my two “off” days up on campus studying and working. In other words, the only thing that’s break-y about this week is that I don’t have to be on campus at night Tuesday and Wednesday.
Not feeling particularly blog-y either. However, John at AmericaBlog has a really nice rant that’s worth a read.
Smelling the Coffee says, “You aren’t going to believe this one,” but I didn’t find it that mind blowing. It seems to be very firmly rooted in the grand tradition of vaudeville to me:
Performer Chris Bliss juggles to the tune of “Abbey Road”. (click the link on the right)
Although to be sure, it’s a pretty impressive display of juggling skill.
Here’s what I’d tell him:
You’ve got your single-season steroid-enhanced record, and much good may it do you. Accept the fact that you won’t beat Hank Aaron, retire, and take all the controversy with you.
But please, just go.
