Did You Know?

Everyone in America should watch this, as a reminder (or an enlightenment) to how exponential these times are. Even 2.0 is outdated and it is less than a year old.

Did You Know? 2.0 is a follow up to Did You Know?. Original creator Karl Fisch says "this really isn’t a "sequel" to Did You Know, it’s just different." It was a collaborative effort with Scott McLeod and the creative help of XPLANE.

The original was also created by Karl Fisch. It started as a kick off presentation for the 2006 school year at Arapahoe High School in Centinnial, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.

the Root Beer Stand

Rejoice, for the Root Beer Stand opened today!!

I know you might be asking, "What should I have for dinner tonight?"

...the Root Beer Stand just may be your answer.

And yes, I know I'm lame for getting excited about hot dogs...
