Summer!

Definitely summer time.

Is everyone eatting snowcones and chasing fireflies yet? Or perhaps floating down a river with a keg strapped to a float, showing off your brillant engineering/ducktape skillz?

It's a cool 97 degrees here in Texas and I'm starting to enjoy the summer time. Already hit the casino in Oklahoma and the lake for some party barg'in. Next up is patio barbq's and beers (aka bur's).

So what you are you doing this summer?

I'll tell you what I'm not doing.

Megan Fox.

God I hope Cassie doesn't read this blog.

Pretty darn good movie. I bought the DVD. Its... different from your average movie.

Music: Clair de Lune

So relaxing.

So lately I've been educating a friend of Cass's on all the movies she's missed. Keeping a relatively short story even shorter; I've told her that she has to watch a movie of my choosing each night she's hanging out with us. The first one we watched was Wanted. At the end, the main character says "What the F have you done lately?"

She (Cass's friend who we'll call D) liked that part of the movie--something to think on. What HAVE you done lately, taking into account your life? For most people (who live monontonous lives) it gives us sudden realization of the potential they hold--of the oportunities we haven't taken--and well it makes you depresed.

Seeing how D liked those types of movies (makes you think about something you've never thought on), I popped in a classic: The Boondock Saints. As most of you who have already watched it, and seeing the title, you might know where I'm going with this. At the end of the movie, a reporter goes around asking people on the street what they think of them. I'd like to pose the same question to the two people that read my blog: "Would you be against someone going around shooting 'bad' people?"Judge, jury, and executioner all rolled up into one.

There seems to be three camps: 1) "Hell Yeah!" 2) "No, that's wrong" and my favorite 3) "No comment"

D picked camp 3, that looser.

I end this post about an interesting thread by Tracer76. Do you think the internet will stop being free and it will eventually turn into an itunes like cost model? And do you think it's the RIGHT thing to do? For those of you who haven't followed the Net Neutrality debate, Google 'Net Neutrality'.

Makes you wonder what the world will be like in ten years.

Wave the Coupe baby

I'm going to try and come up with a trailer and a music video for every post moving forward. We'll see how it goes--seeing as to how (in)frequently I post up, it shouldn't be that hard.

The trailer is for a movie called 9. Looks fantastic. Saw it a ways back when it first hit the internet. Can't wait until it hits theaters (9/9/09).

The music is by Gotan Project, one of my favorite bands, called "Mi Confession". Love it.

Anyways, what to blog about...?

Well let's start off with Wave. It's google's new little 'beta' project that has a LOT of potential. If you haven't checked it out already, I'd highly recommend watching the whole video. I know, it's long, but IMHO it's well worth it. The applications of such a tool is pretty wide. I can see myself using it daily. I wonder what will happen to gmail? And what about sites that rely on advertisement? This would circumvent it. Very interesting to see what the adoption rate will be. What are you're thoughts on it?

Special thanks to intelguy for posting it up.

Next up has to be the car I'm thinking about getting. Now before you start rolling your eyes about the time I wanted the hardtop convertible Miata (I know, I know, what was I thinking?), give me a chance.

So it's a Hyundai....

I lost you already didn't I?

Genesis Coupe.

V6 that puts out 306 ponies and starting at 25K. For the price, and for what you get, I think I'm in love. I'm waiting for the 2010 model which will (allegedly) have the GPS. Which leads to the discussion manual vs. automatic. Well as nifty as it would be to shift around that winding road near my parents place (BTW: awesome), I'm lazy. I'm not a hard core enthusiast so I'm OK with taking the man-card-hit and go automatic. Here is a great quick clip:

Go on. Drool. I know I did.

Or maybe you are still rolling your eyes saying "Hyundai!?!?"

Now half of you are saying this because of the brand's reputation (in the 90's). I insert (in the 90's) because the company has really turned around and their warranty is pretty darn good. The other half of you are nearly salavating at the mouths like a rabid dog because it's not an American company. So here is my take on it:

America is a capitalistic country. Capitalistic country means your success/failure is (for the most part) all your doing. So for the (insert American) car companies out there that didn't change with the times, and couldn't take the competition--why would I do business with them when their product isn't as great as a 'foreign' company? A guy I know at work, who is gun-ho about America (F#$k Yeah!), practically blew a casket when he heard what my next car will (probably) be. Why? Maybe it's the whole isolationism vs. interventionism. Or maybe it's because I'm a young 20 something year old and nieve. What do you guys think?

OK, long enough post. Hurry up and comment.

I'm working on this editing software with little luck. Anyone know of any free, intuitive, software for video editing?

Also, what's the thing about music and copy righted material?

Post up comments if you have any questions you want answered via YouTube (or PM me). Perhaps this is the future of Ask Root column.... maybe.

Until next time users,

Next Ask Root post is coming.... definitely in time before the next newsletter so fear not! We will also be having a few Special Edition posts. Will get into those later (if I hadn't already, can't remember and too lazy to look back)

Chicken. Who doesn't like chicken?

Do you know why they call movie trailers trailers? I mean they aren't at the end of the movie. That's right, they use to be at the end, and 'trailers' have just stuck. True story.

So the GF sends me this youtube link and says it's her new favorite show, that we HAVE to go watch it when it comes to theaters. I figured it was some chick flick. And then I remembered she said the same thing about Shoot'em Up.

I love my GF.
