TV: Austin City Limits w/Avett Brothers
Just learned about Clicker.com today. It’s like a TV Guide for the Internet. I came across a series called “Austin City Limits” that I never actually catch when it airs on TV, but thanks to PBS.org I can watch some great bands live from my MacBook Pro.

It was also pretty cool seeing Lake Placid, the home of...

your path to happiness
Flow diagrams make things a bit clearer. They cut the BS, discard “emotion” and give clear cut options and their subsequent outcomes.
For anyone who’s starting 2010 a little unsure of themselves and need a mental kicking in the butt, take another at the above flow diagram damn it.

We were chatting about how she feels spent at her job (first...

Olympics 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Intro to Rio de Janeiro
Video 1. Olympic Cadidate video promo
Video 2. Master Plan fly over, really cool. Get a lesson on Brazil geography.
I’m not familiar with that song that everyone in Brazil seems to know, but spend any time outside of the USA and you’ll see how other countries celebrate their homeland with songs and chants, like those you’d hear at a soccer game abroad....
