Updates are in the Twitter app to the right - I'm on vacation having a wonderful time and will try to upload a picture a day. =)

Saturday 2009 - Edition 10

Going to be a couple great weeks. This quarter of school is almost over and my spring break is already planned out: Anne and I are going to be heading over to Spokane for a wedding, then down to Sunriver for a week. I just ordered a new camera that I have been drooling over for months, so I'm sure you're going to be seeing (hopefully) some very nice pictures (and videos!) here shortly.

I'm no Vincent Laforet, but hopefully I can make something remotely interesting.

I've decided to start watching all the episodes of the west wing (probably over the next year+ as I don't have a lot of free time). Always heard great reviews; this was one clip Doug sent me just the other day.




"My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment"
-Albert Einstein in a letter to M. Berkowitz, October 25, 1950


And on a less serious note, I hope to someday have as much fun as these guys are:

Saturday 2009 - Edition 9

I apologize for the brevity of the blogs the last couple weeks. I am in the middle of a fairly wordy marketing project, and I'm afraid it is consuming just about all my big words.

"Everything is Amazing, Nobody is Happy". If you're not able to watch hulu videos (my Canadian friends), just hop over to youtube and search up this clip from the Conan show. I have to thank Uncle Steven for mentioning it to me as we plotted the destruction of his brother on Facebook. I know that sounds cruel (and nerdy), but when someone starts throwing around Marxist quotes when talking about income tax, he's just asking to be made fun of.

Anyways, the clip. Its great. Watch it



An interesting NPR Story (seriously). I really liked the part when the girl talks about how its refreshing to write on a typewriter when trying to be creative. No spell check, no internet messages. It does sound refreshing sometimes. The story also features a woman that has been using a typewriter for nearly 90 years now.
A great 7 minute story about typewriters If you have a second (well, 438 of them), take a listen.
