I’ve enjoyed some songs by OK Go, but I love this music video, especially since I love Rube Goldberg machines. Awesome.

Alrighty then…
Opening Ceremony at the Olympics - Lip Syncing · Friday February 12, 2010
Why do performers have to lip sync all the songs? I would much rather listen to someone singing live, then watching someone lip syncing. Bryan Adams wasn’t even close at the begin of the song (his mic was at his waist when he “started singing”). Oh well… Huzzah for Olympics! I’m glad they are on!
Kylen on David & Goliath · Monday January 25, 2010
Casey put the little guy to bed tonight and they read the story of David & Goliath for his bedtime story. Kylen’s choice. After the story, as Casey was tucking him in, the following conversation ensued:
Kylen: Pray that I won’t be scared if someone comes in my room tonight.
Casey: What do you mean?
Kylen: Like if Goliath comes in my room…
Casey: You don’t need to worry about Goliath coming in your room, he lived a long time ago and he isn’t alive any more. Besides, Mom and Dad will protect you; you don’t have to worry about anyone coming in your room.
Kylen: When we’re dead, will we see Goliath?
Casey: I don’t think we’ll see Goliath.
Kylen: Will I see David, the little boy?
Casey: Yeah, you’ll probably see David.
Kylen smiling: I’ll give him a big hug.
Really? Really Stupid White People? · Wednesday January 20, 2010
Just when you think you’ve heard the dumbest idea, someone comes out with another. The AABA (All-American Basketball Association) thought it would start its inaugural season in June of this year. What’s the requirement to play in the league? “Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.” Oh, is that all?
Thank you dumb white people for helping the cause to defeat racism.
Link the the Augusta Chronicle, who is covering the story.
I love video games · Saturday January 16, 2010
I flipped on the TV today as we were getting lunch together, after getting back from Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens (thanks Matt!) and some winter X-Games type competition was on. Skiers were free-styling in a half pipe and Kylen was watching it with me. He thought is was pretty cool that they were spinning, turning, and flipping so much.
“What do you think of this, buddy?”
“Good.” (Good is Kylen’s go-to response for the previous question.) “Let’s make him go faster!” Kylen then proceeded to open up the cabinet below the television, find my Xbox controller, and mash buttons while twirling the stick in hopes to affect the skier.
I did my best to explain this wasn’t a game, but I think he was enjoying his attempts too much.
