The finest display of the power of the human spirit on Earth. I've been watching ALL day and I just can't turn the TV off. No matter what event is on, I'm glued to the TV watching these Olympians give their all to their respective sports.
I almost lost my mind when Michael Phelps smashed his own world record in the 400 meter individual medley. Then not long after that, Stephanie Rice and Kirsty Coventry both smash the world record in the same event! I can't imagine beating the world record time and still coming in 2nd place. That must have really hurt.
It gives me so much energy and hope watching these games. I hope you are all enjoying the events as much as I am.

Joke of the Day
A football fan receives a free ticket to the Super Bowl from his employer. Unfortunately, when he arrives at the stadium he realizes that the seat is in the LAST row in the corner of the stadium. He's closer to the damn Goodyear Blimp than he is to the field.
About halfway through the 1st quarter, he notices an empty seat 10 rows off the field on the 50-yard line. He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the stadium to the empty seat.
Before he sits down, he taps the shoulder of the man in the next seat over. "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" The man says no. The fan can't keep his excitement to himself. He turns to the man and says, "This is incredible! Who in their right mind would buy a seat like this at the Super Bowl and not use it?"
"Well, actually the seat belongs to me," the man replies. "I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we haven't attended together since we got married in 1967." "
"That's really sad," says the fan. "Couldn't you find a relative or a close friend to take the seat?"
"No," the man replies, "they're all at the funeral."

No frontin'. This is funny.
Just the sight of this girl kills 500 active brain cells for me. This dig at John McCain is funny though.

Joke of the Day
It was mealtime during a flight to Chicago. "Would you like dinner?" the flight attendant asked a passenger. "What are my choices?", the man asked. "Yes or no," she replied.

Kicks & Snares Producer T-Shirts
Got an e-mail from one of my favorite sound sources today and these dudes just dropped 6 new tees. Nothing too crazy, but fans of music production will surely find one or two worth a purchase. I know I did.
