you should watch this all day

Watch new FLICKR photos posted in real-time geographically in this fascinating mash-up. Thanks to ''Crazy'' Carl for ruining my recent streak of doing 100% work during work this year.

Don't watch this. It's some kid trying to explain how to get AlienWare skins for free -- I think. You can *barely* understand what the heck he's saying.

I'm at Hollister in the Mall of America. My GFF is perusing the fine fashions of the San Diego beach set while I blog on the iPhone a few feet away. My right ankle is definitely twisted but not as injured as I feared. I'd call it a light sprain. I won't be doing any running for at least a week. I'm annoyed, but there's plenty of other similarly distressing cardio that I can do. Hmmm. I got an unexpected kudo at work today which was nice. I help out a lot of other divisions in my company. Let's just leave it at that. Ah the GFF is determining her final purchases. More to come.

twist and shout

I'm blogging and driving. Don't try this at home. It's frozen slick conditions outside. I didn't realize this until I slipped on the ice and twisted my right ankle. Ow. Ow. Ow. It's only been 10 minutes and I can tell this is not going to go over very well. I'll be back. Trying to drive and blog is hard... And maybe illegal.

nude sushi

I was taken aghast at the concept of Nyotaimori. That's the rare Japanese practice of eating sushi off of a naked woman's body. Nantaimori is the dude version. Shocking, yet not surprising given the liberal maturity of Minnesota's residents. My girlfriend Samantha informs me that a cast member from the reality television show THE SURREAL LIFE participated in this activity with MC Hammer and Corey Feldman abstaining. Why do I bring this up? There's a nyotaimori / nantaimori event being held at a local Minneapolis restaurant called Temple on March 8th at 7:30 P.M. Intrigued? The cost is a whopping $75.00 per person and includes sushi, sake and champagne. The real question that I have is -- how much of the $75 is for the sweat and body hair?
