Google circa 2014

I have no idea who these guys are - but this short animation of the shape of things in the year 2014 is both awe inspiring and scary. It talks about the evolution of Google, its epic battle against the traditional information sources - like the New York Times and with its adversaries like Microsoft and Amazon. Well, I won't give away the ending - see for yourself.

Some great quotations about Cycling

Quote:Unquote: "'Nothing compares to getting your heart rate up to 170-something, riding hard for an hour-twenty, getting off and not hurting, as opposed to 24 minutes of running, at the end of which I hurt. When you ride a bike and you get your heart rate up and you're out, after 30 or 40 minutes your mind tends to expand; it tends to relax.'
President George W Bush"

King of the Hill - TV Series - TV Tome

King of the Hill - TV Series - TV Tome: "King of the Hill is another animation hit for Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge, who also voices the starring character Hank Hill, a propane gas salesman in the fictional town Arlen, Texas. Hank is often besieged by the idiosyncrasies of society, but he finds (some) serenity in his home-life with his wife, substitute Spanish teacher Peggy, his awkward son Bobby and his live-in niece-in-law Luanne Platter. Adding flavor to the ordinary dish the series serves are Hank's friends, divorcee military barber Bill Dauterive, paranoid Dale Gribble (with an obsession with Government conspiracy theories) and gibberish spouting Boomhauer."
