"Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."
- Abraham Lincoln
This was a hard week. In the past couple of years all of the school shootings which have happened across the country have all been terrible tragedies--but for our sake, or at least mine; they have been fairly abstract events because of their proximity. This past Thursday changed that, and at the same time changed the lives of thousands of other people. It is tough to find words to console those most affected by the tragic events of last week, but that is perfect. When someone is grieving the loss of a friend they don't always need a pep talk or timely advice. All they really want is a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen and be patient, maybe even someone to yell at for awhile. Be that person if you can be, and time will take care of everything else.
I love PB&J and so does the environment. Eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead of going out to lunch will slow global warming, save water, and conserve land. If you don't buy it, the guys over at the PB&J Campaign have the stats to back it up.You heard what?, This blog was set up for all of those times when you heard people say funny things--whether out of context or not. If there is nobody around that you know, just rush to the nearest computer and share your eavesdropping with the rest of us.
Dear Mom, click here. The Eggcorn Database is a website for all of the people who read the previous sentence and thought to themselves that I probably meant "ease dropping" -- which I didn't. The web site's namesake was a slip up by Mark Liberman where he said "Eggcorn" in place of "acorn", it wasn't long before Eggcorn became the official name for these kind of mistakes.
Scube Car, This is so cool. A little pricey and definitely impractical...and it does make those window breaker key chains obsolete...but still awesome.
The Titanic Conspiracy, is hilarious. The video pokes fun at all of the 9/11 conspiracy videos on the internet, and best of all it comes from one of my favorite websites one the internet. I first heard about Maddox back in high school, and have been laughing at his stuff ever since.
Making a Valentine's Day card out of a little over 3000 1x1 Legos. Thanks to Brian at BrickWorkz.com for helping me track down all of the colors of Legos that I needed for my design.
Until Next time,
