Living in the ol’ 3rd District, I felt morally obligated to share this video…
I think that given a rematch, Chaffetz would have a much better time… The key is to know your opponent.

Greatest Car Review Ever.
Now, Melissa tells me that I shouldn’t post stupid YouTube videos, so I won’t. I am going to post the most excellent YouTube video that I have ever seen.
In my next life, I want to do car reviews for the BBC.
Update
Apparently the BBC doesn’t like sharing…
Update #2
Same video, less pressure to bow down from the BBC.

I Ride Park City
I was watching I Ride Park City for the first time the other day and was pumped to see my friends the Lowders cabin in one of the segments. I thought that I would post it here for your viewing pleasure…
Vote…
Because Scarlett, and that dude from that Black Eyed Peas says too… Oh, and Obama.
American Stories, American Solutions
For a long time now, I have been supporting Barack Obama. I think that he is a great leader that supports people like me. That he has the best interests of normal people in mind. He supports industry, entrepreneurship, and technology. Yesterday, October 29th, Barack ran a 30 minute infomercial on seven major networks. I thought it was awesome. Aside from the exceptional production value, the real message hit home to me. Barack offers more then a change in leadership in the White House, he offers change that we all can believe in. Change in how we live as Americans.
For young people like me, we all need to take the time to vote. Even in one of the reddest states in the Union, Utah, we still need to hit the polls, and vote. If you missed the video last night, I have posted it below.
Obama – Biden: Change we can believe in
David Fincher’s New Film…
Nope, not Benjamin Button. David Fincher is one of my favorite directors. He is the guy that brought us Zodiac, Fight Club, and Se7en. He has now directed an awesome Nike commercial. “Fate” tells the life-long journey of pro football players LaDainian Tomlinson and Troy Polamalu as their destinies collide in an NFL football game.

Based on a concept by Wieden & Kennedy, the portland-based advertising agency behind some of Nike’s best campaigns (including Bo Knows, Spike Lee’s Mars Blackmon Air Jordan ads, Charles Barkley’s I Am Not a Role Model ad), the Bruce CVampbell Old Spice “Experience is Everything” ads, and Coke’s The Coke Side of Life campaign. Filmed by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (Sleepy Hallow, Ali, Great Expectations, Children of Men), edited by Angus Wall (Benjamin Button, Zodiac, Thumbsucker, Panic Room, and the creator iof the title sequences for Carnivale, Rome, and Big Love), and scored to a remix of Ennio Morricone’s “The Ecstasy of Gold” from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
A fantastic but unexpected commercial. The spot feels more like the work of Michael Mann or Peter Berg. When I think Fincher, I think smooth yet edgy, but as far as I can remember, Fincher rarely makes use of handheld camerawork (maybe in Se7en).
Juicy Fruit, and Waterskiing
File this under the, “IT HAD TO POSTED SOMEWHERE CATEGORY”.
Serious, how awesome is this video? The guy dock starting on the slalom, the sloppy double skiing, and the one dude that is doing the awesome barefoot skiing. Why is there always someone in the group infinitely better then the rest? (Looking at you Trent Guzy…)
Because it had to be shared somewhere….
What do you get when you cross a mini piano, a kazoo, and a ukulele?
This masterpiece.
