My friend Joel just posted this, and I thought I’d share it with you.

Incredible Wing Suit Video- Men Gliding at 100+MPH

This is crazy.  Guys are base jumping from cliffs wearing wingsuits, and falling/gliding/flying at over 100 miles per hour.  Incredible!

Like my friend Jeff, I don’t harbor any illusions that most of you are seeing this for the first time on my blog.  Also like my friend Jeff, I have a few friends in far-away places that may not see this if I don’t post it.  Again, like Jeff, I just wanted to show my support.

Whichever political side you fall on, please watch and listen with an understanding of what Mark is saying here.  Without bringing any politics into the discussion, he points out what he sees as positive things about the man, Barack Obama.

Took this video on my phone for Kem Meyer’s 40th birthday blog hijacking.

for so, so many reasons, but I’m just going to link to one right now.  She is a great photographer, and a tasteful photoshop-er.  Here’s a sample… click the picture to see more!

I especially like her “click here” links to the before-and-after pages.

I’ve been searching for a while for good music to work by, and just some new music to listen to in general. The other day on the way back to work I swung by the library to graze the CD section. I got 5, but the two that I’m going to have to go buy now are “Let It Be… NAKED” (the re-release of The Beatles “Let It Be” album with all the orchestra stripped out (as it was originally recorded)) and The Afters album “Never Going Back to OK.”  I’m really digging their style, and it’s some good music for blocking out distractions and working like crazy.

Coming to the close of one big project, and trying to to some major stuff to tie up another project by the 16th.  Good times, good times.  I can’t stress this enough: I’m loving my job.

Dana sent me a link to this “Uno Electric Motorcycle” that some teenager built.  This thing is schaweet!!  The article has some good info on it.

Kids are great! We get so much joy every day being with our 2.5 year old daughter. I know I’m biased, but she really is one of the funniest kids I’ve ever met. She has the best sense of humor (I give her mom full credit for that), and she takes pleasure in doing and saying funny things to make us laugh.

She’s also quite affectionate, and as any dad can tell you, there’s not much better than getting a hug, kiss, and “I love you, Daddy” from your daughter. (One of those things that’s better is getting a hug, kiss, and “I love you Hubby” from your wife)

But the BEST part about kids is that when they get old enough, you can put them to work!!

I’d say 2 and a half is old enough to start mowing, and I figure that over the next few weeks we can add in the dishes, laundry, mopping the floors and splitting wood for our campfires.
