Be sure to read his great speech today, or listen to the whole thing on the video below.
This Will Be A Huge Boon To Central Oregon Tourism
I’d completely avoid Central Oregon from June 14-17. Why? Because the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization is coming to Central Oregon, and you know those guys can get a little crazy searching for Sasquatch. But considering there have been twelve sightings in Deschutes County and 195 total in Oregon, I can see their reasons for coming here.
NSA Has Backdoor Access To Windows
While this comes as no surprise to me, it certainly doesn’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
That’s One Way To Avoid Copyright Lawsuits
This is pretty hilarious, and I hope they pull this off.
Want to avoid copyright laws completely? Become your own nation
The group of people that run PirateBay.org have announced plans to purchase the man-made island called Sealand. The structure sitting out at sea was originally called HM Fort Roughs and was formally a Maunsell Sea Fort off the coast of England. Although Sealand does not have a government that is recognized by any country, the small population that it holds — roughly ten — does claim rights to sovereignty.
I can’t wait to see their Olympic team.
Great Commercial
This is one of the cutest commercials I’ve seen in quite a while (though it’d probably be a better shoe commercial than a candy commercial).
It’s Official: The Terrorists Have Won
Getting through security at the airport is bad enough, but now those little security trays you dump your stuff into will now have ads. Link via Fark.
How Dirty Are NYC Buildings?
Just have a look at this picture and you’ll see how much better things will look after a bit of power washing.
Pimped Out Toilet
This is so sad: This fancy toilet has a Playstation 3, DVD player, and even a beer tap.

American Idol Is Evil
Sorry, just had to post this really quick (which I posted about this same time last year). Yes, I know American Idol is stupidly popular and a ratings dreams for Fox, but I always get miffed when i have to wait three weeks for new episodes of my favorite show.
That is all.
I’m A Good Dad, But Not A Hair Stylist
My wife had to head out of town today for a funeral (she’s on the pass right now where chains are required), so I took the day off work to watch over the kids. I’m a good dad, and can handle this without issue, but I am a man, and I’ll be the first to admit: I suck at doing a little girl’s hair.
I have no problem with every other motherly duty — making lunches, getting the kids ready, picking out clothes, cleaning up the house, playing with our little one, running errands, etc… . But I’m downright horrible at getting a little girl’s hair so it doesn’t look horrible. Luckily my seven-year-old will hold still long enough for me to get it right, and her little pony tails came out fine (eventually). My three-year-old, on the other hand, was a bit more of a handful. Mommy’s good at it. She can throw her down and get her hair styled, even braided, in a matter of seconds it seems. Me, I managed to get her hair out of her face by bribing her with watching Dora The Explorer where she would at least be in one place long enough for me to do it. I suck.
Ah the joys of parenthood …
