A call for simplicity

Another great talk from TED. I love the opening slide that asks why we can run a country with a 16 page document, but the health care bill requires thousands of pages. I'm all for simplifying and clarity in all our documents. Check it:

Too Many Options

Am I the only one that is trying to figure out when it is best to tweet, buzz, status, blog, text, forward, share, or digg something? There are a lot of good choices, but it is almost getting to the point of work to try and figure out what medium I will use to pass along info. I think I'm hoping for one app to rule them all. Also, has anybody figured out a good use for Wave?

Guess who showed up at my house?

I found this a little while ago at my parents' house. My nephew was checking out the old toys, so I started digging through some of it. This is one of the best finds . . .

He still looks pretty tough.

Crisis of Conformity

I don't know why I am sharing nothing but videos lately, but I loved this SNL sketch. Dave Grohl came in and drummed his arms off. I don't know if the song itself (Fistfight in the Parking Lot) was a cover or not, but it had powerful references to Reagan, Happy Meals and Alexander Haig. Not to mention a Suicidal Tendencies type breakdown. It was enough to make me want to go look for my old skateboard . . . except that I think it's broken. Enjoy.

This Guy Makes Sense

Today I watched a clip from the Daily Show and this fellow, David Walker - former controller general of the US, made a whole lot of sense. He talks about why we are in the financial mess we are in AND how it is the career politicians that are screwing everything up. Word. Worth checking out. I'm really interested in reading his book and added it to my Amazon wishlist.
