But Barack certainly seems to get the young ones out. This is a great support video featuring celebs and music. If it were a single I’d buy it. As it stands perhaps I’ll find a way to get this video onto my computer. Ahem, umm, as I respect copyright laws and all of that.
Mac vs. PC – Election 2008 style!

and for the elephants:
Having grand mal seizures is not a joking matter. But come on, this is ripe with humor about the quality of Sean Paul… but I’ll let it pass.

Story from the LA Times about a Google employee who’s gained a bit of in-house fame for his reviews of their free gourmet food. He also notes:
He is careful to measure portions and work out regularly at the Google gym. He does that to avoid the dreaded “Google 15” — a reference to the pounds new employees often put on amid unlimited supplies of free grub
Oh god yes. I’d imagine people put on weight like nobody’s business at first. I probably would as I have issues with portion control. Of course maybe if I was eating gourmet food, I’d be satiated quickly and not want to eat until I’m disgustingly full. Somehow I doubt it. Haha, just one more reason for me not to work at Google (not that I could).
So here are two articles on the new show on Lifetime, “How to Look Good Naked”. I’m not going to comment on the show as I’ve not seen it. I likely won’t watch it, especially if what’s written about the show are true. Suffice it to say, yes media have given women a false ideal of perfection. Yes, women (and men) as a result suffer from body dysmorphia. Yes, not hating yourself is a step in the right direction. But no, some people are overweight and they need to lose some. They don’t have to be stick thin, but they have to get healthy. Okay, I’ve already commented more than I wanted to. The links for you to read and ponder:
It’s for charity, sure, but you run 2 miles, eat a dozen doughnuts, run 2 miles back in under an hour.
12 Krispy Kreme original glazed = 2400 calories
Running for 1 hour = 580-740 calories burned
Umm, yeah.
Well part of it, also had some Korean-style sashimi too.

I’m so incredibly happy that NBC is bringing back American Gladiators. There’s a better than good chance it sucks with over the top characters. But at the very least they are keeping many of the classic events, which leaves me some hope that it won’t be too bad.
So I finally watched Helvetica last week. I wanted to see it since it was announced. I had tickets when it was local, but I couldn’t make the show. So watched the DVD. Yes it is a movie about a font. It’s mostly in praise of, but does have some of the detractors. It’s a good movie. And if you are into typography, whether or not you like Helvetica, or design, you should probably watch this movie.
