Real Life Heroics

Found this surfing the 'net. No way to tell if it's just a photo-op with an added caption, but it would be a pretty cool story if true. šŸ™‚

Caption: "This kid had lost his dad in the crowd, and freaked out until he saw Flash and Wonder Woman. He went up to Flash to ask for help, because he knew him."

Meanwhile, in Indiana

Daughter wanted to go to a corn maze this weekend. Less than ten minutes from home. Corn maze.

Daughter snapped this pic while I was totally trying to call down the aliens who built this crop circle!

Googleā€™s Flutter acquisition could bring air gestures to Gmail

From the link:
Would you rather reach out and touch your screen or wave your hand in front of you in order to get to your next email? Itā€™s entirely possible that Google will soon offer you that choice now that the company has acquired the gesture engineers at Flutter.

Ah… but will it recognize one finger commands for things like blocking? šŸ˜‰

Was The ā€œBreaking Badā€ Finale All Just A Fantasy In Walter Whiteā€™s Head?

Was The ā€œBreaking Badā€ Finale All Just A Fantasy In Walter Whiteā€™s Head?

Norm Macdonald put forth this theory through a series of tweents that the final episode of Breaking Bad, ā€œFelina,ā€ was actually nothing but a fantasy. Read the tweets at the link! I do not buy into it, but it is a fun read. šŸ™‚

Breaking Bad Finale Reviewed by Someone Who Never Watched Any Other Episodes

Breaking Bad Finale Reviewed by Someone Who Never Watched Any Other Episodes

If you are a Breaking Bad fan and do not read this hilarious review, then you are doing yourself a total injustice! After watching the show for five seasons it is hard to imagine NOT knowing what all the plot points are, so it is hilarious to see someone stumbling through the final episode when this is the only one they have ever seen. šŸ™‚

I saw this originally from +Robert MisnerĀ (but wanted to add a photo). Proper kudos to Robert, though!!!

Geek Life: Chewbacca and the Fallen Fork

There are a lot of ways to prove one's geek cred. Large collections of action figures or other accepted geek swag, scarily complete knowledge of sci-fi and fantasy television and movies, and a subset of your friends knowing exactly what you are talking about while another subset never has a clue what you are rambling on about.

All of the above are observable indicators of geek life. However, they all take knowing a person at least a little before applying the label. It occurred to me a few moments ago, however, that there are certain occurrences that can warrant the immediate application of the geek tag with little or no further observation or need of proof.

For example, I picked up my dinner plate to carry it to the kitchen and dropped my fork, which proceeded to bounce across the living room floor causing me to be greeted with not a thud or a clanging, but with a loud Wookiee roar. Instant and unequivocal proof of geek when not cleaning one's domestic space means Star Wars plushies are lined up on the living room floor. Also, not as a result of children, but because they are there because you and your equally adult brother got them out of your collection as potential props for a silly video for G+ social media friends.

Tripping over a deck of zombie themed playing cards and a box of super hero rubber ducks after picking up the fork was just overkill. šŸ˜‰

Social Media, Our Teens, and Sex

The article may be on the long side for some, but I found it to be particularly enlightening; especially as the father of a new teen in this social media age.

My thoughts? Like everything, communication communication communication with your children folks; and, pay attention. I'm lucky that I will always be tech savvy by nature of my jobs and hobbies. For non tech parents, I definitely recommend some crash courses in what's available in the digital world. I hate when I hear about parents just banning the internet from kids or just trying to lock it down. I view such "solutions" like trying to hold water with your bare hands. Right along with communication, education for both parents and children, on any topic, is key.

Missed it by this much

This article falls short in the research department. Now I have to go look up what songs were number one and if they stood the test of time better than those in the number two spot. Fun article… But I rank it number two of the day, at best. šŸ˜‰

TO ALL READERS: When someone asks politely for you to draw them a sheep, you draw them a sheep.

+Meirav M.Ā asked politely to have a sheep drawn (http://goo.gl/WqQQTm). So, Meirav, here is a sheep.

To all others – whip out some MSPAINT or a pencil or pen and some paper (and take a pic with your cell phone) and post Meirav a sheep. Tell her Scott sent you. šŸ˜‰

Oh, and I wanted my sheep to be baaaa-d so he's from Breaking Baaaa-d. Remember to tag me so I can count your sheep. Yup. I went there.

Music from Breaking Bad

SPOILERS!

Wordmule by Jim White. This song played on season 5, episode 9 when Hank was going through boxes of files in his garage "connecting the dots".

Halloween is Coming!

Back at the big box store with +Kristi Fahlsing again. šŸ˜‰

So… I didn't let Kristi's Iron Man give my Iron Man bunny ears so she put a very small fairy costume on me as payback. The costume skinned my nose and the hanger went up my nostril. There is a lesson in here somewhere. I think.
