Happy Independence Day! We've got some new videos of the kids below.
Today's phrase:
From Mark Twain:
Actual:
Un hombre con una nueva idea es un loco hasta que la idea triunfa.
Phonetic with emphasis on bold syllable:
Oon ohm-bray cone oo-nah nway-vah ee-day-ah ess oon low-coe ahs-tah kay lah ee-day-ah tree-un-fa.
Translation:
A man with a new idea is a crank until he succeeds.
For a long time the United States was considered a crank in the international community. Sometimes that is the case today. I don't think that's a bad thing.
Blog Recap

-Journalists tend to favor Democratic candidates by a wide margin.

Dragon
It seems like this movie is on every time I am in Marco Island, but I just watched Dragon, the Bruce Lee biopic. I am no Bruce Lee expert, but I love this movie. Just thought I'd mention that.
Which is next?
Entertainment Weekly pitches some ideas for the next big '80's toy revival a la Transformers.
Rat
An interview with Ratatouille director Brad Bird. I watched a 9 minute video on the Disney website and found it very enjoyable. It's gotten good reviews and good box office.
Fountain
Lacy and I watched The Fountain. It is visually stunning and well-executed, if difficult to understand. Eric Snider's review is a good one. This Wired article talks about some of the technology involved in making the film. That aspect of the film made it worth watching to me.
Bridges
An interesting celebrity website, actually done by the celebrity, Jeff Bridges.
Storing Food
We like to cook, and this is a very helpful listing of how long food stays fresh.
Link of the Day
Have you ever watched the Discovery Channel show The Deadliest Catch? If not you should. It is a fascinating and enthralling show, where the men involved work in extraordinarily difficult conditions for a prized catch. This is an interview with one of the ships' skippers.
