Well, I’ve seen some pretty bad ass driving in my life, and I don’t think I’m all that bad myself – but here’s a guy who can take like a 10 ton piece of heavy equipment and rock it onto two wheels and drive back and forth!

I don’t know what they pay this guy to operate that thing while he’s working, but clearly he’s worth every penny!

First of all, before you even watch the video you should go to the Google Wave home page and request access. You’re going to have to wait in line, but like all other Google stuff, you know you’re gonna want it.

According to Google:

What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Now, I want you to watch the following video, and then think about the fact that this is free open-source software that Google will be releasing soon. If your business isn’t among the first to adopt this, you are going to be left behind – big time!

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a game, but this one was too good not to share!

Alright, alright… I know the description sounds terrible. But just look at that cute little blobby looking fellow! How could you not want to play this game? Tell you what, instead of thinking that you are playing with vomit, how about just thinking about it like it was jell-o?!? You are just kind of sucking the jell-o in and spitting it out. Pay no attention to the fact that you are using your “jello” as a propulsion system at times, or a swimming pool at others!

The Description

You’re born into this world a guinea pig before god. Unsure of his motives you progress through life solving his puzzles searching for meaning in the rudimentary problems of everyday life.

To make sense of life we must evolve past our previous forms, purge from our bodies the rules set in place by our previous selves in order to see the future with new eyes….

In other words Spewer is a game about puking.

Ok. Someone has got to try this and report back if it works! I’m not sure if this is a video trick, or if it really works, and I don’t have any frosted glass to try it on. But according to this guy, if you put some of that clear box tape on frosted glass, you can see right through it.

I really can’t believe this works, but the darn video is so convincing! So again, I’m putting a call out for anyone and everyone who has the ability to give this a try and report back if it works!

I don’t have a lot of information on this video’s background except that I believe the building in question is located in Poland. Of course, there is some speculation that the building is in Germany, becasue as everyone knows… Germans love David Hasselhoff!

Having said that, it’s amazing that they could choreograph so many lights to change colors and come on in these complex patterns. It must have cost a fortune just to put it on.

I happened to be at the capital building in Austin, Texas at just the right time in the afternoon to go around back and snap this shot of the sun hiding behind the dome. I love this photo because the flag was being blown by the wind and just the way the sun makes the building glow from behind.

Figured I’d share it in case anyone wanted it for a desktop wallpaper!

Please count the people below, wait for the picture to change then count them again. This is guaranteed to drive you crazy!

Where exactly did the extra guy come from?

While traveling to Chicago a while back I was in the airport with a buddy when he spotted the evening sun absolutely reflecting off the downtown skyscrapers. I barely had time to grab the camera and get a couple of shots before it went away. It was a very fleeting, yet powerfully captivating image.

You really need to click through to view a larger version of this in order to see the reflection. Have you ever seen anything like it?

It’s getting kind of hot here in Texas. Like it’s nearly 100 degrees already. So even though we’re used to the heat, we’ll all be whining about how hot is is really soon. And really, that’s fair. I mean people do occasionally die from heat exhaustion.

Then again, if you compare Texas heat to Antartic cold… we’ll, they’ve got us completely whipped! Here. See what I mean…

When I was in San Francisco for WordCamp this weekend Dave Curley and I went across the street from our hotel and snapped a few photos of the Bay Bridge. Thought I’d share a couple new ones to go along with the ones I posted previously. I hope you enjoy!

This first image was taken with a Canon 5D Mark II using a 28-135mm IS lens set at 30mm. ISO was 100 with an aperture of f/3.5 and an exposure of 15 seconds.

There is actually no reason whatsoever for this completely random post. Except that I thought I’d point out what a very small stack $20,000 worth of $100 bills looks like.

Seems like it should be a lot bigger stack, doesn’t it?

In light of the fact that shortly I’ll be boarding a plane to San Francisco to serve as the official videographer for WordCamp once again this weekend, I thought I’d share this fantastic airline video of the Rapping SouthWest flight attendant!

Unfortunatly, I’ll be riding courtesy of American Airlines, and there will be NO fun on our airplanes mister! Anyway, I’ll fantasizing about this guy when my stewardess is giving the whole boring lecture… Word.
