I'm Bringing Eggs and Milkshakes

So this fourth of July I went camping with some friends, which I haven't done for awhile. Luckily didn't get too sun burnt and no lost limbs from camp fires or fireworks. I took some videos while I was there and thought I'd post them up.

This first video is one of the many fireworks we had picked up in Indiana on our way. I recommend Lightning Fireworks in Portage, IN if you can find it. Looks shabby on the outside but pyro heaven on the inside.

The next are some higher-end sparklers. They're called Morning Glories and rather than one single type of flare, it changes after five seconds.

My friend Travis kind of planned the whole thing and he was in a band called Second Frost. I say "was" because he's now moving to Michigan and the band is staying in Chicago. The whole band also came out to camp and played at a local bar called The Red Rooster. You're seeing video of their last performance...treasure it.

And finally, the placemats at The Red Rooster were this odd mix of fun and local advertising. It was a hand drawn map of Muskegon, MI with local business (I'm guessing one's that paid more got bigger placement...I'm looking at you Ford dealership) but you also had to find 20 hidden roosters. I tried to capture it with this video.

Thoughts On a Possible Newspaper Bailout

Thought this was a great quote from Radley Balko of Reason:

Speaking as an investigative journalist, I find the idea of a “national endowment for investigative journalism” fairly preposterous. And doling out the money according to circulation figures relies on the badly mistaken assumption that the best reporting is done by the publications with the most readers. Something also tells me that when the government starts funding investigative journalism, investigative journalists will be reluctant to go after the government. And government watchdog is the primary responsibility of a free press.

Amazing Ad

This ad is for the new Philips TV and is worth the two minute watch. Now I want to buy this TV and watch it in it's full HD glory.

Nerd Alert!

I turned myself into a Romulan. Thank science I'm engaged or my chances with a female would be close to zero.

Like a Boss

Maybe not the funniest thing in the world, but it still made me giggle.

Infuriating



So apparently carrying lots of cash is grounds for detainment at an airport. I also found it infuriating that one TSA agent says, "He's acting like a child" How is asking whether or not a question is something he needs to legally answer childlike?
