Okay. I’ll admit it. I’m jealous. [via kottke]
Miniature2008 October 8 by Daddy
This video was shot with a tilt-shift lens, creating an effect that causes the action to look like a scale model. I’ve seen photography like this, but not video. Pretty neat to watch; he has two others you can enjoy as well. [via kottke]
Reaching2008 September 30 by Daddy
The “snare” or summation for this article on CNN.com mentions that the Dow today has rebounded a bit from yesterday’s dramatic drop, and claims “…today’s bump came after President Bush urged lawmakers to try again to pass a bailout bill.” Is it just me, or is this a classic case of creating a connection where [...]
Throwback2008 August 1 by Daddy
Speaking of rockin’ 80s videos — I’m hooked. A couple more classics include A Flock of Seagulls and Dead or Alive — but this may just be the greatest 80s video of all time. I’m not sure I can be convinced otherwise. The look of total, joyous insanity on the girl’s face is priceless. I [...]

I’m posting this mostly to give KG something to rant about (it’s that time of year!), but the Pistons could be in a bit of a spot in the 2008 NBA playoffs, as Chauncey Billups went down with a pulled hamstring in Detroit’s game three loss to the Magic in Orlando last night. Billups is [...]
Table Turning2008 April 1 by Daddy
Now, I realize many people will have different takes on this, and I know that it’s perhaps not the smartest thing to do, depending on the situation, and I also realize it sounds incredible and I have no way to verify it other than to take the article’s word for it — but all that [...]
Committed2008 March 19 by Daddy
Let the “he won’t pan out anyway” diatribes commence from Ann Arbor, because quarterback Terrelle Pryor has committed to Ohio State. Sniff. Sniff. I can almost smell the vitriol in the air.
