I went out with some friends this weekend for the usual round of drinks and talk and pool games. One of them is from South Dakota and she told us this story about her dad going to this building demolition in ‘downtown’ Sioux Falls.
I laughed at the notion of a city that small having a downtown, but she said they had 2 or 3 buildings with more than 3 stories. Sure enough, I’m perusing digg.com and come across this video of the building demolition.
How crappy with the concept of explosion do you have to be to fudge this one up?
Rating: 4/5 stars – the plot line leads to an excellent sense of laughter, but I would have been happier with total destruction including large Hollywood fireballs.
Enjoy!

So, you’re on the Web!
Don’t hide it, how else would you have gotten here?
Now, think quick and go google the word ‘failure’ and see what comes up.
I guess… I’m left with no choice but admit that Al Gore and some democrats did, indeed, invent or at least took silent partnership in the Internet. That or… could google be a socialist regime?

When I finished the Spring semester, I had an agitation blister in my mind from the lack of accomplishment I felt at the Kansan. I had started with every intention of expanding on the new forms of online journalism and maybe even breaking some of the Web coding they had bought.
None of that happened. My boss was double majoring in journalism and theater.
If that made your face bunch up like you just smelt a fart in a room full of girls and it wasn’t you, it should. Every idea that had been generated was continuously shot down by a mixture of apathy and ignorance. He is a good guy, but not the type that should be in charge of a Web site, much less a news Web site.
