Posted today at Nova restaurant in San Francisco. They’ve gone and stomped on Sanctimony. Good for them.

This guy is HIGHLARIOUS. He appears on local morning news shows in smaller markets around the country pretending to be a yo-yo champion on tour of kid’s schools. But instead of showing off his skills – he has these ridiculous meltdowns, live on camera. Anyone who can pull this off is a brave man my friends.

The third video is priceless.
So apparently AG Constantin, the copyright holders of the film “Downfall,” have petitioned YouTube to take down all the “Downfall” memes on YouTube. Wha? That means my favorite of all times – the Burning Man version – is gone. Why the hell would they do that? With all the free press and exposure…oh wait…Hitler makes the case for you…
Met a lovely older gentleman this afternoon who was a writer for, amongst other shows, MacGyver.
And the answer to your question is: the writers cribbed all of MacGyver’s paper clip + chewing gum = C4 solutions from Boy Scout handbooks from around the world.
Footage of the 6.5 earthquake in Northern California taken at the Times-Standard newspaper office in Eureka, California. What’s amazing is the dog, Sophie. Moments before the earthquake, she sniffs the ground, then bolts like a bat out of hell. The office soon starts shaking like it’s on a jello mold and florescent bulbs explode. What have we learned? Florescent bulbs suck.
I’m moving to San Francisco, but my husband and I travel too much to get a dog. So far a Roomba is the closest thing we can get to a pet.
Nice. The Earth is 6,000 years old and she’s gunning to turn your state into a toxic waste dump for some cash.
I’m a big fan of the internet and the free exchange of ideas it fosters. And so I’m a supporter of net neutrality. Free Press is a passionate fighter for protecting the democratic rights of the internet and spends its time bullying politicians to do the right thing, rather than simply signing whatever legislation distribution giants like Time Warner and Comcast put in front of them.
Here’s a little something from their latest email detailing their outlook on mobile internet connectivity. Everyone who uses the Internet, or who works with making their brand more engaging on the Internet, or pursues the potential of the Internet, should care about this.
Free Press believes that everyone should be able to create an Internet radio or television station, an online newspaper or blog, or launch some other new form of popular media not yet known to us.
The potential for free expression over new media appears limitless. Soon, many people will be carrying their connection with them via pocket Internet devices that can gather and share content from the outside world, whether it’s coming from the streets of Tehran or the coffee shop around the corner.
If we’re successful, people around the world will be able to connect in ways and on a scale we’ve never imagined before. Our mission is to make certain that every one of these Internet connections is open, neutral, affordable and accessible — regardless of the device or network. If you agree, work with us to build a movement for open wireless media that’s free from the control of powerful companies and politicians.
Mobile phones are now in the hands of more than 270 million Americans. Each user cares about his or her freedom to communicate. And each of us has an important part to play in this fight.
We’re just at the beginning.
Thank you for spreading the word,
Timothy Karr

Today’s Hero Of The Day is split between two people. At a…uh….Marilyn Monroe look-alike contest held in Cincinnati last week. And that’s all I’m going to say about this.
