I wonder what kind of shoes he’s wearing…

Today I was reading one of my favorite geek blogs: Geekologie. (Be warned…some of the language on this geek blog is nsfw.)
In a recent post they embedded a video that I think shows some pretty amazing stuff. Apparently, it’s Cirque du Soleil practice footage of trampolining. Enjoy and happy friday!

Q&A with Dave Wendland

Guess who was quoted in the USA Today article “Real-time Web keeps social networkers connected“?
DAVE!
And, can you guess what Dave talked about? No surprises here, folks…

SF renames Bush St – aptly

So this rippled through the Interwebs today but I had actually stumbled upon it rather organically (or, ignorantly, as the case happened to be) and got a huge kick out of it – perhaps greater than if I had seen it online first then sought it out after – the beauty of a perfectly-executed stunt!
