350 Is The Upper Limit "If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted... CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 385 ppm to at most 350 ppm." Jim Hansen, NASA
“In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis’ legendary LSD no-hitter…
Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.
Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.”
I just twittermet an all-around nice guy with a fantastic site. (For all you tweeps out there, here’s where you can find @Dan Martell.)
Whether you tweet or not, you’ll want to click that 1st link. Especially if you’re interested in well-written, informed content about starting up and running your own company.
Dan’s done it. His thinking is clear and he knows how to write. I spent alot of time there when I found it.
When I’m deciding who to follow on twitter, I nearly always go to the site listed in the bio. When I got to Dan’s site, I found this video embedded in a post halfway down the page.
It’s Will Smith, and he’s actually got the 2 Keys to Life. Take 2 mins to listen. Check it out…
Running and Reading.
It is that simple. Run. Read. Repeat.
The 3 R’s.
Thanks, Dan. Looking forward to getting to know you.
Found this via a tweet from Nancy Hennen aka @ViewsNews – I highly recommend you follow her tweets. She’ll do her best to keep you up with the (real) news of the day, plus anything that’s got a good fun-factor.
The video was posted to the web by @Jared Lyon, who writes this on the hosting page:
This video was created for Imagine RIT, an annual festival at Rochester Institute of Technology focused on creativity and innovation of its students, faculty, and staff. It was created by myself and two coworkers.
The cardboard man at the beginning who kicks the first domino is RIT President Bill Destler, who started the annual festival at RIT in 2008.
Inspiration for the video came from some of my favorite videos including the Sony Bravia balls, paint, and rabbits commercials; the Honda cog commercial; the Guinness ‘Tipping Point’ commercial; and all of FlippyCat’s domino videos on YouTube.
Special thanks to everyone in RIT University Publications who helped with setup and cleanup.
Thanks Jared. And thank you Nancy. You were right… this is one of the best Domino setups I have ever seen.
