Ryan Giggs: My Life, My Story

I just got it on the mail earlier today and I am reading the foreword by Sir Alex Ferguson. Two paragraphs in, there's this:

But there's one accolade which has yet to materialise, although I trust it is only a matter of time before it does. How I would love to adorn my teamsheet with the words 'Sir Ryan Giggs'.

How so, very true. I'm glad to know that Sir Alex shares our point of view. If any sports figure deserves it, it's Giggsy!

Zach Wahls Speaks About Family

Zach Wahls, a 19-year-old University of Iowa student spoke about the strength of his family during a public forum on House Joint Resolution 6 in the Iowa House of Representatives. Wahls has two mothers, and came to oppose House Joint Resolution 6 which would end civil unions in Iowa.

Amazing speech. He's 19 and is amazing at public speaking, better than many public figures! He's gonna have a bright future ahead of him. And he's actually in engineering, not something that does too much public speaking! Anyways, the speech that he gave was powerful and touching. He delivered it really well, too!

It is this journey that we will embark on, so fasten your seat belt and prepare to venture into the land of razor sharp quips and torrid love affairs.

Tron: Legacy (Graphics)

Read it on Reddit.

So Tron: Legacy wasn't the best movie; definitely didn't stack up to the original Tron. But the graphics was incredible! Especially when they were in that meeting about the program. The whole office looked so...awesome. I like the fact that they're using a legit kill command shown above (and other unix commands). All the pictures from the article are just really pretty, which makes me want to re-watch the movie.

SDCC '11

[One right after the other on my Twitter feed. And I squeed.]
