Winter Break Headquarters
Well, finals are over for a large portion of the writers of Cleverpork Central. Now it is time for Winter Break. We made it safely back to Portland, and I made sure I took no time before setting up the Cleverpork Central Winter Break Headquarters. Our temporary headquarters are located in My family's house adjacent to the Wiki Creek Field Station Below you'll find the description of the various components that make up our Winter Break Headquarters.
Falconry
Readers, while you are one of my top priorities, I also have other interests. One of those is birds. Recently I started toying with the idea of falconry as a way to keep some of the more amazing birds in the world, the hawks. It turns out that falconry is still a popular activity in the world and Oregon has a decent amount of people active in the field. I've looked more and more into it, and while it would cost me a lot of money, I have decided that 5 years after I get a steady job, I'm going to get my falconry license.
ASL Mr. Blue Sky
Earlier this term I was told I needed to sign a song for my ASL class. I started going through my list of karaoke songs to choose a song I would enjoy, I could really perform, and wouldn't be boring. I came up with Electric Light Orchestra's Mr. Blue Sky. However, in class my song didn't get recorded as I had hoped. I woke up this morning to a beautiful blue sky that remained throughout the day down here in Eugene, and decided I would record myself signing Mr. Blue Sky under a blue sky.
Enjoy the full video after the break!
Declaration of Independence in Google Wave
For all of you out there, like us here, who have Google Wave already, check out this Link. It is the Declaration of Independence. At first it looks kinda boring, just the document transfered into Wave. But then go and hit playback. Not only is it somewhat informative, it is kind of amusing as well.
It also to some extent shows what Google Wave can do in terms of collaborative editing. Or for education. It is a great tool.

A Werewolfs Responce to Zombie Mania
November 5th, 2009
It has come to my attention that Zombies, undead and completely unpalatable post humans, have become very kitch as of late. It seems every form of entertainment; from books to movies, television and the like, all have caved to popular demand and allowed for Zombies to infest themselves into the already pleasant and entertaining projects the specific mediums had to offer. Their reputation preceding them, Zombies are able to infest and spread very quickly convincing susceptible and otherwise good natured people into fans of these disgusting and morally indifferent beings. Completely adaptable and transferable to any medium, Zombies, if left unchallenged, will soon be present in all entertainment mediums and all forms of artistic expression.
Dont believe me? Think Im some bitter old Werewolf whose pissed because my kind only gets bit roles in shitty movies like "Twilight" or the Underworld franchise? Well-you might be partly right. But regardless of the anger that the lack of popular demand that has sprung up in me it doesn't hide or delude the fact that nearly everywhere you turn Zombies are taking over the popular landscape, turning all forms of art and entertainment into Zombie survival epics.
