Banksy Unveiled? Not Even Close - This morning I woke to the startling news that Banksy had been unveiled. I tripped out as I worked through the emotions of it. OH AWESOME, THEY FOUND HIM. Oh, Huh... They Found Him. DANG. THEY FOUND HIM?!?
Endgame: The Calling - Three Million in Gold - I have already begun searching for some of the 75 already created websites and social media profiles that have been created for the book, the puzzles and the game. I've discovered a couple. But I'm a little confused by a lack of sharing going on on the web already. Maybe I should keep them to myself?!? hahah. I mean, we are talking about 187 pounds of gold after all. Yeah. I think I'll keep them to myself. See you in the game.
Ambilight Skiing - enough to make one salivate... if I do say so myself.
CitizenFour - Snowden Documentary - It is clear that the U.S. Government has gone too far this time. But that is just my random opinions that don't really add up to much. What I am excited about is this documentary. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
The Future Will Be Hacked - There has been so much political grist for the networks and the news world lately about hacked celebrity accounts that I wonder what sort of pretensions we are all operating under here. Wait. While we are at the beginning, I think I should rename this post from "The Future Will Be Hacked" to "The Future Was Hacked Already" or better yet, "You Already Lost All Your Junk, You Just Don't Know It Yet."
Uber Beer Selection Flow Chart - other times I have no idea. I'm just a ship adrift. I wander from the ciders to the IPAs and back over to the stouts and around to the pales. Its on days like that I wish I had this handy flow chart for helping to decide exactly the right type of beer... at least the right section of the store anyway.
SCHÖNSTAUB Interstellar Rugs I am so good to my readers. You never ever have to guess what to buy me...
No Ebola Jokes Got It - Holy cow. So, I used to have to remind myself not to joke about bombs in airports, because the jokes that you aren't supposed to be doing are always the funniest. Always. Write that down, its a maxim to live by. Or not live by. One or the other. Regardless, check out what happens when a dork on a plane says, "HEY, I WAS JUST IN AFRICA AND I HAVE EBOLA!!"
Not too long ago I talked about my bucket list and the chance I had to check off an item from the list. The question I have is this - if you get a chance to do a bucket list item twice, do you get extra credit, or are you deducted for not completing the list first? It looks like I have a chance to circle the globe again. This time though, it will be the other way around... maybe that's a different item?
Since I first mentioned John Oliver's new show a few weeks ago he has made magic happen over and over and over again. He has castigated the Miss America's pageant's claim that they are the world's largest provider of women's college scholarships. Napalmed the US's policy on drones. Investigated student debt. Begged Scotland not to leave the United Kingdom. Beseeched Peru to get on the ball wrt ISIS. But none of it was as funny or revealing as this reporting on the concept of Civil Forfeiture that was originally in a story called "Stop and Seize" reported by the Washington Post.

The Saddest Most Lethal Sniper Ever – American Sniper Movie Chris Kyle was the deadliest sniper ever to serve for...
A Bit of the Holy in the Mundane - I've always been interested in finding a sense of the holy in the mundane. Brennan Manning in his book Ragamuffin Gospel talks about a friend that was struck by the holy in his reading of the book Watership Down. I personally have friends that tell stories about having encounters with angels while having tea. I have had similar responses to the American Beauty of the plastic bag circling in the wind. But probably the holiest of holy moments of my life was an 18-20 foot flight off my roof. And what not and the like.
