Giuliani’s 60/40

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

OK, I don’t normally like Michael Moore but I did enjoy this publicity stunt mocking former Mayor Giuliani. As much as I dislike Giuliani’s aggressive, uncompromising foreign policy, I do think he did a pretty good job cleaning up New York City. Those good deeds aside, I thought this video was hilarious.

Amazing Image Resizing Technology

August 25th, 2007 · No Comments

OK, this genuinely blows the mind. This is going to totally change newspaper editing and imaging forever. I don’t want to describe it, because it would take a long time and would be far more ineffective than simply showing you the video. But if you have any interest in graphic design and […]

“Pentagon Confirms It Sought to Build A ‘Gay Bomb’”

Vote the Record

June 22nd, 2007 · No Comments

This is taken from an article by Bruce Reed that came out yesterday.  I have bolded what I feel to be the best line about a Presidential candidate thus far.
Unlike most presidential candidates, who tend to embellish their hometown roots, Giuliani’s campaign depends on making Republican-primary voters forget every aspect of his past except 9/11. […]

Tasty Way to Teach Parliamentary Procedure

June 19th, 2007 · 1 Comment

So I have been at a leadership conference in Orange County, California for the last few days and thus unable to post.  I learned a great deal at the workshops I attended, but the one thing I wanted to share was a really neat way to teach parliamentary procedure.  You assemble all the ingredients necessary […]

June 11th, 2007 · No Comments

A Briton, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting of Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden. “Look at their reserve, their calm,” muses the Brit. “They must be British.”
“Nonsense,” the Frenchman disagrees. “They’re naked, and so beautiful. Clearly, they are French.”
“No way! They have no clothes and no shelter,” the […]
