Boycott the Super Bowl!
January 30th, 2009 @ 22:04Posted by: John
There’s a birthday party for Glenn Allan on Sunday at 2:00 at Oma Gruene’s Secret Biergarten. Glenn will CRUSH the Super Bowl because…. they do not have The Dunkel. They claim that a 30 second ad is worth 3 million, we say a Dunkel is worth 50 million! (Just be sure to ask for your $49,999,996.00 Glenn Allan discount!). Such a deal! There will be a P.A. setup and we’ll be hootennanyin’ all afternoon and then end up at Riley’s for the rest of the night. Here’s a map to Oma’s.
Come on, the Super Bowl has nobody playing in it that you know! You know everybody playin’ in the Glenn Bowl!
I never liked the Super Bowl because

Dreamgirls and Ukes
January 28th, 2009 @ 23:18Posted by: Jimmie
From Amy Crehore,
“… these are fully restored antique ukes, most from the 1920′s and 1930′s. Some are rare, some near mint, some are brand names. All playable. They will all be set up by a luthier, but they are also hand-painted (by me) fine art objects which will hang next to my paintings in the gallery setting.”
How Netflix Got Started

From Netflix founder and CEO Reed Hastings: “The genesis of Netflix came in 1997 when I got this late fee, about $40, for Apollo 13. I remember the fee because I was embarrassed about it. That was back in the VHS days, and it got me thinking that there’s a big market out there.
So I started to investigate the idea of how to create a movie-rental business by mail. I didn’t know about DVDs, and then a friend of mine told me they were coming. I ran out to Tower Records in Santa Cruz, Calif., and mailed CDs to myself, just a disc in an envelope. It was a long 24 hours until the mail arrived back at my house, and I ripped them open and they were all in great shape. That was the big excitement point. ”
We LOVE Netflix!
History of Recession

I thought this was a well put together interface for these short audio presentations. Click a segment and the audio will play. Keynesian economics is basically the idea behind the bailout – tinkering with the steering wheel to try to keep the 1,000 foot long barge from hitting the bridge. That’s right there in front of us. Even if you don’t have time to listen to each recording (do though, they’re great), take a glance at the timeline. What do we really have to complain about? We’ve had relatively short periods of

Interesting Volkswagen Picture at the Wolfsburg factory 1953

Small Wonder! Designed for a five member family and giving an honest 30mpg on regular gas without trying. Top speed of 71 mph. down hill only and 60mph up!
Many of the cars you see here lasted to over a million miles, because they weren’t “throw away” models. Every one was worth fixing.
