The REAL 2010 Olympics Medal Scorecard
So Team USA is doing really good in the Olympics this year. Congrats to them. At 36 medals we seem to have a solid lead! However, I’ve got one peeve. A bronze medal isn’t a gold medal.
Obama would be happy with the United States just getting bronze medals probably. However, any real winner knows that gold is the one that really counts.
Thus, I keep my own scorecard and share it...

A Lucky Dragonfly - God's Grace
Lately I’ve been feeling like this dragonfly, just barely escaping destruction…
[totally dependent on God’s amazing grace]
This dragonfly probably doesn’t deserve to live another day…but he got another chance.
[don’t take for granted that you’ve been given one more day]
For those of you who can’t get to YouTube, source file is here.

The Albatross - Port Blue EP (Owl City)
We all love Owl City and Adam Young, but few people are aware of Adam Young’s OTHER bands that he’s started up in past years! Port Blue is just one of many of his groups.
The Albatross from Port Blue is an instrumental ambiance EP that is pure substance for dreams and floating on a hammock. Ranging from simplistic to deep, this is a really cool album. It makes me long for springtime...

2010 Olympics - Ice Dancing Portraits
You would think with the millions of dollars spent on preparing for the Vancouver Olympics, someone would have taken the time to gather REAL athlete portraits for the website.
Unfortunately, nearly every picture was a crapola blurry mugshot in front of a white cinder block wall. My iPhone takes better pics than these!
Here are the pics of ice dancers from the NBCOlympics.com site:

Tiger Woods' Apology - What He's Missing
Just finished listening/watching Tiger Woods’ apology to the entire world for his adultery. While everyone seems to sympathize for the guy and felt his anguishing pain through the gooping apology, I thought Tiger missed the point on it all.
He looked crushed, wore out, yet filled with Tiger Woods’ pride as he apologized to everyone in the entire universe. He begged that the media...

20 Then and Now Photos: Looking into the Past from...
Sometimes the contrast between past and present is stark…sometimes subliminal. Photography captures such abstract entropy and evolution.
I came across a variety of pictures that featured a vintage photograph held over a modern landscape. I’m not sure what genre of photography they call this, but I think it’s a really cool idea:

'Fireflies' Cover by Sam Tsui
This is impressive. Very, very impressive. Anyone who can do their own backup vocals like this deserves a little praise:
I’m not sure about this guy’s manliness though. His voice is a few steps higher than the average male’s - performing virtual, vocal splits with his larynx.
No matter, enjoy it at face-value and share if you have other examples of great musical...
