The Final Word for the 2008 Cougars

I know this "dub-over-Hitler-to-make-light-of-a-catastrophic-failure" clip has been done 1000 times already, but it sure describes how the Cougar Nation is feeling right now.



I hate the U.

An Engineer's Thanksgiving

We had to take out a pretty funny joke that turned out to be culturally insensitive. I still like how it turned out!




Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Today's Big Game

I won't be able to watch the game today, and I'm not sure I want to know how it will end up. But this picture makes me happy, regardless of the result.

Go Cougars!!!

This Can't Be Ignored

I found the coolest website in the history of the Internets and I have to share. It's a compilation of Scandinavian dance bands from the 70's and it's incredible. In the USA it used to be about bowing leagues and matching shirts, in Sweden it was all about having your own dance band.

You can find over 50 of these images here.

It reminds me of a Scandinavian disco instructional video:




Can you move like that?

I Am Officially Scared

Wow. This is creepy-accurate, and it really makes me nervous. This guy bet "doomsday" in all his on-air interviews about the economy and was right. At the same time, he could have been guessing. Maybe it won't continue to decline. What has me nervous is the amount of disgust he received from the other "experts" being interviewed.

I agree with Peter Schiff in the sense that we spend and spend and spend and we don't really save or produce. We are too extended on credit as individuals and as a nation, and we should be careful not to scoff at the idea that things may get a lot worse before they get better.

Should I be selling all my stocks and hiding my savings in the mattress?

Kids and Engineering

This one is the result of an email I got from a high school math teacher in Colorado that stumbled across An Engineering Mind videos on Youtube. What do you think?
