Sad Social Commentary


Today, I caught this lemon trying to be a lime. How sad, I thought. Isn't he comfortable in his own skin? Why are we always trying to be something we're not? Does he honestly think life will somehow magically be better once he looks like a lime? I mean, on the inside he'll always be a lemon, and he should celebrate that! I just thought it was important to put this out there, and maybe try to raise awareness of this increasing problem. If I can save one fruit from a life of insecurity and self-loathing, it will have been worth it.

Lost Technology

You should read the following in Andy Rooney's voice. Did you ever have a techno-gadget that you just plain forgot about? I got this Flip Video camera for Christmas two years ago, used it a few times and put it in a drawer and forgot about it. The other day I opened my "electronics pouch" looking for yet another forgotten techno-gadget, my Nike + iPod sensor, and I came across my long-forgotten Flip. What a nice surprise when I connected it to the mother of all my techno-gadgets, my 17" MacBook Pro, and found this video I took of the Barcelona marathon. It ran right past our hotel, and we watched it for a while. Kind of weird recording something as primitive as a footrace on one of my many techno-gadgets...
