Video for Kevvy

From a british band called "Hard Fi" -- Kind of a depressing song, but I liked the video concept. Creative goodness.

Whatcha' think?

Also, can't wait to see Body Worlds on Wednesday at the Science Museum! The East Side Math Brawlers will be chillin with the homies in the Experiment Gallery (aka, "Da 'Hood"), too. ;)

I was looking at your post a few months back about extreme marathons, and I remembered reading about this one:

Also, links about the virtuoso banjo player Bela Fleck:

And, last but not least, a song by another banjo player. The song that his grandmother used to sing to him when he was just a little boy (or so he claims :P ):

Be Courteous (The Grandmother's Song)

Be courteous, kind, and forgiving
Be gentle and peaceful each day
Be warm and human and grateful
And have a good thing to say

Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike
Be witty and happy and wise
Be honest and love all your neighbors
Be obsequious, purple and clairvoyant

Be sure to stop at stop signs
And drive fifty-five miles an hour
Pick up hitchhikers foaming at the mouth
And when you get home get a master's degree in geology

Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus
Be dull and boring and omnipresent
Criticize things you don't know about
Be oblong and have your knees removed

(Ladies only) Never make love to Bigfoot
(Men only) Hello, my name is Bigfoot
(Everyone) Put a live chicken in your underwear
Go into a closet and suck eggs

- Steve Martin

Look Ma! It's a 'blog!

I may or may not become too serious about this blogging thing. But others I know are here, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon (so much for originality).


But alas, work beckons. So I must write more later.
