by dancing around to another RAC track.

this one is a remix of “That’s Not My Name”

superhappyfunfunmusic

it was just released…a great excuse to still have Ting Tings on your playlist.

…and i still can’t get that big pink song out of my head…

btw, here’s a 30% coupon for foot locker this weeekend.
hmmm..new sneakers…

today’s song of the day comes from the new basement jaxx album…

but it’s nothing like “Romeo.”

this one is mellow.

it’s called “A Possibility.”

it’s been too long.

today’s song of the day is “Dominos,” by The Big Pink.

can’t get it out of my head.

for you.

headed back to cali…

today’s song of the day is mellow travel music.

It’s the Gillian Welch/Conor Oberst cover of “Lua” from Dark Was The Night.

this one makes me sad

…and the original is amazing…but you already knew that.

And, I couldn’t mention that album without sharing the bon iver track, “Brackett, WI”

enjoy

had to play catchup w/ my initial draft of the book and work stuff…but the song of the day is back…

such fresh beats for you.

here’s one right here:

“Make Her Say”

it’s from kid cudi’s new album — and it’s fun.
i’m dancing around to it right now…

btw, went to Lucha Vavoom last night…luchadores and burlesque…fun.

but the song is fun.

crookers.
put your hands on me.

i’ve been a fan since long before the kid cudi remix…and this video does not disappoint.

such a fun song….

here’s the beataucue remix

even after that south swell, and after wakeboarding and nascar in atlanta last weekend…that game was so much fun.

i hate to say it…but i am starting to dig football

btw, here’s a quick shot from the suite at nascar…definitely the best way to watch the race.

dawn patrol crew in between sessions

i’d never thought that i’d be glad to see the swell drop off…but after all of the surfing that we’ve been doing…my body needs the rest (but not too much — a day or two)

trestles, salt creek, newps, mag-hurst, point, north side….at least 6 hours each day….we got it good.

in case you didn’t get the joke on april fool’s day — the one about obama also getting LEED certified was a good one.
i may not be the leader of the free world…but i can build a green building

“The White House announced today that President Obama passed the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED NC v2.2 accreditation examination, and is now a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP). White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that the President got his AP because he strongly believes that green building and the LEED system are critical to stimulating a green economic recovery, reducing the country’s dependence on foreign oil, and mobilizing the international community to meet the challenge of global climate change.

“Becoming a LEED AP is one of the proudest accomplishments of my life” said President Obama. “I decided that now was the time to get my AP, especially in light of the upcoming changes to USGBC’s credentialing system… Green building is right for our economy, right for our health care system, and right for our future. LEED points the way towards the development of truly regenerative and sustainable communities, and now that I have my AP, I’m confident that I’m prepared for the job of rebuilding our country”, the President added. “I learned all about LEED from my daughters Sasha and Malia, who attend the Sidwell School, the first LEED Platinum certified school. Malia persuaded me to become a LEED AP; she even registered me for the exam herself.”

USGBC CEO Rick Fedrizzi congratulated the President on this outstanding achievement. “It’s impressive that President Obama found the time to study for and pass the exam while evaluating and making tough policy decisions about the nation’s financial and automobile industry crises, the situation in Afghanistan, and preparing for his trip to the G20 summit”, said Mr. Fedrizzi. “Many others study for months, and have difficulty passing the first time. USGBC is proud to count Mr. Obama as the first President of any country as a LEED AP”, added Mr. Fedrizzi.”

Sometimes, I worry, though, that what oil money is to Russia, our ability to print money is to America. Look at the billions we just printed to bail out two dinosaurs: General Motors and Chrysler.

Lately, there has been way too much talk about minting dollars and too little about minting our next Thomas Edison, Bob Noyce, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Vint Cerf, Jerry Yang, Marc Andreessen, Sergey Brin, Bill Joy and Larry Page. Adding to that list is the only stimulus that matters. Otherwise, we’re just Russia with a printing press.

We might be able to stimulate our way back to stability, but we can only invent our way back to prosperity. We need everyone at every level to get smarter.
