How Did We Get Here?
Here’s a very succinct (and funny) look at the financial markets, the US sub-prime mess, how we got there, and how we can get out. Gotta love British humor. Enjoy.

Obie Loves the Sun Devils
This is my friend, Obie, having some fun at the wildcats’ expense when we found an abandoned U of A cap after ASU beat them on December 1st. Don’t worry…the Calvin impression he’s doing is all special effects…but gets the point across. Besides…this was a home game, and he wouldn’t defile Sun Devil Stadium like that.
Sorry for the small sized pics…but this was taken with my camera phone at night…lots of camera shake and a small sized photo to boot. I think the idea is clear, though.
GO DEVILS!
From the “Those Crazy Parrots” File
Snowball, a cockatoo, dances better than any bird I’ve seen. This isn’t your standard head bobbing, either. Check it out.
Funniest Dancing Bird Ever!!! – Funny video clips are a click away
I think this may be the original blog post.
I’m interested because of my own bird, Cosmo, who is a wild and crazy guy in his own way. Cosmo is a caique, a species well known for its antics and athleticism. Here is an old workout video from Cosmo to go along with the bird theme.
A New York Slice
Todd, after spending a decade and a half away from New York City, needs an authentic pizza pie and chooses a local favorite. No more intro is needed…although if you are a fan of the TV show, “The Office”, you may see some parallels to an episode. Enjoy.
Sticking it to the RIAA
So, the group Barenaked Ladies (BnL), whose music is very decent, are joining what seems to be a trend these days…self publishing albums. They’ve released their latest studio release album, “Barenaked Ladies Are Me”, for download on their website. Not very unique, right? Well, here is the kicker…there are two types of downloads…mp3 at 192kbs, or for a couple dollars more, lossless FLAC. Also, there is no DRM at all. Rumor has it that they are selling a lot of these while going around the RIAA, Apple, and the other Juggernauts in the DRM space. Here is the link to the shopping page to buy this album, and if you look around, you can even get a whole bunch of live performances, not just the studio releases, since they are recording their shows and making the tracks available. Great job, BnL! Don’t get me wrong…I’m all for protecting intellectual property, it’s just nice to see some of the content owners trust their fans a little bit, and give them a good consumer experience in the process.
And, for good measure, here is a fan-produced video for “Wind it Up”.
Mini Cooper Goodness
This is a great representation of what its like to drive a Mini. Don’t leave anything loose in the car…

This video from the Australian version of the game show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” says it all:
Wow…Funny Clearification
Check out http://www.clearification.com/. This is some funny stuff, in my opinion. I don’t even get the Vista tie-in at this point, but this guy is hilarious.
Here is the first webisode, but you gotta hit the site to hear the stand-up on the front page.
Is that really a sport?
After jabbering on for years about what is and what is not a sport (c’mon, guys, you know you think of this everytime you see figure skating), I realized that some of my friends also had similar opinions and thoughts on this subject. I came to the conclusion, with the help of some of my buddies, that there was a need to freely exchange ideas about the criteria for calling an activity a sport, as well as a repository for these criteria that were generally accepted and agreed upon (think Man-Law). That’s why I recently opened isthisasport.com.
