« I don't care who you are... | Main | Who needs Starbucks (uh, me) when Snoasis is in town?! »
Friday
Jul112008

Laugh. Think. Laugh. Think. Repeat as necessary.

So glad it's Friday.  I'm tired.  Helped Julie at Snoasis again on Wednesday night.  Supermodel's been killin' me with early morning workouts - Betty Boop even hooked up with us one day.  Hosted Bunko resulting in the stupid b#ner (rhymes with loner) post.  So here's a little funkay Friday refreshment.  It's only one minute long, so check out Spock's Casa - let's all just loosen up...

Now, if you want to watch something a little less bubble-gum, check out this 16 minute talk posted on Chris' blog about what we all do with our "cognitive surplus" i.e. spare time, and how it's evolved.  Chris is obviously a marketing guy, but the video clip is interesting commentary for anyone. 

Don't worry, I won't quiz you on the surplus link, but I expect everyone to quote from Star Trek Cribs.  "No salsa on the leath-ah!"

Okay, I watched both and...actually liked the cognitive surplus video immensely. In addition to the good old-fashioned gin push cart references in the beginning (man we could still benefit from some of those :), I was fascinated by the meat of the discussion. I find myself caught somewhere between the "Gilligan's Island" generation and the younger 'kids' who don't comprehend the passive media that has existed in previous generations. Good stuff there Mr. Chris - thanks for sharing Mrs. Chris. Now I'm going to go play with my mouse.

I just want to thank you for adding to my teenage boys' repertoire. Going forward, I will be quoting Spock in my everyday life. And so will the boys!
