Times of financial crisis
I am posting this video so I can look back at this one day and remember that I survived a financial disaster. Crazy times and here is an explanation of how we got into this mess.
The morning paper.
I am old enough to remember having the newspaper delivered to my house and young enough to have my Google Reader replace my morning paper. The way the public consumes information has drastically changed and the newspaper and print industries have had to make some major adjustment. Here is an interesting and funny video from 1981 of the conception of the online newspaper.
the gas industry blows
Things have gone to shit recently with the economy. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. Its pretty scary actually and now that I have real bills to pay and loans out there I am happy to have a job. I pray for change in this election!
So this post is a big FU to the gas industry. They are one of the only people to be profiting in these times and a big cause of our misfortune.
Gas truth in advertising.
The lost art of the Yo Yo
My generation has seen some interesting times. Technologies made some leaps and bounds in our lifetime. We’ve seen computers evolve and become part of our everyday lives. For the most part this has been a good thing; well, at least for me because its what I do. But there have been simple non electrical toys I miss from my childhood. Toys that I fear may become obsolete before my grandkids generation. The Yo Yo is a great example. Who plays with Yo Yo’s anymore. They have been replaced with iPods and Gameboys. Just came across this cool video of a kid with mad Yo Yo skills. God bless him for kicking it old school.
