Hows my little Socialist?

fun fact.
If facebook were a country it would be the 24th most populous country right behind Italy.

If you are an advertiser any particular member on facebook is worth $306.12.

For you myspace freaks, this one is even more crazy, if Myspaceland were a country it would rank as the fifth most populous country in the world behind Indonesia(231,627,000) and the USA(303,203,064).

yikes!

Hows my little tracker?

I love being able to track visitors to my blog.
In an adventure through my referrals I found that someone made it to my page looking this up. Too funny those silly germans.

Hows my little 23rd?

My life(this weekend):
This weekend was a fun one. It kicked off with my always wonderful girlfriend trekking up from Mad-town and we had an excellent steak dinner and some delicious chocolate spice cake and ice cream. After drinking some wine we decided a trip to the red star was in store, but not before picking up Sarah and Sam from Sir Bens and a drink there. There was some dancing at the red star which was a ball.



After some much needed sleep Laura and I headed out of town to Jay Cooke state park and hiked around a little bit and did some geocacheing. (2 for 2!) It is a really cool area because of how the landscape was shaped by the mighty St. Louis river.


(not sure why it loaded on its side)

After we finished Geocacheing we went to the UMD drag show which was fun. We tried watching the jungle book but we both fell asleep a couple of times during it.

Sunday was fun too!
Laura's and I went out to Hells Kitchen for breakfast which was really delicious, I had the huevos rancheros which I recommend. Later we met up with laura's parents and we headed to the Depot which was really cool. I love learning about Duluth's history for some reason and there was much to be learned there.




That night on a spur of the moment decision Laura and I made a mad dash to the movie theater to catch the last showing of Across The Universe. I will recommend this movie to just about anyone. I'm not usually a big fan of musical movies but its such an engaging movie and oddly inspiring (to me anyway) its worth the 8 bucks.

Monday was my Birthday and Laura took me out to dinner at the brewhouse and we hit up carmodys for a couple of drinks with all sorts of cool peeps. It was very grand, and so am I.

Hows my little indecision?

Enough said.

Hows my little fatty?

another sign that humans are on their way to eating themselves to death:

Hardee's today rolled out its new Country Breakfast Burrito - two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat.

I'm not saying that it doesn't sound good, because it does, But come on! according to a little caloric calculator to maintain my weight I should eat on the low side of 2500 calories each day. 920 is really really close to half of what I should eat in a day, neatly wrapped in a portable burrito. (So that I can run while eating it...right?)

Jayne Hurley(nutritionist), said The "country breakfast bomb," represents half a day's calories and a full day's worth of saturated fat and salt, to say nothing of cholesterol.

Hows my little mouse?

A video I made with a partner in class. Its...not bad for a first timer in final cut.

Hows my little new music?

Ever heard of the wombats?
nono, not the animal, which most of you have, the band.
I can't seem to get enough of this particular song:



capital heart

Hows my little pirate

Duluth, Minnesota — Testimony today in Capitol Records, et al v. Jammie Thomas quickly and inadvertently turned to the topic of fair use when Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG, was called to the stand to testify. Pariser said that file-sharing is extremely damaging to the music industry and that record labels are particularly affected. In doing so, she advocated a view of copyright that would turn many honest people into thieves.

Pariser noted that music labels make no money on touring, radio, or merchandise, which leaves the company particularly exposed to the negative effects of file-sharing.

...

Gabriel asked if it was wrong for consumers to make copies of music which they have purchased, even just one copy. Pariser replied, "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." Making "a copy" of a purchased song is just "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'," she said.
