Here is Dave Carroll, who after watching baggage handlers wreck his guitar and not getting United Airlines to fix it, wrote a song about it and made a video:

Cecie and I were in the park listening to Duran Duran play a concert. She liked them too.

Here is a cool talk by the principal researcher at nokia about human behavior in regards to what we carry around with us.

One of the more useful parts of getting a gut is that now I always have a place for my drink.

"You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour and I will have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders..."

There are sometimes when this former Minnesotan misses Jesse Ventura.



OK, OK... Running Man had Arnold and Jesse in it too.

We went up to Copper Moon to trade baby cuddles for llama poo. While we were there we introduced Cecie to the Llamas. The llamas were very curious about her...

Almost makes me want to work for Google...

Cecie looks like an angel when she sleeps.

I remember as a kid thinking that the intro to this show was full of awesome technology. Now it looks a little more dated, it is still fun to watch for nostalgia's sake.

Normally I am not a big fan of mash-ups, but once in a while one is really well done. I think that this is one of those examples:

I went to see the rescheduled solstice fire celebration at Seattle Center last night. It was really fun to see all of the different fire groups do their performances. Some groups were very well choreographed like Open Flame Dance Theatre and Spinergy. Some groups were more along the lines of play loud music and goof around doing cool tricks, like Ignition and Pyro Sutra. Both types were fun to watch and the Fire Art Installations were really cool too.

So we went ice skating at the park in downtown bellevue today. It was fun, I hadn't skated for about 7 years. Eli enjoyed the hot chocolate and stomping through slush with blot.

Here is a video of me and stef on the ice:

The amazing blot gave me dreads for my birfday. Awesome! This is after they were washed so I think they will turn out great.
