Forget the news, forget the pundits and the 10-second soundbites. If you want to understand where this president stands not to mention how much he has a grasp on the issues, then you should set aside a bit of time and watch this Q&A session he has with the House Republican caucus.
This was surprisingly civil and we can only hope that they really listened. I’m under no illusions that the GOP alone is to blame for the lack of movement on important legislation, and I’d like to see President Obama continue to take both sides to task for their childishness.
Am using my blog again as a way to ‘bookmark’ notes for myself, especially for storing documents that most social bookmarking sites don’t let you store. This time, it’s for a collection of foods that should be at the top of your shopping list.
In particular, these foods are supposed to promote healthy brain function. Of course, you should do your own reading and research, but this isn’t a terrible jumping off point. I really should have included all the sources that I referenced, but what’s interesting and reassuring is that they all overlapped greatly.
I condensed this list into a page so it’s just 1 sheet to slap up on your fridge or take with you to the store. I’ve included a PDF version as well as the original doc which I created using OpenOffice so you can edit it yourself.

The Cal marching band has obviously put in a great deal of practice into pulling off this really well choreographed tribute routine to some well known video games over the years. They start off with the very well known and obvious Pong, then Tetris and a few more including Super Mario. Of course, the music also matches the video games being portrayed. If you’ve ever played any video games and enjoy creativity in its various forms, this is worth a look.
