Stuff I've been missing, and a fun video

Lots of things running through my mind these past few weeks. While exciting, I have a really important project going on at work that is consuming most of my idle thoughts. People camping out on Wall Street in protest of crimes committed by some of the biggest banks and, this weekend, at places all across the nation including here in Kansas City at Liberty Memorial. Facebook is changing the way we think about social networking.  The change is so radical and fresh that I now take a real interest in curating my online identity, which, while annoying at times, is a really good thing to do. Republicans are busy bloviating while President Obama is making promises again. Government shutdown scares. Typhoon in my family's home country, the Philippines. Premiere week on television and the end of summer.

Wow, plenty going on. Taking some time this weekend to get away for a bit. Should give me time to write about my thoughts on some of the things that have happened lately. Until then, here is a video favorite of mine. Enjoy!

Tragedy at the air show

Last weekend didn't really turn out that well. I went to the KC Air Show to enjoy some fantastic aerobatics and a much anticipated pyrotechnics show. I was able to see some impressive aerobatics but the whole event was cut short when Bryan Jensen, pilot of The Beast, lost control of his bi-plane, crashed into the ground and was enveloped in a gruesome fireball.
