Pirates! I've got questions.

Seriously, who would have thought that being a pirate today would be so lucrative.  Granted, there are tons of cyber-pirates out there stealing data from our computers right now, but I'm talking about the kind you find in boats.  Do you think they offer a course in colleges for this sort of thing?  Who's exactly in charge of determining the course of action against pirates? Do we have anti-piracy laws for these 'sea dogs'? 

 

I'm really taken back by this.  There are millions of dollars worth of goods being stolen.  What about re-routing these shipments?  Yes, I know it will take a lot longer and cost more money.  Wouldn't you rather throw millions of dollars to something that is actually working for you not against you?  All of these ransoms are becoming inhibitors and encouragement to future pirates.  I'm sure it's a difficult task to take on and hi-jack a massive tanker or cargo ship on the high sea. 

 

Sorry for all of the questions.  I guess I'm still the 5 year old that always asks 'why?' 5 billion times...

Great music!

I was on a Flickr account page of a photographer that I've been following.  He does some 'unique' work and I find it inspirational.  I'll never be able to do what he does most of the time, but it's good to try new things and learn from others. 

 

Anyways, he did some shooting of a musician/artist and had a link to his website.  It's awesome stuff.  Thoroughly enjoyable!!

 

Please go here.  The video is pretty cool too (especially the end!).

Christmas in 13 days!

Today's post is all about Christmas.

Not so much as to the meaning of Christmas, but about what people do for Christmas. Every year there are some things that we do that are the same. Some things change. For instance, every year, we go get a real tree. This year, a difference is that we'll actually be in our own home to celebrate. Hardly monumental, I know, but it's the little things that create tradition. One tradition that isn't so little with my wife's family is Swedish dinner. It's awesome. Clearly not healthy, but great! Swedish meatballs, pork & barley, meat korv, potato korv, herring... Stuff to help you last through the winter!

So, even if you think something your family does is an idiotic waste of time, join in. Join in because it's what you're going to remember for a very long time.
