Caricature’d me

Last week when I was at a tradeshow, there was a booth that was doing caricatures by Doug Shannon. I stood in line and ended up with this beauty to share with you all.



Movies I've watched recently:

  • Real Steel (2011) 7/10

    YVR > SJC - kind of a zany concept but it works relatively well, not a great boxing movie but not too bad.

  • The Guard (2011) 8/10

    This movie came well recommended to me and it was a good, strange and profanity laced comedy. The main character was profound, confusing and yet remarkably consistent and believable. Some good lines in there and a nice change of pace from an action movie loaded with action to this one which seems to try to avoid it at every turn.

  • Moneyball (2011) 9/10

    When a movie with a plot as benign as MLB drafting and trading using statistics instead of scouting intuition is this entertaining, you know they did something right. Great story that had both Heidi and I riveted to a sport that we really know and care very little about.

  • Warrior (2011) 8/10

    MSP > YVR - Solid acting in this action-drama, decent story, pretty good fight scenes and sympathetic characters. All in all, nicely done.

  • Breaking the Press (2010) 4/10

    Ugh, this Christian movie was not worth watching. While it followed the plot of the Prodigal Son story closely, it seemed to lack all the great details that we had been learning about in the Prodigal God book study that we were going through. The acting was poor, most of the characters were poorly developed and the dialog was very local (to Texas) and didn't sound very natural to my Canadian ears.

Fountain of Youth

I was flying with American Airlines and in their magazine, American Way, they had an advertisement for some videos or something from some physicians and scientists who believe that, “aging is a treatable and preventable disease”.

That statement is hilarious to me because it’s so obviously not true; it was however, toned down a bit on their webpage, where they mention the effects of aging are decreased. Anyways, check out more of the freak of nature, Dr Bob Delmonteque if you want to know how you could be looking at 85 (I’ll be toast, but that’s my problem).



The Story of Stuff

I was forwarded a great presentation on the Story of Stuff, which outlines where stuff comes from, where it goes to and why we want it. Really educational and worth viewing (I watched the whole thing!)



The Woman Who Can’t Forget

I heard about this woman who has, “the Most Remarkable Memory Known to Science” and that she’s published a book with her memoirs. This is a woman who can remember everything that’s happened to her on every day of her life since she was 4 – she can remember what she ate, what day of the week it was, etc. This sounds like a book I would be interested in.
