i like obama

These guys are called Bop Du Fway. The background is some pretty great jazz. The spoken word + singing is generally pretty funny, even though the entire experience is a little weird. I do wish I would have recorded his little pre-song speech about endorsing a candidate, and how he used to actually like McCain. The chorus parts are cheesy, but the verses are good. Captured at ComFest 2008.

wow.

This is an article about a Solar/Hydrogen powered househould. Built by a civil engineer with his own time and mostly his own money (although several grants were involved). It gives me hope for alternative fuel sources - but it also makes me sad that we're still so far away from these ideas being the "norm".

waiting...

I'm waiting on STB so we can head out to one of our favorite parks & enjoy an evening of grilling food and hanging out.

I thought I'd post a few updates...

On the biking thing.... I've put just under 80 miles on my bike in the span of about 1 month. My longest ride was probably about 5 or 6 miles - so that's lots & lots of little rides. It also means that I reduced the mileage on my car by ~80 miles. Yay!

Only very minor updates on the music stuff... Brazen Brass will be performing @ the Clintonville Farmer's Market on Saturday, June 21. Ain't Misbehavin' has a private party gig this Saturday.

On job stuff...ugh, I'm so ready for a new job. But am still being choosy over where I apply. I've added to my criteria that it must be within biking distance of my residence. So my options are even more limited. I have a list of jobs to look through, just need to find the time to do that & then apply.
