My parents celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary today. I am very happy because without this day all those years ago, I would not be around. But most importantly, Mom and Dad, you’re wonderful friends, patient teachers, kind and generous parents. I love you very much.

The iconic Dylan film of “Subterranean Homesick Blues” is turned on its head for the introduction of Google Instant. The new Google search looks like a game changing step to me. I’m amazed by its speed.

The more I listen to this the cooler it gets. The original news report that was the source for this mashup can be seen here. It amazes me how liberating it is to use media like a news report and turn it into a song (that’s for sale on iTunes!) and a video.

All I can say is that must be justice in this life after all.

Broadway taken over by the web. Best Internet meme all week. ROTFLMAO. [Tip o' de hat to Terry H.]

In the future we’ll have bigger screens everywhere so we can read Fail Blog while we brush our teeth. Actually, pretty cool stuff. [Thanks to The J-Walk Blog.]

A fresh take on how to integrate sport with technology.

This is just such a perfect Internet meme. Who doesn’t love all three things: Ping pong, nunchucks and Bruce Lee?

Glen Beck’s hoedown (”Restoring Honor”; has it gone somewhere?) at the Lincoln Memorial this weekend puts me in mind of this film from the 50s. It’s a good lesson in the need for equality and how we all must work for it. Mr. Beck demonizes so many people to be “the” problem while right-thinking Americans are like him. He is with a doubt sincere however I think he’s a pawn of bigger interests.

Take for instance the chilling article on the Koch brothers and their decades long right-wing campaign in this week’s New Yorker (Covert Operations: The billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama). The story tells how these billionaires have been systematically buying influence with astro-turf (fake grass roots) groups to further their own ideological agenda. Definitely worth reading.
