So, Uncle Sam is ready to release a new hundred dollar bill. Should we say w00t!? Forgive me for saying so, I seriously doubt it. First of all, who is paying for all this redesigning and retooling? Oh of course, we are, that would be the US Citizens. When I was a kid, I always thought that the U and the S, implies us. A naive view on what I thought democracy was.

Personally, I would have rather see them create some type of new value for this bill. The new bill doesn't impress me any more with it's looks any more than the old one. Rarely, have I even seen the the old ones. Like many, if not most of us, I seldom see more than a thin stack of twenties.

Like many or most, quarks rival the stay of currency in my wallet... Too little in and too much out. Honestly, put Mickey Mouse on the mo-fo and make it spend mo! That is the new bill I want!

This is nothing more than putting a wedding dress on a crack whore and claiming she is a lady of value. Seriously, we don't need a new hundred dollar bill. We need the old ones to be worth something.

I read this article over at Physics.org. It seem that there is a species of frogs that can tune their hearing. The summary also says that it is the only animal known to be able to do that. My observations have doubts about that. Observations are often the first step in understanding new correlations.

I have observed that parents have long been known to have the ability to tune their hearing. Unlike the frogs, I think it has more to do with post-eardrum processing. Regardless, I think we should study this matter further.

Remember the first time you asked Dad for the car? I know my father didn't hear me. There was silence, no acknowledgment... nothing.

I thought he had completely lost his hearing, seizing opportunity, I took the car. Apparently he did hear it start up. Unfortunately, convinced he was deaf and being a dumb sixteen year old with a one day old license, I didn't hear his screams over the burning rubber and revving engine. His hearing was perfectly normal in regards to me turn back into the driveway. Then, as I closed the car door, MY hearing was nearly ruptured by the verbal assault that ensued as if from one of the beast in the Book of Revelation.

Just curious, does any one know what happened to SuprGlu? I have been checking my page since Friday evening. (I hope it being a Friday the 13th had nothing to do with it.)

I have often, likely too often, gone off about how great a resource all of the Gnomoies are at Wyldryde.org in the various channels they host. One of them being the person behind this stunt. Before I saw that video this AM, I had already begun this draft. I decided to add this little intro because Chris Pirillo has been mentioned here before and, after viewing it, I just had to... too funny.---

Nonetheless, before Chris' production served as a drafting intermission, it had dawned on me that I have yet to mention one geek of lore here at Lumpy's Corner. Possibly, the worse "how could I ..." in Cyber-history. Actually, I have mentioned this individual here before but only in passing.

I have mentioned many a blogger, author, podcaster and tech gurus here. I mention a podcast almost every show over at Radiostatic.am.

So, a podcaster, an author, a blogger, a tech guru... hmm. He is all of that. Am I leaving anything out?
