Mario, Luigi and Yoshi get Fortune Cookies

I got Super Mario Galaxy 2 for my birthday a couple months back. I’ve been playing through it ever since, so this comic is especially funny for me right now.

A Sith Truck

Spotted this driving around OKC. Not as cool as the Mario turtle shell trailer hitch cover, but still…

Add me as a friend on foursquare

Are you on foursquare? Add me as a friend!
What is foursquare? According to Wikipedia’s foursquare article…
Foursquare is a location-based social networking website, software for mobile devices, and also a game. Users “check-in” at venues using a mobile website, text messaging or a device-specific application. They are then awarded points and sometimes “badges.”
Also, theoretically some places will give you discounts if you check in at their location, though I haven’t run into that yet.
Less than a week after Leann downloaded the iPhone app, she was Mayor of the Sonic closest to our house. Big surprise…
I’ve also replaced my MySpace link in the sidebar with my foursquare link. End of an era, or something like that.

Unusual Superman Posters & Artwork
Posted on July 22nd, 2010 @ 10:27 am
As a Superman fan, I see a lot of the same posters and artwork over and over again. I thought I would find some more unusual items online. Below you can see some of what I considered the more unusual posters and artwork I found. Some of them are officially sanctioned work, others are fan art, and others are obviously knock-offs.

Saw this awesome trailer hitch cover when some of us from work went to Starbucks earlier today. Elyssa commented that it should have been red.

A bad solution is no solution
Posted on June 3rd, 2010 @ 10:33 am
How many industries have a problem that has a generally accepted solution, but in reality the solution causes more problems?
Take doctors’ offices as an example. The industry has a real problem of patients being no-shows for doctor appointments. The “solution” that is general practice is simply to double and triple book appointments.
Unfortunately, that means that if everyone does show up, people have to wait much longer than normal. Recently I sat in a doctor’s office for about fifty minutes before I finally had to tell the receptionist I had to leave.
So what kind of a solution is that? No solution at all. Best case, it’s a temporary patch until a real solution can be found. But the medical industry has stopped looking for a better solution.
If your business has some generally accepted “solution” that seems to create more problems, here’s my advice:
Keep looking. If you find the right solution before everyone else, you’re the winner.
Kung Fu Bear is awesome

No, this isn’t Kung Fu Panda, but it’s probably the closest real-life thing.
