Actually, its one video about Christmas and another about cycling, both of which made me say 'wow' at least 3 times each.
So here we go:

Self Healing Phone: The Future is Here
I'm always worried when I put my keys in my pocket along with my phone. Will I scratch my screen? Will everything drop out when I get a phone call? Will my ringxiety or hypovibrochondria cause me to grab for my phone to no avail?
Now there is an answer to at least one of my phone issues. Allow me to introduce to you, the self healing phone:
My only question here is - when will they have this on cars, boats and planes?

Zach Sobiech - May 3, 1995 – May 20, 2013 part II
Back in May I wrote "Zach Sobiech - May 3, 1995 – May 20, 2013" about Zach Sobiech, a teenager who had found out that he had a rare bone cancer.
As Adam Mordecai, the guy who brought Zach so much attention, says himself, but it could be about any of us writing about Zach in the blogosphere:
And here is the Celebrity Music Video of 'Clouds'
Got to go now, getting very dusty in here...

As Adam Mordecai, the guy who brought Zach so much attention, says himself, but it could be about any of us writing about Zach in the blogosphere:
"I'm sad I never got the opportunity to meet him. But 5,000 people who did know him got together to create a giant choir in the middle of the Mall of America. Then they sang his song, which debuted a year ago. The couple in the middle are his wonderful and supportive and brave parents. And I, once again, have become a weepy mess."

STOP! I am not a Justin Bieber fan!
He is here, and it looks like he is here to stay, so let's just watch this star and see just how quickly (or otherwise!) the star fades.

Go Jump Off A Cliff
This guy did and is kicking himself for it I'm sure!
As someone who has done a fair bit of rock-climbing and abseiling (rappelling) I can assure you that even the ending where he seems to be sliding, rather inelegantly, down the rock face, he is getting damaged no end!
And here is what BASE (building, antenna, span, earth) jumping should look like:

Miley Cyrus - You're Responsible
Dear Miley,
You know I love you, and will always do so, for your voice, for your attitude and for the fact that you enabled so many copycat videos that made me laugh.
Actually made me hurt myself laughing.
Miley, Growing Up Can Be Painful, but you made your coming of age, something that we can all smile at.
And the original, in full gloriousness

Say You'll Marry Me!
My good (real life) friend Ruth was proposed to recently - here's how he did it. Rather classy, if I do say so myself!
When I proposed to Mrs Jumblerant it was at a secluded spot in the desert, with candles adn champagne, and the unspoken threat that if she said 'no' she might be left there on her own...
8 years later and we're still together.
My blessings to you Ruth and Steven! So happy for you both.

Ward Miles - His 1st Year
I'm just getting over a nasty virus that had me out flat on my back for 3 days, so luckily I can now fit into my skinny jeans (as if!) and am catching up on my emails.
Amongst the detritus in my inbox I found this amazing video that admittedly, had me teared up, and I think you'll feel the same way it too:
Enjoy!

Noah - An Amazing New Film
An amazing film is being released soon. I say amazing in the pure definition of the word, not the overused, trite usage that teens today say every time something shiny comes along.
Admittedly it is mainly fiction, apparently, when Christian screenwriter Brian Godawa acquired a copy of the script in October 2012, he posted an evaluation on his website with the title "Darren Aronofsky's Noah: Environmentalist Wacko".
Comparing it to what is said in the Bible, he said "If you were expecting a Biblically faithful retelling of the story of the greatest mariner in history and a tale of redemption and obedience to God you’ll be sorely disappointed." He predicted that the film "will be rejected by millions of devoted Bible readers worldwide because once again it subverts their own sacred narrative with a political agenda of pagan earth religion that is offensive to their Faith."
Personally, I think it looks like a very interesting movie and might be a good way to get people to read the book that the story is based on...

a·maz·ing
əˈmāziNG/
adjective
- 1.causing great surprise or wonder; astonishing."an amazing number of people registered"
synonyms: astonishing, astounding, surprising, stunning,
staggering, shocking,startling, stupefying, breathtaking;
So what causes me to be astounded and surprised? Mainly the fact that someone has the foresight and cojones to actually make an epic film about Noah.
So who is in it?
Anthony Hopkins, Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Ray Winstone, and some other people, but those are the 4 that I'll be going to the cinema to see.
And here's why:

Password Puzzle
mail, local banking, original bank account, work computer, work email, Google Analytics, AdWords, Webmaster tools, LinkedIn general, LinkedIn Ads, Facebook. CMS as work.
Gmail. iTunes. Office WiFi. Car.
Just a few of the passwords / pass codes that I need to remember in my every day life.
Between you and me (please don't tell the world) the majority of access passwords are written down on scraps of paper and then pinned to my wall, that way, if someone wants to break into my Google Ads account then not only do they need to have an insane desire to do so, but they need to be in my office too!
Generic passwords are not my thing. Using 'Password' as a password seems a bit silly to me. Phone numbers mixed with dates or names are probably the best way to go. Or zip codes.
So here is a nearly plausible scenario about a standard recovery password.
Enjoy!
