Change

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Fleet Foxes

I found these guys today and I really like them. They are the Fleet Foxes.




I first found them here. I like this video better, but could not get it to the blog.

All road signs in Wales must have text in both English and Welsh. Sometimes they don’t exactly agree. Swansea Council emailed a request for a Welsh translation for this sign. The reply came back in Welsh, and was duly printed. The problem is that the Welsh version says (in English),

“I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated”.

Pinball

I ran across an interesting site with lots of pictures of old pinball machines. This picture cracks me up......seriously:

I like MEAT!

Tonight I'm making some different kinds of meat. I must have an iron deficiency, because I want MEAT!

So I'm making jerky, which won't even be ready to eat until tomorrow (sad...). So until then I'm making wings. Portuguese style to be exact. Since I can't ever just do what the recipe says (what the hell do they know anyway?), I'm cooking mine over the barbeque. It makes the house to damn hot anyway.

They are called Dragon's Chicken Wings, but they aren't that hot, just really freekin' tasty. I don't measure ingredients, that would be like admitting I don't know how to do something (eyeballing a measured amount). When I get done, they look something like this:

David Byrne is back again and I approve

I have been a fan of David Byrne for some time. In case you don't remember he was involved in the Talking Heads some years back. Well he and Brian Eno (a great producer who has worked with a bunch of well known artists) got together to produce this new album. It is available online through download only for now directly from the artist. Neat idea, no middle man to jack up the prices and you can listen for free through a stream on their site, or right here, right now by clicking below. I recommend listening for a few songs before you say, "I don't know who the hell this is!" and run for more familiar music. Have Fun!
