This is from the X Games recently in Los Angeles. Pretty freaking sweet if you ask me!

An amazing demo and one that would be hard to top by any other company.

So I can be all silly after I’ve had a few drinks.

For years now, I’ve had this obsession with always have zero unread emails. It drives me nuts to think about there being unread messages, so I go into the message to see what it is and either delete it or go back to the inbox.

While this promotes a clean inbox, it does pose one problem… I forget what emails need to be taken care of, meaning that if it was something that I was supposed to do, I might forget to take care of it. And it might be several days before I actually remember that I still needed to address the details in the email to the sender.

So this has prompted me to change how I read emails. I will be leaving the items that need to be taken care of as unread, so that I can go back and read them when I get the chance. This is going to take some training and already today, I’ve had to go back and re-mark several as unread because I see that bold counter and want to clear it.

Hoping this new way of email management will work because it could help as I start getting even more emails as I progress my personal writing and other business ventures I am pushing myself to do this summer.

As most who know me, know that I’m a big Howard Stern fan. And also, most that know me, know that I’m no fan of reality TV shows. I will watch here and there, but with Howard joining as a judge on America’s Got Talent, I must put my distate for these shows on hold while I see what kind of talent (or lack of talent) Howard will be judging. Here’s clips of him doing the promotion circuit on some talk shows this last week.

From the fine debut full album “Torches”, this is the official music video for the song “Houdini”

I like this song a lot… maybe not quite as much as “Helena Beat”, but it’s pretty damn close.

Speaking of Helena Beat, here’s the odd, yet highly creative video for that song.
