Tumbleweed vortex video
December 26th, 2008
Comments will not do this video justice. Its simply stunning to see such a large and slow vortex having its way with these tumbleweeds.

Coincidences are great! When Lisa Jack was an aspiring photographer building her portfolio, she asked Obama to pose for her. She took a whole roll but had forgotten about the negatives until recently. She decided to hold on to the pictures until after the election and were just published in Time just a short time ago.
To be honest, I’m not sure what to make of this…
It appears to be a Japanese game show… Yes, I know, this is where the logic should stop… Where people get points for putting the most treats on dogs while the dogs hold still until commanded to go on a snack attack.
First, I’m glad Wes Welker made that snow angel, even if it cost the team 15 yards. Here, let’s relish in that image once more!
Second, this might be the blog to end all blogs: Cute Things Falling Asleep
I mean really. How can we compete with this?
Ladies, please sit down. I have some news to share.
If facebook is to be believed, MikeD is no longer single. Is he in a relationship? Who knows! This is wild!

I just ran across a great list of Project Management lingo via kottke, which has a bunch of randomly great Lumbergh-type sayings, some that I’ve heard before and some that I haven’t but will start using…
Heard before: “Crunch mode”, “Death March”, “Heroics”, “Setup for failure” and “Tiger team”
Never heard before (but you bet I’ll gonna drop on someone): “Clue bat”, “Happy Status”, “Open Kimono” and “Then a miracle occurs”
For some reason, this cat named Maru, likes to run into and through boxes. Sometimes, they are big enough for him to fit and sometimes.. they’re not.
I watched this and thought, why does this seem familiar?
Then I remembered the Schenk-Mattress experiment.
If you feel like you need a little more umph in your day, this is a concentrated-motivational-speech-video-montage!
This commercial for the 1984 Corvette is gold!
Apparently, it is the most advanced production vehicle because it has a liquid crystal display that updates SIXTY times every operating second and an available Delco stereo with 4 speakers!
Seriously. I’m taking my Mini back right this second!
In case you haven’t heard, Bush 43 took a surprise trip to Iraq this weekend and was met with a surprise of his own! An Iraqi tv journalist threw his shoes at him instead of asking a question!
Check out this extreme action shot!
As he threw the shoes, he exclaimed: “This is a gift from the Iraqis! This is the farewell kiss you dog!”
Bush replied, “It does not bother me. If you want the facts, it was a size 10 shoe.”
The description doesn’t even do it justice, just watch the video of the attack.
