Volcanic Lighting!

The Chaiten Volcano in southern Chile erupted during a lighting storm and some lucky/awesome photographer snagged this gem. Lighting engulfed the explosions providing some siiiick imagery. Imagine a power infinitely stronger than that. Would you respect it?

I want a huge version of this pic if anyone can find it for me.

I need music, any suggestions?

So my first Father's day brought me $75 in iTunes gift certificates (note: iTunes gift cards are the key to my heart and the only thing I usually request for gifts). The only problem is I haven't been able to stay fresh on what's hot in the music world.

Can I get some suggestions? Specific songs would be best. I like everything but country and R&B, so hit me with something you are loving lately.

I won

Last night was a landmark event in my life. I beat the Brickbreaker game that comes stock on blackberry phones. I know many of you with Blackberrys will appreciate this incredible feat of focus, resolve, talent, vision, leadership, compassion, and spiritual discipline.

There are 34 levels in the game and upon winning I thought something cool would happen, instead it started me back at the beginning where it was twice as hard to play. What a reward!

I got to level 6 on the second time around before bowing out with dignity and honor. Truly and amazing experience and I recommend that all of you with Blackberrys spend way too much time trying to beat the game.

My score: 17295
My rank worldwide: 44826

Making Fast Faster

Great ad

[Update] The video below was removed from youtube. Which doesn't make sense to me if its an ad. Wouldn't you want people posting your ad on their blogs, especially when, like my blog, millions are reading it daily? I guess they have a different strategy.

Helping Hooves AKA "Cuddles" the Guide Horse

Amazing! I would write another post about it but Danny did too good of a job. You have to read his post on the mini-horses. I can't believe this exists.

A Memphis Must - Jerry's Sno Cones

Where I have been for 2 out of the last 3 nights? Where have I found the perfect summer blend of taste and texture? Where is this refreshing treat?

Jerry's Sno Cones. Memphis, Tennekee
















Another shout out to Chris Hill for uncovering this gem. (Chris is a local Memphis legend and possibly the best tour guide in the city. If you are ever in town hit him up for a true Memphis tour).

I've only had the Watermelon (amazing), and the Peach (not as a amazing), but my next trip will include a "Supreme" version of some flavor. Somehow they jam the center with ice cream...BLADOW!






























It's all in the ice. That wafer thin ice. Just perfect.
If you haven't gone, go tonight. They are open until 9, closed on Sunday.
