Auto-Tune the News
Since it’s Friday, I figured I’d post something funny. I may be a little late to the party on this one, but The Gregory Brothers created a series called Auto-tune the News on YouTube that’s a riot.

A Funny Look At Simplicity
For the past few months, I’ve been exploring the ideas and choices around minimalism and simplicity. Some people may feel that it’s a fad and who knows, they might be right. For me personally, I’ve always found that I think better with less clutter and simplicity falls in line with my productivity methods.
I plan on writing more about this journey I’m on, but I need to get some distance first so I can look back and have some perspective. Then the article Simplicity is hard. Let’s go shopping! showed up in my RSS reader, courtesy of minimalmac.com and I just had to share it.
It has more to do with how husbands and wives communicate than it does with minimalism, but I hope you find it as humorous as I did. Enjoy.
How To Brew a Good Cup of Coffee
I came across this video courtesy of my favorite coffee shop here in Nashville, Crema via their Twitter stream. Enjoy!
Little Bits Of Brilliance
Dan sent me a link in IM this afternoon that turned out to be quite the find. He said he was searching for the domain gumbydammit.com to see if it was available and surprised to find that it redirected to a blog entitled Ensuite at www.neodorks.com.
The blog is comprised of very short entries that almost come off as jokes from a FOO stand up routine, if it weren’t for their somewhat elitist tone. Being somewhat elitist myself, I found nearly every entry a riot, but a few were real standouts.
We flew in to San Francisco as we’ve done a dozen times over these past few months.
Our tiny jet is more a floating foyer than a formal jetliner and, at 40,000 feet, the rules and conventions of commercial air travel simply do not apply.
“I’ll bet I could get that door opened before you could kill me,” she said in a voice that she would likely have described as playful.
I finished my scotch, turned my seat toward hers, and unbuckled my restraint.
“Ready?” I asked.
I’ll bet we never speak of this again.
It appears that several people write for the blog and it’s full of little tidbits of clever conversations. Conversations where the writer has the perfect comeback that most people think of 10 minutes later. Check it out, it’s worth the read.
Behind The Scenes of the Nashville Gas Shortage
If you haven’t been following the news of recent, Nashville has had a gas shortage for well over a week now. I’ve been having flashbacks to the 1973 oil crisis as we’ve seen lines around the block for people trying to get gas at a station that actually had gasoline. It’s been a bit nuts around here to say the least.
To give you a glimpse of just how crazy it’s been, Jim Ridley of the Nashville Scene has uncovered a video of what it’s been like inside Metro Government.
