There’s nothing like a beautiful sunrise on a crisp fall Saturday. The minutes just before dawn are my favorite of the day. There’s something about the stillness of that brief window that calms my spirit.
How about you?
Sermon on the MOUND

I had the idea to make this pic using sections from one of the most famous sermon on the mount paintings after hearing someone on a radio show mispronounce "mount" when referring to the sermon on the mount from the Christian Bible.
Chewbacca and Ewoks rock out to “Welcome To The Jungle”

I love me some Wookies and Ewoks and rock. Watch the whole thing for the Jawa drum line at the end. Nice. Via Geeks Are Sexy (and they are, I might add.

Fake Star Wars lightsaber popsicle tray should be made for real
April 1, 2011 By 2 Comments
Think Geek are masters of creating some of the most epic geeky gadgets on the face of the planet…and that includes their April Fools’ fakey every year.
Some of their April Fools’ products have been so incredible that they’ve actually gone on to become real products…a la the taun taun sleeping bag.
WIRED is calling for this lightsaber popsicle tray to become a real product too…and I’m glad to throw my lot in with them.
This fake product consists of four Lightsaber hilts which — when frozen in juice — become four short-bladed Lightsabers. Two hilts are Luke’s, two Darth Vader’s. There is even an imaginary LED inside each handle which beams its light into the popsicle and makes it glow.
Or will it? The curious thing about ThinkGeek’s April Fool gags is that they create such a demand that the company has to go ahead and make them anyway, making them less pranks and more a kind of clever market research. Fingers crossed that ThinkGeek can get these things licensed and ready in time for Summer, and keeps the price to the currently hypothetical $35.
I’d pay $35 for that awesomeness. Would you?

Sometimes one of the most helpful things you can do for another is to let them learn stuff for themselves, at their own pace.
It’s also one of the most helpful things you can do for yourself.

August 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I spend a LOT of time in front of my computer between web designing and writing. I write somewhere between 10-25 articles per week.
Some of my personal favorite articles that I wrote this week were:
- Soybeans Could Help Cars Use Thin Air For Fuel (On MNN)
- Flying Cars To Become a Reality in 2011…and With Great Gas Mileage (On Greenwala)
- Apple iBike Could Be One Bike To Rule Them All (On Greenwala)
- The ThinBike: Amazingly Simple Bike Design That You Wish You’d Thought Of (On The Fun Times Guide to Living Green)
Which one(s) do you like?
Quote of the Day: The Illusion of Space
August 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The most deceptive of all illusions is very likely space. You know, that thing between “here” and “there” that would have you see yourself alone, instead of as the bridge between them. That medium between you and the rest of the world that disguises your role in creating it. You know, that veil through which the physical senses must explore your chiseled secrets.
Now there is something to think about, eh?
Quote of the Day: Responsibility and the Soul

Young souls learn to accept responsibility for their actions. Mature souls learn to accept responsibility for their thoughts. And old souls learn to accept responsibility for their happiness.
