Clark: Day Five
Holy cow, has the Blournal really become another proud parent blog?!? I know I need to stop, but I'm in love with my baby, my baby-momma, and my sweet camera that makes me look like a professional. Eventually the cutesy will turn down and the funny will go back up to 11. Promise.

Napping in Style
Clark decided to relax in style while we were giving Katie a little break from all her hard work. And who am I to not follow along?

Clark Jacob Sierer is Here!!!
Katie was absolutely amazing during the whole process and she's doing very well. Clark is really cute and so far very well behaved, which should change shortly if he's anything like his father...

So It's Been a While
I know I haven't been the best blogger lately, and reposting a video found on another site doesn't count as a post of my own, but you have to see this. Hil.Ar.Ious.

Santa's Real...Scary.
I'm not sure if this video is offensive, or just offensively funny. Either way, here you go:

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!!!

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?

AEM: Social Networking
I don't know how I feel about this week's AnEngineeringMind video. It felt a little scattered during the making, and I think it showed up in the finished product. We've got some good stuff coming, including a Carl sighting, but for now, let me know what you think:

Back in Action with a New Video
It's been a while since I've made An Engineering Mind video, and a few people have actually asked me this question. I can't tell if it's a compliment or insult, but either way, I like how the video ended up.
What do you think? Actor? Engineer? Low-life? Let me know!

Mea Culpa
So I've been a little less than active on the ol' Blournal lately, please forgive me. As you can tell from previous posts, I'm doing a lot of work with An Engineering Mind over the last few months, and it's been sucking away all my creative juices. I do have a few ideas for another installment of Bathroom Etiquette, so look for that coming soon.
For now, here's the latest video we made over at AEM and we'll be recording another video this Friday for display next week.

Will CERN Make a Black Hole?
There's been a lot of talk recently about CERN's Large Hadron Collider and whether or not it's going to end the world. My company provided a lot of hardware and software that they are using to control it, so from a PR standpoint, I'm really hoping the world doesn't end, 'cause we'll look really bad.
Here's what my engineering mind thinks about it:
Juice box anyone?
