Finding Polson on the Internets [Hometown]
Dec 16, 2008 Humor, life Comments
So I found this image on a random site and realized I had seen it before. This sign is in my hometown of Polson, Montana. Personally I think it was put up by Bob at Three Dog Down; it seems like his humor.
Since my parents moved I haven’t had many reasons to visit. It was nice to have a little reminder of Polson.
Jack Black Video Game
Alright, so the title of the post is misleading. Brutal Legend isn’t a game about Jack Black, but he does the voice of the main character. Close enough.
I’d probably enjoy the game just for Jack’s commentary, but the trailer makes the games seem pretty good.
Validation [Video]
Validation is a short video starring TJ Thyne & Vicki Davis.
Although there are some lines that feel less than realistic, there is an underlining principle in this film that rings true. Love, a positive attitude, and optimism are high valued commodities, and can spread.
I have a personal project that I’m working on to try to help spread this sort of feeling.
Anyway, enjoy.

This week on DekePod Deke mentions doing high quality work for family. It is an interesting problem I’ve been faced with a few times. His solution – fake it.
I heart Deke.

Pretty good pen spinning at the beginning, but the end is pretty funny.
I Met the Walrus
Dec 9, 2008 Design, Video Comments
Very cool interview of John Lennon done by a 14 year old boy. More impressive to me is the artwork in this video. Oddly enough it was done by James Braithwaite – no direct relation, but obviously some level of awesomeness comes with the name.
This is Why I Need Lego Mindstorms [Video]
Dec 9, 2008 Technology Comments
I have wanted an excuse to get the Lego Mindstorms NXT set for awhile. Now I have one. To keep my jar of marbles safe – or are they jelly beans? Either way I’d eat them.

Web Designer Wall Top 50
Dec 5, 2008 Creative, Web Development Comments
I love Web Designer Wall; it is a great place to see some good site design.
Today they released the Best of CSS Design 2008. It contains some amazing sites. I spent a good bit going through them and bookmarking a lot for future reference.
Interestingly enough they also picked a site that was recently released by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church). The site is specifically designed to focus on the life and ministry of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Being LDS myself I did a bit of a double take when I saw it. Something like worlds colliding, but congratulations to whoever designed it. Looks good.
