"No Hand King"

If you live or hang out in downtown raleigh (or i have even seen him around crabtree) and seen Rodney Hines riding his bike around downtown doing no-hands wheelies, then you’ve seen the almighty No-Hand King. The guy rules and he does all of this to draw attention for the troops. His goals include setting a Guinness World Record for the longest no-hand wheelie, and to ride across America with no-hands. Check out his video on YouTube.

We are not sure how this was kept secret by everyone involved but it was truly an incredible production. Check out Amy’s utter shock when people start springing up from the crowd to join in the fun in this heartwarming tribute to Amy and Brad on their special day…


I laughed, I cried, I clapped and I watched it twice!

i not only laughed, i cackled.

get your own artistic license and never have to explain yourself again




TradeMark G. of The Evolution Control Committee will issue you your own "Artistic License" for $20.


Now when I show up at art openings, I just flash my ID — I’m an artist!
More free wine, please! Even at clubs I present my license as my
identification… because, by gum, I’m an artist, just the kind of artist
who would be fully licensed. Although this is not legal identification
in the government’s eyes, I have presented it on many occasional to
security personnel who want “valid ID”. More times than not, they take
it! So, it must be valid.

Time.com picture of the week - real life surrealism is always appreciated around here.




People stroll around the Dutch cargo ship "Artemis" in Les Sables

course.

Scribefire 2.0

via Kitsune Noir:




Scribefire
is an extension for Firefox that opens up a small window at the bottom
of the browser. In this little window is a mini-blogging tool that
let’s me look at a website while I write about, which is absolutely the
most helpful tool in the world. When I first started blogging I hated
the idea of having to blog through Wordpress, constantly switching
between tabs, or having an entirely separate program to write posts.

I guess this is just a post about how much I
love Scribefire, it’s one of the main reasons I use Firefox over
Safari. And this morning they just released a brand new version (which
Firefox 3 conveniently notified me of) and it’s even better than it was
before. You can search for photos on Flickr and post them right to your
blog and the same thing goes for YouTube, which I’ll definitely be
using. My only beef so far is that I can’t resize the menu bar thingy
to the right anymore, but I’m sure they’ll fix it eventually, it’s
really NBD.


If you happen to have a blog and have never heard of Scribefire I highly suggest checking it out, it’s a life saver.


Snob note: This is my first Scribefire post and i heartily agree!!!
