Deliverance » STUPID BUSINESS TRICKS
Posted 31 minutes ago

Mac Fanatic » Stunning Lego Photographs

Flickr user Balakov likes to take photos using Lego figures.  And not just any photos, Balakov actually recreates famous paintings, photographs, and scenes in painstakingly detail.  The attention to detail in his work is truly amazing and the result is wonderful.  I especially love the recreations of Star Wars scenes and the way Balakov has even went past the series and created scenes ...

I still can’t believe I got a new car this week. A year from now I’ll probably look back at the Subaru as a distant memory, as in “oh yeah, I used to have one of those.” Wow. The new car makes my long commute 10x better. I still can’t believe I got a new car [Link]

A few days ago, I remarked to my mother “gee, isn’t it nice how C has been sleeping so much better lately?” A while back we went to extreme measures to make a bedroom out of a closet here at the office. We darkened windows and built up the ambient noise, and we put a nice rocking chair in there ... [Link]

School shootings always are. 15 year old Ryan McDonald got up this morning, kidded with his grandmother, caught the bus and went to school — where he was supposed to be, doing what he was supposed to be doing. Somewhere along the line, he got crosswise with Jamar Siler in the cafeteria. Jamar pulled a gun from his backpack and ... [Link]

Just weeks ago, we were writing that violence can happen anywhere. In the aftermath of the deadly shootings at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, the thought was - if it can happen at a church, no place is truly safe. But even given that tragedy, I didn’t think it could happen again so soon. And certainly not at a ... [Link]
