These are some of the funniest paintings that I’ve ever seen. I think you have to listen to the podcast to get a lot of them. But it’s still funny. I wish I had a ton of artistic friends who would make awesome paintings from my ramblings.

The Smodcast is the podcast of producer Scott Mosier and Director Kevin Smith, it’s profane, filthy, and hilarious.

Things I found on the Internet today using Stumbler and the power of imagination

America

America


I was reading a discussion on Ask Metafilter about understanding America and I got inspired about what a great country that we live in. I also recently re-discovered Stumble Upon. You see I have this list of about 30 bookmarks that I visit on a regular basis. When those are done, I’ve officially finished the internet. I just sit there trying to think of something to Google. But stumbling allows me to randomly go through sites that are rated good by the community. There seems to be some kind of relationship to that discussion and the links that I’m finding today

The Wikipedia entry on the history of beer in America

A picture of the invasion fleet at Normandy

A video about the Chrysler Turbo Encabulator

Beard Team USA

I don’t know if these links explain America. I’m sure if I spent time on it I could noodle out some correlation of feedom and responsibility and recreation. But I think that it explains my interests and humor pretty well.

Later!

I'll be in my office

Life, Randomness

Pooping at work, it’s not something that I particularly enjoy, but it’s got to be done.

Here are some of my thoughts.

I think this should be a rule. Don’t comment on another’s stink or sounds while in the bathroom. (you can totally tell all the cube mates when you get back to the desk) IE: “Man! Johnson was really tearing it up in the bathroom” or just a simple “Whooooo man! ” will do. But I do not want to have a conversation with the guy in the next stall.

I always tuck my work ID into my pocket while I’m doing the deed. I’m in there struggling with a bran muffin and a grande coffee I don’t need to be identified by name and face. It’s bad enough that I’m probably the only person in the office that’s wearing jeans and black and white Nike Airs, I don’t need any more identification.

When I’m in there making soft serve ice cream in the first stall, do not pee in the urinal directly next to me when there are 3 other free ones that don’t put us uncomfortably close to each other.

Not a sermon, just a thought.

Sad sad state of affairs in the environment these days.

For me it’s pictures like this that really drive home the need to do all we can for the environment. This is one in a series of photos about birds killed by toxicity or starvation from eating plastic bits floating in the ocean. It’s interesting to see that the plastic never dissolves even while being in the ocean, then in the birds stomachs, then out in the sun. When the birds decay and rot away all that will be left is the trash.

Every once in a while you see something truly new.

I was just blown away by this video. This guy uses birds to find thermals to ride in his para glider. The feeling must be awesome up there, riding the wind without the noise of an engine. I understand that paragliding and hang gliding have been around for a while. But there’s just something about riding along with the birds that makes it a little more awesome. Not to mention the fact that this guy rehabilitates and releases these birds that he flys with.
