Photo Vault: Saturday in the Park- A Preview to Summer

Daily Coop: Busabout, Narrative Map, Friendfeeder

Just found a National Geographic blog post on Busabout Europe: Independent Flexible Travel; this is how I traveled Europe during the summer of 2001. For anyone wanting structured freedom while backpacking through Western Europe, Busabout loops are the way to go. Email me if you have any questions or need advice.

This could stick.

Nice feed aggregation tool: Friendfeeder ...

Daily Coop: Favs, Tired, Lucky

What are Obama's favorite movies? Interesting.

I'm tired after a long night of live blogging the debate. Can you say President Obama? Get use to it.

You know you've got the neatest of all wives when she will hang out and watch, not only the entire debate with you, but also all the pre-hype and post-analysis :)

Daily Coop: Film Vault Addition, Best Moments, Bourne

A friendly reminder to add You Can Count on Me to your to-see film vault: you're welcome.

I called this months ago: Falling Slowly wins the Oscar: best moment of the night (along with this)!! To sing it this well in front of so many people, in such an insane setting, is just flat-out awesome.

Bourne 4 announced...

Film Vault: No End in Sight

I just watched No End in Sight on-demand from Netflix: incredible, absolutely incredible. Prediction: Charles Ferguson will win the Oscar tomorrow, beating out Michael Moore. Anyone who has Netflix now, watch it tonight. You won't regret the committed time to such an important film.

Trailer

On a side note: I must say the unlimited online viewing from Netlfix is, once again, game-changing. I was one of Netlfix' first customers; their business models continue to be innovative and impressive; I have very much enjoyed watching the Blockbusterites drown in their eventual pool of bankruptcy. I am already laughing at my future children's confusion over the idea of a brick-and-mortar video store.

Daily Coop: Loser, Rice, Billion, Simple

Seattle Times article that clearly explains why HRC is losing...

Are you good at vocab? If so, donate some rice...

Sometimes we lose $1.2 billion dollars in an instant...

Daily Coop: Protection, Fence, Netflix, Travel

There is no excuse--in this day and age, in this country, with our resources--that something like this should happen. Obama needs to be protected. Time also just published this article.

What have I been pushing for since the border debate heated up a few months ago? a virtual fence.

Joined Netflix again. First up this weekend: Gone Baby Gone.

We just finalized our trip to Spain and Paris! Is it May yet? Yes, please. We're scouring the Net to find a place to stay in Paris; suggestions are more than welcome. Great. Be ready to be bombarded with mass amounts of Paris-randomness.

Daily Coop: Guns, Chem, Avatar

Map layout of which states allow guns on campus and which states have failed/pending legislation. Utah is the only state that allows guns on all campuses.

Enter my 2008 San Fran Giants: scrappy, little ball, speed, defense, pitching, chemistry.

Avatar update: groundbreaking movie-making

Daily Coop: Semicolon, Mckellen, Prank

A "pretentious anachronism": my favorite article of the week.

A fantastic effort and idea: one of our best actors, on digital display (thanks Ry).

In pursuit of clubhouse unity: the tradition of prank in baseball.

Video Vault: "Don't tell me they're just words...

Last night's response to HRC regarding her new Obama-attack strategy (I wish the video quality was better):
