This was my favorite part of the show:

Bello and I at Mt. Baldy - Opening Comments...

Deep thoughts on chair 3 at the start of our day on Mt. Baldy...

Status Hero - Because Enough is Enough

Status Hero - Because Enough is Enough: "Status Hero let’s the you write the comment you don’t have the balls to write under your friend’s status. Afterall, if you could leave an anonymous content on Facebook, there would be anarchy on there. That is what Status Hero is here to do."

Wonderwall by Oasis

Adding another song to my song book. When you break it down this actually looks pretty simple. It's really all about the strumming. This guys breaks down the strumming in a way that helps you build slowly up to the pace of the song. Good stuff.

Balls that clank...

Bear Grylls my ass... this guy is the real deal. Those photos are insane!

Surfer's Code by Shaun Tomson

A fantastic look into the mind of one of surfing's finest ambassadors. I had the pleasure of meeting Shaun at the Groundswell Society's Surfing, Arts, Sciences and Issues Conference in 2007 when he gave a presentation about an epic session he had down at J-Bay with Kelly Slater. It's nice to find a guy in the limelight that really does walk the walk...
in reference to:

""Over the last 37 years, I have traveled and surfed many of the world's best waves and have surfed with many of the world's greatest surfers. Some very special surfers have a unique connection with the ocean and a sense of how they fit into the universe. I have taken pieces of wisdom from these surfers, and other people, and have used them throughout my surfing life." "Hopefully, you may find these thoughts useful too.""

Rocket Surgery Made Easy

With an endorsement like this from Joel Spolsky himself, I'd be hard pressed to find a legitimate reason not to buy this book. Especially since my company (http://www.meetingsense.com) is moving into a usability phase right now...
in reference to:

"Steve Krug has written a follow up to his usability classic Don’t Make Me Think. The sequel, Rocket Surgery Made Easy, is a terrific, short, concise, fun guide to running simple “hallway” usability tests to improve the usability of your software and websites. Highly recommended."

Where it all started...

For some time now I've been interested in fitness and healthy eating. Being a surfer and fan of Laird's (putting it mildly...) I finally picked up his book. It was just the kick in the ass I needed to really dial in my nutrition and get serious about my fitness. I highly recommend this book to anyone that's interested in living a full life. It's a quick read and a lot of what he says, including his outlook on life, just makes sense.

Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham City Jail

Remarkable letter from an even more remarkable man. I share Tim's thoughts on how skillfully he acknowledged then deconstructed each of the points brought up by the clergymen...
in reference to:

"The verbal techniques, such as accepting the validity of emotions and arguments before deconstructing them, can be applied to almost all conflicts, whether in the boardroom, bedroom, or political battlefield."

Primal Blueprint - Big Ass Salad

Mark Sisson shows how to make his 2 minute salad in a video. While it doesn't show the prep time it takes to cut the veggies up and have them immediately available... it does look damn tasty.
