Top Kill

May 26, 2010 No comments

If you’ve been paying attention to the oil spill crisis in the gulf, you know about the ‘top kill’ method they are considering to stop the oil leak.

Here’s a graphical explanation of how top kill works:

Last I heard, they just gave the approval to proceed – cross your fingers!

Does anybody else think it’s plain ridiculous that companies are allowed to create these spewing oil wells without having some sort of fail-safe?  And a fail-safe for that fail-safe?  And a fail-safe for that one too?  Considering the potential disaster of a leak, plan your fail-safes accordingly!

Have any of you seen this show?  It’s hilarious.  This is probably my favorite episode so far.

Mos Def & Lenny Kravitz

This song was created to benefit Gulf Aid, a non-profit organization to help with that recent oil spill in the gulf.

Side note: Mos Def never ceases to amaze me as an artist – not rapper, not musician, just artist.

Fob moment

I have this container full of Tootsie fruit rolls, because I LOVE this stuff.


There’s one flavor that is kind of odd though. Vanilla. Can anybody explain to me how vanilla is a fruit flavor? It’s not!

I don’t mind it so much though (even though it’s my least favorite flavor), because it reminds me of eating these as a kid.

Since it’s been so long that I’ve eaten one it’s hard to be sure, but the vanilla flavored Tootsie fruit rolls tastes pretty much the same as these white rabbit candies.  Totally weird and unexpected.

Beouf – it’s what’s for lunch

I made beouf bourguinon last weekend for Mother’s Day.  It cooked for about 7 hours… red wine, carrots, onions, garlic, beef broth and some herbs.  And endless straining through cheese cloth to get the sauce clean.

Now I’m eating it at work while watching Lost, minus the fancy presentation with the fingerling potatoes and carrots.

My 15 Minutes of Fame

On one of Slide Squad Dave’s trips to Japan, he stayed with Hiroshi Takahashi of Running Free fame.  Dave was living my dream visiting shops, the race tracks we would see in the magazines and videos, riding in famous drift cars, driving at touge…  and every once in a while he would send e-mail updates along with videos and photos he was taking.

This was one of my favorites probably.

And yeah – he is eating with both hands while driving.
