The Zimbabwean Titanium Trillion Dollar Campaign

This comes by way of Dancin, and it's a very powerful short video documenting the tradegy of free speech befalling Zimbabwe due to the rule of Mugabe and one newspapers very creative way of fighting back.

Peurto Rico! (for work, boo)

So, here I find myself arrived in Puerto Rico for ten days of fun filled work activity (insert sarcasm). This is painful, being on such a beautiful island and being stuck inside a convention center the whole time. However, because the Foundation funding my salary has decided that the next grant shall be due during the same time I am in Puerto Rico I find myself sitting on this lovely balcony (belonging to the Boss' Suite) writing a grant proposal...can't be too angry yet.


Somehow blogger knows I am in Puerto Rico and has decided to switch over to Spanish. I'm hoping google is merely trying to be helpful and force me to learn a little Spanish...being the bad Mexican that I am my vocabulary is limited to: taquito, vino, cerveza, tequila, bano (usually in that order & none of which will do me much good in a work environment). Wish me luck...

Lego Silence of the Lambs

Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies, so when Dancin' came across this fantastic YouTube video he shared it with me...absolutely fantastic!

New Favorite Blogs

While reading an article in today's Washington Post, on the prevalence of cell phones in the homeless population (read the article, it makes sense), I was also alerted to the "Homeless Blog" if you will. Apparently, there are several Washington area bloggers who are homeless and so I took some time to read them...I am very intrigued. Turns out, Washington area homeless bloggers cover politics (local and federal); California homeless bloggers are a little more celebrity and like to cover the best way to avoid sunburn, where the best public restrooms are. I encourage people to check these out:
On the Clock with Eric Sheptock
Better Believe Steve
Happy Reading!

Obama Fingers?

Hmmm, while perusing the Drudge Report today I came across an interesting article about German Fried Chicken. (click image for news article)
While companies are going cutting staff to save money in this especially nasty recession, I fear that this company may have made a mistake in not investing in the necessary research to gauge how this would play out amongst Americans.

Been a long time friend...

I was reminded today, by Sister Disco, that many of the U St bloggers have been lax in their updates. I have no good excuse, sometimes I blame the sprint picture mail problem for hindering my ability to efficiently mobile blog, but really I've just been lazy.

Since my last post, I have attempted to tone down the frequency of my weekday drinking (causes all kinds of different headaches). But the reality is that I have little willpower, so I have begun taking advantage of the vacation time I have accrued and identify weekdays which I believe may lead to excessive alcohol consumption...Rita Jean's birthday gave me the first opportunity to try this new plan of attach. Marvelous! Much nursing of a hang-over occurred in my personal day taken explicitly for the recovery of the birthday festivities. So, this week I am taking it a step further...in anticipating of Dancin's birthday (which horribly, but also conveniently falls on St. Patrick's Day) I will be taking of the day of and the day after. This will better facilitate day drinking!

So, Early Happy Birthday Dancin! ('cause i'm not sure i'll remember to do this for you tomorrow). See you at Duffy's, everyone!

NEVER visit this bakery...

Hopefully, this man will be out of business by the end of the day. There are no words to describe how terrible this man is, please pass this along to any and all you know.
