Inflatable Castle

How long does something last? When will everything about us be dust? Forgotten? The original Declaration of Independence is deteriorating. The pyramids are slowly returning to the desert.

We could all attempt to build more permanent structures but what's the use? The home I live in is 100 years old this year. That's a long time but not for a house built in Massachusets. They've got some dwellings that date back to our country's birth. Still those New England cottages got nothing on those in England. What about Stonehenge?

It seems everything we construct these days or less permanent and more fragile.

I Froze My Butt Today

Yes. Literally. I froze my butt today. No, I didn't get frost bite but I did have ice form on my rear end at about 80 minutes into my long run. Took a good 15 minutes to get the feeling back after I got home.

There was nobody out. Not surprising. Kinda eerie though. During my run I kept searching the landscape for an open business. If I got hurt I'd have had to of gotten inside right away or some serious damage could have been done to my person.

I just heard on the news that some winter sports event was cancelled today because of the cold and low windchill. Still, I did see two other runners during my run. I also saw hockey players and some broomball players.

Want Camera

The Little Bun from a year ago. I had just purchased and hacked my first CVS camera. Thirty dollars is the perfect price point for a cam to give to a 2 year old.

This is the Bun's first video. I love the gleeful abandon he shows by swinging the camera around wildly and squeeling

Why * ∞ = ?

Watch the Video

Hooray! Nap time is back.

That's how I was able to create today's latest edition. I'm pushing the outter limits to what a $75 complete editing system will yield. More on that later.

The Little Bun is all about questions these days. I thought about filming the follwing scenario during my 75 minute run yesterday. He has ∞ questions to ask.

Today I've got a 45 minute run ahead of me but no batteries. That's a trip to the store and gym with the Bun. I did promise him we'd do whatever he wanted to do today. Small consolation since I've been taking him all over South Minneapolis lately previewing potential preschools for him.

S.C.A.A.S.A. Happy Birthday Song

Screw Corporate America Attribution Share Alike Happy Birthday Song



After watching "The Corporation" I learned that the traditional "Happy Birthday" song is corporately owned. If anyone wants to use that song in their movie or program, they have to pay a fee. Seriously.

I have decided to create a new Happy Birthday song. One that is free for anyone to use, commercially, publicly or otherwise. Spread the word. This could catch on. A song like Happy Bithday belongs to everyone.

Today was a 75 minute run at the gym. It was interesting to see all the people come and go. Some stayed for a while. Others only made it around the track a couple of times. They were there on their lunch breaks I assume. This is what 75 minutes looks like.
