Happy 60th Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
My mom and dad celebrated their 60th anniversary on Wednesday; but, today, Sunday, the whole family came together for an anniversary brunch. Here, my mom shows off the dress she wore sixty years ago for the wedding.

Gotta loves those ’40s fashions!

Quick, Get Me Video of Walter Reed! No, the Other Walter Reed!
I too kept wondering why the RNCC kept showing that mansion facade behind McCain last night. (And after ten minutes I was wondering if they could show other channels to watch.) Turns out there was a reason ... just not a very good reason. Apparently they meant to show video of Walter Reed military hospital but ended up with video of Walter Reed Middle School. You have to read this to believe it.
I wonder if this kind of half-assed web search explains their VP pick.

Nick & Heather’s Wedding (Highlights)
The wedding was last year, and I’m too late for their anniversary, but for some reason I felt compelled this weekend to take my old HD footage and make a mini-movie.

It took me two days before I got a decent export out of FCP, and the video still doesn’t play too well for me through Vimeo. Is it playing okay for you?

WJR Tigers March
Yes, it’s well known the Internet Makes You Stupid®, but sometimes it can be your friend. I was just reminiscing about an old sound from childhood when I realized I should see if I could find it online. And lo and behold I could and did. I had to do a little editing of the original MP3 I found, to get it the way I remembered it, so I figured I might as well share the final product here.
Here it is. The march they used to play on WJR 760 AM before Detroit Tiger games.

Dearborn Fireworks: 2008
My SFG podcast is showing signs of life again. After a couple years absence, I finally made it back to the Dearborn Homecoming city festival this weekend. I’ve also loved their incredible and impressive fireworks, and this year’s display did not disappoint. Here’s the grand finale, from Saturday, August 2 2008.

Update: on August 26 2008, I deleted the original embed and replaced it with this HD version. My poor four-year-old G5 can barely handle it (mainly since Adobe’s Flash for Mac sucks) but maybe it looks better on your computer.

Horrible Goodness
Why no updates? What’s the point. How I can compete with the Internet awesomeness of this?

Newsmaker
Shit, they plagiarized my short story! A Macedonian man kills three women so he can report the murders for his newspaper.
• ABC News (US)
• Guardian (UK)
(My story on other hand involved an anchorman and TV station.)

IMPEACH NOW!
At this moment, as I type this, Dennis Kucinich, representative from Ohio, is bringing articles of impeachment against George W Bush, for deceiving the American people and violating his oath to protect and preserve the Constitution. I assume being a miserable failure, a waste of air, and fucking up this country beyond recognition are included in the thirty-five articles, as well.
Go, Dennis, go! At least one Democrat in the House knows what needs to be done (and what should have been done years ago).
More details at Raw Story.

I found this at Dvorak Uncensored, ironically on the day before a five-day vacation.

Sunset
Another vlog entry. This one shot Thursday evening, May 15 2008. I left work late that day, which allowed me to catch this sunset.
