Re: Fifth Gear Loop the Loop
Being several decades removed from physics and the formulas of scale, I was moderately shocked to learn that 36 MPH was the target entrance speed. Just as a guess, I would have thought at least twice that.
Fun clip to watch, thanks.

Re: Sarah Palin Book Signing: Interviews with Supporters
Nice 5*. But I am sure that many outtakes had some fairly intelligent responses.
I'm not suggesting that there is any quality to Palin that I admire other than her being an efficient exchanger of oxygen for carbon dioxide, but as amusing as this political piece is, it wouldn't take a Steven Spielberg to create a clip of Obama supporters who are lacking knowledge of the issues.

Re: Monty Python: Buying a Bed
Ahem. The name of the episode was "Full Frontal Nudity".
For the record? There is nothing wrong with admiration of breasts.

Re: What is Google Chrome OS?
Aside from the MS evil empire and poor handling of competition edicts, this is perhaps the single largest reason for me to have totally left the tech stage as a career.
Wow, centralized computing? Let's go back 30 years to dumb terminals and mainframes. Big iron, baby! Can anyone say PROFS? Nothing new; there are just two or three ideas that keep rotating slowly. Client-server architecture, no wait... fabric computing, err... STOP, we have thin client now. You tell me what's next.
I abstain from voting. This is just sick if you get excited about anything with a chip in it any longer.

Re: Johnny Cash: Ghost Riders in the Sky
Dunno bout the Star Spangled but I have always admired Cash for his story a bit more than his music. There were a few ballads that crossed over from C&W to mainstream AM radio when I was a kid. His guitar and unique voice were plusses also. But am I a fan? Nope. This song, however, I always liked.

Re: Johnny Cash: Ghost Riders in the Sky
"(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend" is a country and cowboy-style song. It was written on June 5, 1948 by Stan Jones. The tune (not the lyrics) bear a strong resemblance to the 19th Century Irish anti-war song Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye.
More than 50 performers have recorded versions of the song. Charting versions were recorded by Vaughn Monroe ("Riders in the Sky" with orchestra and vocal quartet), by Bing Crosby (with the Ken Darby Singers), Frankie Laine, Marty Robbins, and Johnny Cash. Other recordings were made by Peggy Lee (with the Jud Conlon Singers) and Spike Jones and his City Slickers. Gene Autry sang it in the 1949 movie, Riders in the Sky. Children of Bodom, The Outlaws and Die Apokalyptischen Reiter have also made covers.
According to Robby Krieger, it inspired the classic Doors song "Riders on the Storm." The Doors also covered Ghost Riders in the Sky.

Having worked in the PR industry at a high level (junior VP) for a few years, I saw how a well-written press release became as good as gold in many instances. Now I'm not trying to diminish the importance of the field but I do want to make it known that the casual observers need to exercise care.
Wow. armchair philosophy in action here. Please forgive me for taking such a somber tone.
