A light saber may be a more elegant weapon from a more civilized age
But I could learn to appreciate this kind of clumsy and random.
Do watch the video, with its impressive time lapse, and follow the link to the company site. Well worth your time.
I’ve discovered “Chi running.”
It works, and I’ve noticed almost immediate improvement. Apparently, this old dog was direly in need of a new trick.
While discussing running with a fellow in the gym, he turned me on to a running technique called “Chi running.” (more…)

Hollywood getting called out.
An open letter to Warner Brothers, Batman director Nolan, and Sean Penn:
Money quote:
Senseless? Really? If by “senseless” you mean carried out almost precisely from the scripts of your own movies, then, sure, it was “senseless.”
As for you, Sean Penn, you paragon of endless moralizing, we would like to thank you, too, for underwriting last week’s ultra-violence and real-life carnage at the movie theater. One of the last scenes that 6-year-old saw in her precious life was a trailer for your movie.
In the final clip of a trailer filled with orgiastic bloodshed, you have some classy “actors” with machine guns unload from behind a movie screen into a crowd seated in a theater, watching a film. Ring a bell, Sean? Sound familiar?
For those who want a quick-and-dirty program to tell the players in the main stream media, New York Times and Washington Post are ultra-liberal. New York Post and Washington Times are more conservative, or at least much less liberal.

Even armed thieves prefer unarmed victims.
In Florida recently: two armed bad guys attempt to rob a group of unarmed store patrons, and one armed good-guy. The bad guys had bigger guns, or so it appears in the video.
Yet when 71-year-old armed man, who refused to be a victim, started firing back, the bad guys were literally falling over each other to get out.
One can’t tell from the video how many of the senior citizen’s shots hit their target.
Dear Mr-71-year-old-armed-law-abiding-citizen, if you are reading this, please buy a bigger gun, and practice more. And God bless.
Maybe we can take up a collection, and send him some money for practice ammo and range time.
