A Run to Remember

A Run to Remember

I ran in my first marathon yesterday, though it was only a relay — a 5K leg at that — but I ran! 🙂  Our team’s goal was to finish, and that’s what we did, with no one walking, so we feel pretty good about that.  By other’s standards, we didn’t do too well.  Luckily, we weren’t out to impress anyone. 🙂  My brother-in-law, though, ran the whole thing, and did pretty well.  He ran 26ish miles.  I ran 3.1.  I felt pretty silly getting my picture taken with him afterwards for our accomplishments, but, graded on a scale, I guess it was a big thing for me. 🙂

Funny “Dance” Video

Funny “Dance” Video

I got to talking to my brother- and father-in-law over the weekend about a video about Steve Ballmer on YouTube that I found pretty funny, if not somewhat embarrassing.  To really appreciate it, though, you have to sit through a couple of others, or at least be somewhat familiar with them.

Here‘s the “original” Steve Ballmer video, lovingly referred to as The
Monkey Dance. You don’t necessarily have to watch the whole thing, but it’s only a  minute 12 long, and your life will be that much better. 😉 Then there’s this video. A little less hyper, but just as…um… dumb. 😛

Take those two appalling displays, layer on a catchy beat, and you have
some High Techno fun!  (You like that?  High techo + techno? 🙂 We all at one point or another will embarrass ourselves in public — I’m exhibit A on that one — but this guy doesn’t seem to be aware of how…crazy he comes across, or maybe he doesn’t care.  Either way, the dance mix is pretty funny stuff. 😛
