Artistic Savant

Stephen Wiltshire from London is a star among savants. Stephen is autistic. He did not speak his first words "pencil" and "paper" until he was 5. Yet, when he was 11 he drew a perfect aerial view of London after only one helicopter ride. In this film, Stephen draws an aerial view of Rome after one viewing. It takes him three days to draw what he saw for 45 minutes.

They call him the Living Camera. I watched this during a conference call and was blown away.

Things I Will Never Do

in no particular order:

- participate in an actual MMA fight (mixed martial arts)
- visit Afghanistan
- use the phrase "I'm just thinking aloud"
- cut off all contact with my children
- quit my day job to become a traveling folk singer
- eat poo
- cook any more Harley-friendly meals if the socks are not folded in the next 72 hours

F Bomb on Local News

Last night, during a "Medium" commercial break on NBC, there was an incident. Sue Simmons was doing a voice over and dropped the f-bomb. You may not know her name, but if you've ever watched NBC in New York, you know who Sue Simmons is.

Here's the video of the offending incident. We've been laughing about it at work all afternoon.


THIS JUST IN - Sue Simmons apologizes. Turns out they played the wrong video and she was yelling at the technician. She must not have realized they were live. That, or they played the wrong take. Either way, she seems like a total bitch!
