Take that, real news

The Colbert Bump is Real. I have to assume that the guy who designed this study is awesome, and somehow I have a feeling we'll be seeing him on a comedy news show someday soon... maybe that one that comes on after Jon Stewart.

A Monday Gallery of Randomness

Well, here are a handful of fun things to start off the week... also, I titled this a Monday post, but looking at the time it we have officially skidded into Tuesday. Oops!

Here's some fun for your April:

Go to Barack Obama Is Your New Bicycle, and click on the text, then click again, then again... revel in the wonder of randomness. So fun, so random. This has got to be the most simple and fun website I've been sent in awhile (thanks Corinne!)

Fun thing about snipers, not only do they inspire cool movies, carry and occasionally use impressive weapons, and have important jobs like protecting oh... Presidents and the like. They also get to poop on rooftops.

Finally, this is less fun, unless you put it in the category of fun and inspiring things that make you consider what's possible. Turns out, if you're voting in Italy's upcoming senate campaigns you can choose from 14 political parties. Now, if you ever feel like 2 isn't quite enough... you know, we could do things differently. Check it out. One thing I like about the post I just linked to is that it talks about some ways that choice doesn't fix everything. Food for thought.

Need to Clean Up


Old Mess, originally uploaded by Chambo25.

Wow... life has been flying along lately... weeks pass, time flies, and I have to be honest, I can't really complain.

That said, I have been noticing lately that the superfast pace leads to more and more and more clutter until someday soon I'll eventually just have to go back into cleanup mode. That's ok.

Until then, I've been happily buzzing along. This weekend I was up in Boston, for a fun and all-too-brief visit (but aren't they all?). This coming weekend I don't know if I'll lay low in New Haven or hatch some other plan... but we'll see. Meanwhile, I need to finish taxes, find local doctors (overdue on that task) and generally do some... tidying... wait! That's where I started.

Baaaaahhhh... well, anyway, above is a fun picture of a paint mess long dried... another fun snippit from my recent trip to DC.
