This is great

I was born deaf and 8 weeks ago I received a hearing implant. This is the video of them turning it on and me hearing myself for the first time :)

More Traditional Blue Men

I have been going to see them for more than 20 years and I love that the show just keeps evolving so that it’s current.

This is brilliant:

Blue Men

I love the Blue Man Group because they’re smart & funny & their music rocks. My niece just turned 13, so I’m getting her tickets to go see them in NYC with a friend. I wanted to send her some links to videos so she got an idea of what they’re about & stumbled on this beautiful piece.

This is such a simple, gorgeous & emotional piece.

Yup, me too

Sounds about right.

‘Cat Scratch,’ The Turntable for Kitties

If you own a cat, there's little reason not to buy it its own record player

Fact: Cats will scratch everything in your home except the expensive purpose-made scratching post you bought them. Shredding a sofa is always better than following the rules for these devil-creatures, but that doesn’t stop the Cat Scratch Turntable from being 100% awesome (and probably 100% tacky).

The flat-pack decks are made from cardboard, and ship complete with a “pose-able tonearm.” Not that everything is guaranteed to go smoothly: you’ll notice that in the photo the cat is standing on the wrong side of the turntable.

As somebody who has lived with both cats and record players, often simultaneously, I can report that cats do indeed love to chase a spinning record and scratch the needle across its delicate surface. So there’s a fair chance that kitty might relax her usual haughty rules and deign to play with this cat toy. And if not, who cares? The kit costs just £15 ($23), which is worth paying, just for the pun-tastic name.

A Victory for the Gay Agenda

You know the agenda; to serve in the military and get married. Subversive stuff.

It’s amazing how many discharged military personnel want to rejoin. Incredible people.

Anti-Gay Christian Right-Wing Activist Says ‘There’s No Proof’ LGBT People Exist

Linda Harvey

Linda Harvey, the founder of Mission America, says that LGBT people don’t exist. She made the comments during her weekend broadcast while she was attacking the Gay, Lesbian, And Straight Education Network.

Harvey was particularly perturbed by the GLSEN Sports Program which works towards “creating and maintaining an athletic and physical education climate that is based on the core principles of respect, safety and equal access for all students, teachers and coaches regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.”

Harvey believes there is no need for such a program because according to her, there is no proof that LGBT people exist.

Harvey: “There’s one big fact that’s not backed up. There is no proof that there’s ever anything like a gay, lesbian or bisexual or transgendered child, or teen or human. One of the other things you’re gonna see as I mentioned is a big campaign GLSEN’s gonna roll out this year calling for ‘respect,’ respect! Not just for people, but for homosexual lifestyle. The PR campaign to hold up gay as a good thing: the lifestyle, not the person, because there are no such humans.”

Mission America’s major area of focus is homosexuality from a conservative Christian viewpoint, particularly as it relates to American youth. It also opposes the influence of Pagan and feminist spirituality, and provides a range of apologetics for Christianity.

Linda Harvey is hateful and in denial. There are many LGBT people in the public eye who are living proof that gay people exist like Rachel Maddow, Barney Frank, and Ellen DeGeneres, just to name a few. If you are part of the LGBT community, feel free to contact Harvey and her organization to let them know that you exist.

Michael Moore visits our corporate campus

He started off with a Steve Jobs quip & then mentioned that this is the first time he had ever been asked to speak at a corporate headquarters. He said he stopped at Men’s Warehouse to get a jacket to wear to speak to us and that we were dressed like we belonged in Nirvana (yes, old, hokey, Seattle reference – but we are a bit of a sloppy crew).

Talk was entertaining and inspiring, as I expected. He is very passionate and surprised me with his talk about how all religions talk about taking care of the less fortunate. I just didn’t expect any religion to come from him – it was very interesting.

Sorry for the blurry videos – my camera didn’t want to focus very well on him – but you can get the gist. They’re each about 1 minute long.

On Jesus’ influence on his thinking:

On how we are going to be viewed in the future:

On the US being #1:

On Bill Gates:

Totally going to see this flick when it comes out

Headline of the day: Seemingly drunk Swedish moose found stuck in tree

STOCKHOLM (AP) – A seemingly intoxicated moose has been discovered entangled in an apple tree by a stunned Swede.

By Per Johansson, AP

A seemingly intoxicated moose is discovered entangled in an apple tree by a stunned Swede in Goteborg, Sweden, late Tuesday.

Per Johansson, 45, says he heard a roar from his vacationing neighbor's garden in southwestern Sweden late Tuesday and went to have a look. There, he found a female moose kicking about in the tree. The animal was likely drunk from eating fermented apples.

With the help of police and rescue services, Johansson later managed to set the moose free in part by sawing off tree branches.

But the animal appeared confused and wandered into Johansson's garden, where she was still resting Thursday.

Other neighbors in the Goteborg suburb Saro had seen the animal sneaking around the area for days. Johansson said the moose appeared to be sick, drunk, or "half-stupid."
