Interview: Russell Brand turns tables in unprofessional MSNBC interview.

Comedian Russell Brand makes an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.. Things don’t start off well when the host makes a few condescending remarks which is just the beginning of the downward spiral this interview takes.

Kudo’s to Russell Brand for staying interesting and funny in spite of the poor interview.. 5:30 it starts getting interesting when Russell takes over.

A visit to HEB Alon Market on a Saturday afternoon is a magical tour of food samples. Chili, Sushi, Wine, Cheese and more!

Loved the stop at the wine and cheese pairing sample station! Enjoy!

Programmer hacks Tetris to draw video game characters

From Mashable:

Programmer Michael Birken’s new way of drawing video game characters is probably more complicated than it needs to be, but all the more incredible for it.

Birken designed an algorithm that can place single blocks of color in Tetris by strategically building and destroying lines at lightning speed. Precisely place enough blocks, and you’ve got a made-to-order line. Stack enough lines, and the result is a pixellated picture of anything you want. Birken trained the program to build images of classic 8-bit characters like Mario, Link and Samus.

Just read the story of Zach Sobiech, a teen who was suffering from a rare form of cancer. He knew that he was reaching the end of his life and turned to music as a way to leave a message behind for his friends and family.

I got chills when I heard his song, “Clouds”.

Zach has now passed away.. RIP Zach Sobiech…

Rainn Wilson, Dwight Schrute of the office posted this FANTASTIC celebrity filled version of “clouds” to help raise awareness to the song and Zach’s Ostersarcoma Fund.

Chuck Muncie, NFL Legend and Livestreaming pioneer, dies at 60

Philip — Tue, 14 May 2013 23:06:38 +0000

Just found out some very sad news. A long time cool friend of NewTek, Chuck Muncie has passed away from a heart attack at 60 years old.

Chuck was know for his BEASTLY running on the field. Punishing any DB that dared tackle him… I got to know Chuck for a much different reason.. He wanted to help promote high school athletes by streaming their games to the web. He has been working with the top HS programs in southern California for the past few years helping those kids get maximum exposure for their talents.

Chuck Muncie will definitely be missed.

Here is a brief interview that I did with Chuck back in 2010
