Clearing house
::sniiiiiiiiiiiifff:: Ah, I love the smell of football in the morning!! It’s just preseason, but still. I’ve got a fantasy draft in only a week! Ironically I still haven’t received my winnings from my league last year. Damn you Dave Brown!
I’m going to take this opportunity to share a ton of links:
You have to go watch this video of the “Time Fountain”. It’s a really simple concept, but it looks way cool. Basically drops of water fall and you can adjust the speed of the strobe lights such that the drop of water looks like it’s falling in slow motion or even falling up! Watch the video, it will make sense.
So Heinz is letting you order custom ketchup bottles now. I have no idea what I’d put on a label, but it seems like an opportunity for hilarity to ensue. I don’t know if I want to eat ketchup any other way. Too bad Alexis and Jen are both already married, this strikes me as the perfect Pittsburgh wedding favor!
Do you ever get tired of playing boring ‘ole Rock/Paper/Scissors? Why not spice it up a bit? This version has 25 total symbols, including Nuke, Alien, Cockroach and Dragon. Here is a cheat sheet to explain how the whole thing goes together. I would think you would need it, it seems so complicated that I don’t know how anybody could effectively play it, although it may add a bit more strategy to the whole thing.
I’m sure we’ve all seen cool illusions like this before, but they never cease to amaze me.
Okay, I probably came across Zombo Com about 4 years ago, but it still remains one of my favorite websites. I can’t believe I’ve never shared it on here before, or maybe I have and I just couldn’t find it. I’m fairly certain that they could pretty much get me to do whatever they want, it’s so hypnotizing! “Welcome to Zombo Com! WELcom to ZOMBO COM!”
Speaking of hypnotizing things that I can’t stop watching, how about Slow Batman, another fine webpage from “you’re the man now dog”.com. After listening to it for awhile, check out the web address….you have to admit there has never been a more aptly named webpage.
Finally, I will leave you with these fine instructions on how to turn a tee-shirt into a sweet ninja mask!

Sara and I are going to try to lose 10 lbs. each before Casey’s wedding in October. I could stand to lose some weight and also I think I will feel better in general if I do some modicum of exercise. I ran on the treadmill tonight for the first time in like 5 months. So, as of this morning, here are my vitals:
Weight: 219.6 lbs.
Upper arm 36 cm
Forearm 29.8 cm
Thigh 67.6 cm
Calf 39.0 cm
Chest 113.7 cm
Waist 100.6 cm
Low waist 105.8 cm
Hips 114.3 cm
I also took some “before” pictures, but I’ll spare you from those. ::shudder:: I’m probably not going to go all out like I have in the past for weight loss ventures, but I do fully intend to do whatever it takes to get to the goal.

So we went over the weekend to see Jeremy and Jamie get married on Mackinac Island. It was a really great trip. We had a really good time! Our hotel was great, we went hiking, we rented bikes and rode around the outside of the island (it’s only 8 miles around), we went on a dinner cruise and we had some fun with some Irish singers and a pub. It was great seeing all the guys again, especially since Rupley leaves for Colorado on Wed. and Casey leaves for Texas on Friday. Talk about the old group breaking up…I think only Dan, Rody and Schafer will be left in Fort Wayne.
And finally…Oregon Trail. (Didn’t work in Firefox for some reason)
Chuck Norris Bridge
Okay, this is too funny! Basically they were trying to name a bridge and they opened it up to Internet polling and so far “Chuck Norris Bridge” is the leading candidate.
So glad I found this again
Okay, I saw this in an Animal Psychology class. You have to watch it all the way to the end. Birds are amazing!
