A beautiful car for a beautiful day.

Forget about football for a little bit and lose yourself in this car.

Because Global Warming is Just a Left-Wing Conspiracy

THE ISLAND PRESIDENT—A Documentary Film By Jon Shenk |:




'via Blog this'

The Island President looks like it'll be a good documentary. It's sad though, because it might already be too late to do enough before sea levels overtake the Maldives. Sounds like that means Manhattan, too (and many other cities/nations that are close to sea level).  Hopefully, this film will raise more awareness and spur more action.

Knowing how things go, people (and governments) will just deny it and wait until major catastrophe strikes before even thinking about changing their way of life. Millions of people are going to be affected by rising sea levels. I hope we can pull together and do something more than just say, "It sucks to be them."

Just for fun

This is my son when he was very young...under a year old.

This is one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen. I saw one in my building recently and had to inquire about the breed. If I ever get a dog, I would seriously consider this one. Of course, it is pretty expensive.

After searching the internet for pictures, I couldn't find one as cute as the one in my building, but I'd still consider getting one.

To Nanny or Not to Nanny

Do you use a nanny? Would you? As a stay-at-home dad, I see a lot of nannies at work in the parks. Maybe this is just the case around the East Bay (I have seen this in both Alameda and Albany), but I would never trust my child with these people.

Most of the time the nannies are either talking on the phone or with one another, but they are not paying attention to the children. Often, they seem to have too many children to look after as well.

Just the other day, a child ran off and the nanny did not even notice. A nearby worker who was using a leaf blower to clean out gutters noticed the child and had to call over to the nanny to get him. This was not an enclosed park, there were no fences, there were streets nearby, and there was construction going on nearby. This nanny was lucky that someone else was looking out for the child, and so were the parents.

This is pretty awesome

I love creative people, they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
