Going Back : The Fine Wine Of Our Lives

You know I really enjoy going back over so many of these words I've written; particularly my creative writing. Yeah, I know, it sounds like I'm tooting my own horn but I'm not. I read these things... these poems, stories and thoughts and they bring me back; not to the past but to who I really am and get so lost from (seemingly more and more). I think this kind of thing defines the fine wine of our lives. Those memories and reminders that always last and continue to call us, making and keeping us... for the better (As "Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls finishes in the background and "Dig" by Incubus begins; thank God...) :-) -JK

Strength In Numbers : Flee The Border Patrol

All,

This is just flat out hilarious. A dash camera capture of (what I presume are) Border Patrol agents that have stopped a minivan in attempt to either question or arrest what they believe to be illegals. The soundtrack pretty much makes the whole video :-) -JK

Friggin Awesome : Lightening In A Box

All,

Ok, so I'm not so tired that I don't find the below video really cool. Description: "A Lichtenberg figure being created by a tap from a nail. In just a few hundred nanoseconds, electrons trapped in plastic exit suddenly as a bright, branching lightning spark." I want one! -JK

Yawn : Updates and the New Business

All,

Sorry, nothing much here to see. I've been focused on logos and other material for 47 Images and 47 Enterprises and I'm pretty tired :-) Stop by 47i and let me know what you think. - JK

Help? : The Margin Is Mocking Me

All,

Take a look at the image to the side and notice the margin below the image that makes it not line up with the text here. I can't figure out how to make ALL of my images in Blogger NOT do this. There is a style command in the image line but I've tried working with all of the numbers in that line and I still get that funky gap whereas I'd like the margin on the side and bottom to always be equal to one another. Any ideas? -JK

Blogging : Get That Blog "Buzz" Going

All,

I saw this article on the front page of Information Week which I typically review in the morning when I get to work. These are good, solid tips for blogging and being a part of the blogging world at large (even if uber fame is not what you seek). It was written by Cory Doctorow (doctorow@craphound.com) who is best know for famous blog, Boing Boing (http://www.boingboing.net/). Enjoy and blog on. [ image credit; Stephen Chasey ] -JK

God Bless The Creative : Superfriends Meets Friends

All,

It is the creation of humor and the need for those to spread it that truly enlightens us all. I believe that when we can laugh at anything and everything we can not only come together unexpectedly but also dispel the very worst and darkest parts of our greatest ideas and desires to make the world what we think it should be. -JK

What I've Learned : Hidden Wisdom?

All,

Most of these make a great read (Robert Dinero and Homer Simpson in particular are two of my favorites). These are some great one line returns in candid interviews with a number of famous people by Esquire Magazine. Enjoy. -JK

Power Thirst : Gratuitous Amounts of Energy!

All,

This is hilarious. A great pun on the hundreds of energy drinks available that pretty much screw up your metabolism. Below is part one. If you wish to see the sequel, which is even funnier, it's linked just below this post :-) Thanks to the Maestro for this. -JK
