Marquese Scott Is Best Break Dancer EVER!

They always say the best make it look easy. This guy is ridiculous! Seriously? No video editing?!? ARE YOU SURE???

As a poor white boy who used to break to everything from Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force to Jam On It by Newcleus, we used to watch Electric Boogaloo I and II to try and learn new stuff. I have NEVER seen a dancer so unreal as Marquese.

I’ve already watched this 4 times… going back for more. (H/T to Lewis at LimeWedge.net)

Welcome to the Dojo 9/12/11

Never need to retune your guitar again with Evertune. Yeah, that sounds like a commerical but I don’t care… how cool is that?
  1. Evertune
    Keep your guitar in tune forever. Yes please! Invention of the Year Award too.
  2. Florida Man Sets Blood Donor Record
    A simple idea combined with dedication has likely made the difference in hundreds, if not thousands of lives. John Sheppard is a hero!
  3. He saves comrades, gets medal, shrugs
    A story like this doesn’t get enough run. Instead we idolize self-centered sycophants. I wish more people were like Matt Blain. Perhaps we’ll send all of our kids through the military whether they want to or not.
  4. Man Makes Movie Magic with Trees and Trash Cans [video]
    Dude certainly has a knack with realistic sound effects.
  5. Tiny Oxygen Generators Boost Effectiveness of Anticancer Treatment
    Pure oxygen. Even a non-scientist like myself undertands why it would help. Won’t be long until we all sleep in oxygen tents. Bank on it.

Welcome to the Dojo 8/13/11

Prayer works…
  1. Oregon Boy Survives 20 Minutes Underwater
    We will not know for certain but it could very well be that the prayers of those on the beach saved this boy’s life.
  2. Good Samaritan Finds $16,000, Returns It To Owner
    The world needs more people like this. And our media needs to report stories like this more often!
  3. India’s Tata group to sell $700 flat-pack house
    Low income housing for realz! But where do you put it?
  4. Study Shows Good Posture Makes You Tougher
    And here I thought it just made me more attractive to the opposite sex?
  5. Churches open walls to art
    It’s a reaching out that shows the world you value them, what they like and ultimately shows them love.

Welcome to the Dojo 7/21/11

Take her to the rack Gertrude!
  1. Grannies Practice for Basketball Tournament
    Gam Gam gots game…. lookout!
  2. New app allows your unborn child to choose his/her name
    Screw parameters! Babies should have free reign to choose names like, “Gurglegorp” or “Fsizerbak”.
  3. The Costs of Compulsory Education
    I’m down. Indoctrination is a dish best served in the guise of a gift.
  4. Why WSJ Mobile App Gets ** Customer Reviews
    Sometimes usability isn’t as easy as you might think. Big boys WSJ failed.
  5. This is why your website sucks
    He’s right, most Web sites do suck because people build them for too many competing causes, then make them worse by either not updating to tacking things on in ridiculous places. Argh!

Welcome to the Dojo 6/20/11

Can you believe someone built this? Oh sure. But do they live there?
  1. The World’s Most Awesome and Amazing Houses in Lap of Nature
    OH MY GOOTNESS!
  2. Kobe Bryant fined by the NBA for shouting a homophobic slur
    Look, I dislike Kobe as much as most non-Lakers fans (and people who generally opposed rape) but when did our country become so thin skinned? Calling someone a name might offend the person being called the name but the rest of the world should just shut up and grow up.
  3. Commendation for regular guy, rising to rescue
    THIS is the stuff the news should be spending time covering. Robert Casey is a hero. Yuri Mikalixen is a scumbag who deserves to be castrated. Booyah!
  4. An Experiment in Modern Recruiting News
    Oh yeah baby… everything on the Internet is true, er… except when they tell you it’s not. Thanks Jonathon Paige!!
  5. Louisville One of the ‘Top Cities to Raise a Family’
    That’s why we’re here. No wait, that’s not why. Louisville is great because we’re here!

I Make All Things New

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

Gorgeous photo of a beach

Incredible Time Lapse Photography

The Mountain from

The Mountain from TSO Photography on Vimeo.

When I look into the painted sky
I see so many colors
They’re all a part of your design
It’s such a brilliant display

I love the way the stars shine for you
And every single mountain bows down
I love the way the universe is singing your song
So I’ll try to sing along

Not sure how anyone can see this video and thing that our world happened by accident.
