Hi. It has been almost two weeks since the last post. In that time we did some stuff, saw some stuff, ate some stuff, and drank some stuff. It was really great.

In more interesting news, here’s an awesome video where some scientist fill an ant colony with cement to see what it really look like. You should watch it if you want to be a well-rounded and thoroughly educated person. You should not watch it if you are at all bothered that the scientists killed thousands of ants just to find out how they (use to) live. I wasn’t. Watch it.

Members of the board, I have called this meeting together to address some fairly serious issues. Due to the time-constraints I know we are all under, I won’t dally any more than necessary.

First, I would like to extend our warmest welcome to MC Hammerheadshark, artistic/personnel radical and class-act, who has choses us as his first stop in internet discovery each day.

Second. I ate kangaroo last week. Just thought you should know.

Third. It has come to my attention that Lasagna Cat is a hilarious web site featuring live-action reenactments of Garfield’s (un)funniest moments over the last few decades. Not to be missed.

Fourth. If anyone has had ideas about upgrading to Leopard and still using their M-Audio peripherals, just abandon them now.

Fifth. Did you know that Lightnin’ Hopkins drank a pint-glass of gin everyday and that Leadbelly murdered a couple of people? Fascinating.

Sixth. There’s finally a new mixtape up. (And the one from November is finally up in the archives. The new December mixtape is really pretty good, and it features Micah McGraw with nothing but the buffalo. You should probably listen to it.

Well, that’s all the time we have allotted, and, as you all know, we have tons of work to get done before next Tuesday’s deadline, so get out there and make us proud.

Meeting adjourned.

Every single turbo boost from Knight Rider. In one video.

I’m pretty sure this is a dream I had last night.

It is officially cold.

Hello there.

The new year is upon us, and we are taking it by force. The last one ended well – with glorious visits from the OBs and the Lamigraws, a much-needed trip back to the sunshine state to see sadly-missed friends and family, and a new years celebration party we attended at my new place of employment (which was rowdy, but we’ve seen rowdier) Photos of all, soon.

But now, onto the year ahead. While in California, Amber reminded us of The Mouse and the Billionaire Pact of 2007 which we wrote up last January, and were inspired to do the same again. However, when we went back over it, we realized there were no changes to be made. These are things we are consistently working towards.

So, again, without further ado, in a flurry of self-reflection, and to give the new year what it needs, we give to you The Mouse and the Billionaire Pact of 2007/8.

1. We will do more making and less critiquing.
2. We will focus on our language, preferring dialogue to diatribe.
3. We will create something to help people in a unique way.
4. We will not compare ourselves to any one else.
5. We will support the creativity of others.
6. We will send more time thinking.
7. We will not waste our or any one else’s time

So there you have it 2008. Thanks again for allowing us a chance to reflect and start fresh. Thanks for hanging out with us for the next 356.
