52 to 48 with love

After this election I think what everyone needs right now is a big hug. A great big unifying hug.

I think this is a pretty positive concept, a conciliatory gesture to the 48% of Americans who didn't vote for Barack Obama. Make your own photo asking for unity and submit it to 52 to 48 with love.

Ready -- Set -- BUMBO

As a new father I was really inspired by this series of videos done by a father and his child for YouTube.

Dilbert Kickin It Old School

Recently on the Dilbert Blog [1/29/08], Scott Adams mused about the seeming randomness of the lyrics of popular songs. He challenged his readers to submit random lyrics of their own that could be combined into a song.

Then one of the readers took it an extra step and made a music video using nothing but images from the Internet. You might be surprised how well it came out:



This is also a good example of how most music company executives wouldn't know what a good song was if it came up and chomped them in the arse. ;)
