David Copperfield was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday night but “despite being possessed of a large amount of cash, the illusionist showed nothing but empty pockets to armed gunmen who targeted him and two female companions Sunday night in West Palm Beach, Florida, police said.”
What would have been even better is if he made the robbers disappear a la the Statue of Liberty. You can’t make this stuff up. You just can’t…
Chevy recently ran a promotion with “The Apprentice” where people got to make their “own” Tahoe commercial by piecing together video clips of the Tahoe provided by GM and adding their own copy to that new montage. While there were a lot of the expected anti-SUV pro-environment entries, the one titled “Die Hippies Die” is obviously the very funny exception. Enjoy.

My friend Sam told me about DotNetNuke, a fully customizable and scalable open source web platform that I deem cool enough to share. It is exactly what I was looking for as I have been trying to figure out how to help my friend Steven take his Democratic Lawyer Council org to the proverbial next level. For my goals, its much better than doing something simple in Ruby.
At first, the idea of building 51 commonly themed web sites – one for each state plus one for the national chapter – each with their own special characteristics was a daunting proposition. After watching the 20 min video on what DotNetNuke can do, I’m really ready to fully geek out and try and change our country for the better. Sam and I are planning to use this platform to tackle a completely separate business idea. Man, it just keeps getting easier to do all the cool tech stuff I want and as I don’t love to code that much anymore, this platform makes me really excited. Check it out for yourself.
