  • FROG FAIL! (From Today's Big Thing) See more funny videos and TBT Videos at Today's Big Thing. #
  • Heinz has a new ketchup packet design... What do you think of it? #
  • This weather sucks. The forecast for the weekend looks horrible. At this rate, seems like it'll be forever until I can get some flight hours scheduled. Grrr... #
  • Check out Friends of Literacy on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/user/friendsofliteracy. #
  • Haiti still needs our help. CNN's Impact Your World page has a comprehensive list of ways you can help Haiti relief efforts. The page lists many agencies and organizes the agencies based on what aid they are providing: basic needs, shelter, and medical aid. #
  • I'm with Coco. Are you? #
  • I've been watching Charlyne Yi's videos on YouTube for the past two days. If I were to be a stand-up comic, I would love to be like her (and other alternative comedy folks like Demetri Martin, Zack Galifianakis,, and some of the people from the Upright Citizens Brigade). She has a band with Paul Rust called "The Glass Beef," and I found this song on Funny Or Die. It's great. THE GLASS BEEF - Little Bird - watch more funny videos #
  • I watched "Home Alone" three times during the holiday. Here's a great spoof from UCB Comedy. #
  • “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” Paulo Coelho (Brazilian novelist). Quote via The Art of Non-Conformity. #
  • Anvil is playing in Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse on January 20. Tickets are only $16.50. Anyone want to go? (The Variety Playhouse is cool. I haven't been there since The Shins concert in 2005, and I'm looking for an excuse to head back.) #
