Friday's Notes - The Blues

1) It's true...

2) Look Around You - one video out of a brilliant "educational" series from England:


3) The alternate version of Darth Vader's death scene at the end of Return of the Jedi - I personally hope they include this in the 3D version:


4) The Super Simple Secret  to Great Ideas - by Jon Acuff.  It's one of those things where you smack your forehead and declare, "Of course!" but it's not something we commonly think about.

4) The Fringe Opening Credits Done In the Style of Firefly  A mash-up of two fantastic TV shows.

It's Friday!  Time for the weekend, time to rest, right?  WRONG.

This is what I'm getting ready for....
