Someone sent a blank email to everyone at work. No subject, and nothing in the body either. I guess they were writing about what was on their mind. So, I wrote them the following Haiku:

You can now buy Wii Fit in the United States. I think I will get it this weekend; it looks like a lot of fun. It has many exercise activities, and fun mini games, too.
If you don’t know what Wii Fit is, here is the ad.
There is a design out now to a can that you can open and reseal, which should help keep the carbonation in the soda. This would be handy, and by looking at the video, it should not make it any harder to recycle the can when you are done with it.

Soda Seal®" conceived by my Ukrainain client/friend, Johan DeBroyer. Patent file #US61/006,673. I designed the device and created the animation in Softimagexsi. More info is available at: http://www.davisadvertisinginc.com/sodaseal/
This reminds me. A while back, everyone was talking about soda cans that would be self cooling. You would open one, and it would lower the beverage temperature. Hot soda would get cool. No one seems to be selling pop this way, but people are still working on it. http://www.tempratech.com/chill1.html
Another poem I wrote. It sounds like it would be good in a greeting card.
Programs I code, programs I write, Until I am tired later tonight. I program for a living, that’s what I do. But there is more to life, and more to do.
Go for a walk, see the sky, Get something to eat, tell friends “hi!” Yawn a bit, take a nap, Read a book, on the phone yap.
Work I must, but fun I have too. And I hope, it’s the same for you.
I like this. A coffee table and game controller in one! You can read a detailed description of how he made it (as well as other video game related projects his done) on his blog: www.ultra-awesome.blogspot.com.
A while ago I decided I was running out of room for many many videogames and their boxes etc. (I'm one of those fanatics who insists on having everything with original boxes).
So I built this, to replace my current coffee table, it has space inside it to store game boxes etc.
Made from MDF and painted with a variety of oil based and acrylic paints.

A taxi, like kittens, purred next to my feet And on the cellphone I hear a loud dial tone And I don't know what to say It's possible that I truly love you
And it snows, and it snows On my cheeks it beats, it beats I'm very sick - a temperature I stand and wait for you like a fool I caught snowflakes in my mouth, very nicely A cool evening, nothing to do, There, where you are not And it snows
Gasoline is almost $4 a gallon now. Food prices are going up. House prices are going down. Is it the end of the world? No, we have been here before. Remember the 70's?
We had an energy crisis, and at times were only allowed to buy gas on odd or even days. (Based on the last digit of your license plate.) We had high inflation, and high unemployment. But, we still had our music!
Junior's Farm - Paul McCartney & Wings
Paul McCartney & Wings perform their single "Junior's Farm" on "Top of the Pops" in 1974.
Prices were going up.
I took my bag into a grocer's store The price is higher than the time before Old man asked me "Why is it more?"
And people looked for someone to blame.
Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President We all chip in for a bag of cement

Downtown – Petula Clark
Maybe going downtown will cheer you up. Or, at least the song will.
And you may find somebody kind- To help and understand you, someone who is just like you And needs a gentle hand To guide them along. So maybe I'll see you. There we can forget all our troubles, Forget all our cares. So go down town. Things'll be great when you're Down town. Don't wait a minute more Down town. Everything's waiting for you Down town.
On your mark, get set, and go now, Got a dream and we just know now, We're gonna make our dream come true. And we'll do it our way, yes our way. Make all our dreams come true, And do it our way, yes our way, Make all our dreams come true For me and you.
Baby's good to me, you know She's happy as can be, you know She said so I'm in love with her and I feel fine
Believe It or Not – Joey Scarbury
The theme song for Greatest American Hero.
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free eee eee. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me.

I did not read the comments the first time I saw this video. I could not tell that the person in the video had anything wrong with him; he moves so smooth.
This is the video for Rjd2's "Work It Out" from 'The Third Hand' (XL Recordings). The vid features Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. Though this may look like a recreational hobby or a debilitation, it is simply how Bill maneuvers throughout the day. In time to Rjd2's song "Work It Out" we follow Bill as he makes his way around. At the slow start, Bill is descending the courthouse steps in downtown Brooklyn. It's difficult, but he makes it down and the rest you'll just have to watch to understand. Rjd2 plays several extras which you can try to spot as well. The video, directed by Joey Garfield, is one continuous single shot for the length of the song.
