Future tone machine
Note the stinky tone face around 13secs, the bad-a leg up on the floor monitor stance, and the absence of any "ker-chank" noises from missed notes. Future tone machine I tell ya.

Incorporated the new logo I designed into a new tshirt graphic for @kennethwagner's new Friday night student ministry at Calvary Wesleyan where the middle & high school students are meeting together (thus the new name; United).
The logo began life as the "homeblock" font (free at dafont.com) and gradually changed because of the ugly "T" & the "e". The colors and design are what comes to mind when I think late 80's, banana seat bicycles, M.A.S.K. and bad taste. So I took the grid-like lines and combined them with gaudy colors and came up with what I think is a cool retro design.
If you ever have the pleasure of seeing a live show at the Newberry Opera House in Newberry, SC, do so. The acoustics are great, the seating is tight and cozy (like any other small, old theatre built in 1881), the building is beautiful, and listening to someone like Doc play Deep River Blues in this setting makes you feel like you've been transported back in time. The concert line-up for 2010 is pretty impressive for a such a small venue (426 seats). Even with the recent $5.5 mil renovation it feels like a perfectly preserved piece of history, not a re-themed, re-branded tourist attraction. It seems that the older I get and the more things change around me, the more I appreciate the places and things of a previous generation.
Do you have interwebs turret's? Do you need to let the world know why you are right and everyone else is so wrong? Do you love to argue just for the sake of arguing? Does it excite you to bring someone down a notch? Peruse posted videos of things that disinterest you and tell us how stupid we are for finding it interesting. Don't let that little girl post her birthday party at the skating rink without repercussions. Tell her how stupid she is for skating to "The Climb". Sign up for a youtube account and start trolling immediately. It's no just a right, it's your duty.
I stay as far away from politics as possible, because I've seen the effects of listening to talk radio & news stations on the human psyche. Let's just say if Glenn Beck is on in the break room, I'm responsible for hiding all the sharp objects. Anyways, this letter to the editor was too good not to pass along, so here it is for your enjoyment*:
A Questionable Deal
I appreciate your editorial on the Cash for Clunkers program, and it did produce car sales. However, there is another consideration:
A vehicle driven 12,000 miles per year at 15mpg uses 800 gallons of gasoline. A vehicle driven 12,000 miles a year at 25mpg uses 480 gallons. So the average clunker transaction will reduce U.S. gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
They claim 700,000 vehicles sold through their program, so that's 224 million gallons per year. That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil. Five million barrels of oil is about one-quarter of ONE day's U.S. consumption. And 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million at $75/bbl.
So we as taxpayers contributed $3 billion to save $350 million. How good a deal was that?

*If you did not enjoy this and it made you angry, I will be glad to come to your house and hide the sharp objects from you.
