Surfing 5 Miles...

Surfing in Alaska is cold. It wouldn't be quite as cold if one could ride a stand up paddle board like the guys in this article... Looks amazing. I'd love to do this at some point in the future - maybe in a warmer climate though. However, if it had to be in Alaska, I'd do it.

We Can Be Better

There was a speech last night apparently. Our leader told us all we need to play it cool, to chill out and 'be better'. We can be better, but only if we have jobs and ways to manufacture things, etc... its tough for some Americans right now. There's talk on the radio about a depression in the housing market. Uh, yeah, that's been going on for a while now. If you're in Florida, you'd have guessed the real estate market has been in the crapper for about 2 years now. But 'they' also say we're "coming out of it". Sure.

Anyway, here's a link to the speech from last night. I don't really put myself on either side of the political fence... I like to sit in the middle and watch the people argue back and forth.

Chris Matthews doesn't like Mark Levin or Michael Savage

Apparently, Chris Matthews doesn't like Mark Levin or Michael Savage. I think its because those guys are getting more traction out of their aggravated antics than the wee-man Matthews. Either way, they're all out using the latest tragedy to spew their own brand of hate which of course is focused solely to get ratings. Ridiculous.

And after all that's said, there's another report now that sales of handguns have gone through the roof in AZ. Here's the article:

Independent? Who cares???

Who cares if this guy's a democrat, republican or independent? Of course he's independent, he's NUTS! Why is there such a big media storm about this guy. The coverage should all be focused on the people who this guy's misdeeds are affecting and how to help the families along, not whether this guy was an independent, a satanist or abortionist. Who cares?

My Time-Lapse Drawing Video...

Here's a quick video of a time lapse version video I taped while drawing one day. Back in the day, I used to have a tv show and would do all sorts of cool time-lapse type video work. It was a lot of fun. Figured that this would be a fun project to get my video skills back in gear.

Tom DeLay will serve 3 years - IN JAIL

Interesting story...
Tom DeLay, once mighty congressman from Texas, will now be spending time in prison because of some sort of money laundering issue. So, yeah, another politician bites the dust.

AMAZING giant cave in VietNam / National Geo!

This is truly amazing.
Check out these massive caves in VietNam! They're so huge that apparently a 40 story building could fit in some, others have actual jungles growing inside. A river that has carved one entrance is often nearly dry but during the wet season the water level can reach 300 feet!

This all has been documented by National Geographic.
Here's the link!
