Good message from West Wing, re: #gifford shooting

We're not enemies.

Exposition of Jared Lee Loughner

This was ridiculous. My first reaction is here: http://tdhurst.com/public-exposition-jared-lee-laughner

Below is the Vimeo version of the five Jared Lee Loughner videos from YouTube and his one favorite video.

Best description of Yoshi...ever

Totally copied from Dorkly.com. So awesome. Part of a series on best and worst versions of sidekicks.

Finally, a sidekick that would swallow anything. Uh, I mean, a sidekick that would let you ride it all day long. Crap! I mean – a sidekick that could really take a pounding. I MEAN A SIDEKICK THAT WOULD ALWAYSCOME AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME! OH GOD, WHY CAN’T I STOP?! …Yoshi was a good sidekick and a dinosaur. He could eat enemies, had a variety of abilities depending on his color, and Mario could sacrifice him for an extra jump over long chasms. That is all.

Free your writing and the rest will follow

I just finished reading Accidental Genius by Mark Levy. The book explains and gives examples about the concept of free writing, which is unedited, often unpunctuated and always unstructured writing that's said to be able to unlock ideas and solutions that exist just beyond the clouds of our minds.

I wrote the rest up at tdhurst.com

I'm ready to take my talents to a bigger market.

Let's face it, the sun in Phoenix is nice and all, but this is the JV. I've done of ton of good here by connecting businesses, sharing ideas and helping people understand that magic that good stories bring with them.

I'm a 24/7 workhorse. I blog from bed, check Twitter anywhere I have web access and am on more beta lists than I can keep track of.
I've been a product reviewer for Fresh Pair, Sumo Lounge, TNT and a host of smaller firms. I was also flown to NYC courtesy of JetBlue for a holiday party because I'm one of those influential types.

I want to create awesome. How can I help you do that?

Reprehensible behavior from Phoenix Government

I hope that this story is not completely true.
