The waves were really good this morning. I missed out on the early session, but was able to grab a few surfing clips a bit later in the afternoon. This is also the first time I’ve loaded up HD footage to Vimeo. Enjoy. (Viewing tip = If you click the button on the bottom right, next to the word “vimeo” you can see the video in full screen mode)

I just came up with a sick, sick, sick idea. Sick in a good way. In fact, in a GREAT way. Well I’m pretty sure it’s a good idea.

Anyhow, I need to team up with someone on this project because I have no clue how to program anything. I’m the ideas guy, and money guy. I come up with the ideas that are gonna make you rich. That is, if you are a bad ass programmer.

I need a programmer who can do this kind of stuff…

1. Replicate a application like Tweetdeck. (even better would have this idea function on a website)
2. Don’t be a dickweed.
3. Is honest.
4. Likes Grateful Dead music.
5. Knows what they are doing, and can do it fast. (I want to put some $$$ in your pocket ASAP.)
6. Can devote time to finish this project now, and isn’t so high on doobies while listening to their Grateful Dead jams they are unable to function and can’t work.
7. Basically, I need a really smart bro who has the time, desire, and abilities to create a Twitter Desktop application specific to my nutty ideas. Or possibly, and it would be even better if the app just ran on a web page. That would be even better.

Wanna do it?

Got the skills?

Got Jerry?

Let’s do this.

PS: I know I can go to Guru.com or RentACoder.com and get someone to do the job, but I always like to fish in the ponds close to home. I’d rather work with some of my readers, or those on my mailing lists before just joining forces with some random. Hope someone is out there that can do the job.

Farrah Fawcett, who was a star on Charlie’s Angels was one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1970s. Unfortunately, she died today after battling cancer. She was 62. You can read the Yahoo news story here.

Just the other day my buddy Chris was talking about a photo in which Farrah’s hair displayed the word “SEX” in the photo. I doubt this was anything intentional, but it got me to thinking… It would be a damn clever maneuver to do it on purpose.

Anyhow, do you see the word “SEX” in her hair?  I’ve outlined where I see it.

As a young kid I had a never-ending dream to be a baseball player. My brother and I would play ball in the backyard just about every day.

Growing up in Oregon we quickly learned to hate the weatherman in the spring since a lot of our games would be rained out, yet the Meteorologist swore that it was going to be sunny. When summer came, it was so joyous to be able to play ball all day.

In Little League I was a pretty good player. I made the All Star teams, and played really well. It was some of the most memorable times in my life. Once high school came around I couldn’t wait to get onto the Varsity team. However, that never happened. Half way through my freshman year I sprained my ankle pretty bad. Shortly after, I found myself getting in trouble with the law and partaking in activities that weren’t exactly condoned by the school or the baseball team. (Use your imagination). That was pretty much the end of my baseball career.

About 8 years ago I did join a softball team in Haliimaile Hawaii. What a experience that was. I had not played since a high school kid, and the locals decided to put “Haole Boy” at shortstop. Needless to say, fielding ground balls from 250 lbs Hawaiians on a bumpy field wasn’t a easy task. But I had a blast.

Fast forward 8 years to last week… and I sat in on a softball game with my pal Chris. And it’s just my luck that we are up against the number one team in the league and they ask me to play 2nd base. Within minutes a line drive is drilled at my feet and I have to admit, my fielding skills were a bit rusty. Okay, a lot rusty. Snagging a ground ball at 70mph isn’t a easy task.

I made two quick errors and felt like crap about it. Luckily, I did get a hit and scored the teams first run two innings later. Around the fourth inning another screaming ground ball was fired at me. There was no way I was going to let this one get past me. So, I did what any good infielder would do and got my body in front of the ball and made the force play to 2nd base to get the runner out.

Unfortunately that out came at a price. The price was a softball size welt and bruise on my inner thigh (a few inches from my family jewels). You can see the bruise here…

So tonight is the 2nd night I’ll attempt to rekindle my childhood dream of playing with the guys on the diamond. Of course it’s just softball and not real baseball, but it’s still very competitive, very fun, and very taxing on the body.

If the team wins tonight, they are in the playoffs. So the only obvious question now is… “Where are the steroids?”.

Kami and I were really excited this morning because today was the day the piano company was delivering the piano that I bought for her birthday. You can see a pic of our piano room by clicking here.

One cool thing about the piano is that when you prop it open, it displays her middle name “Nelson” and mine “Everett”. When we saw that, we knew it was our piano. Hopefully we’ll become a modern day Sonny & Cher and sing love duets and all that cool jazz.

Anyhow, I’ve never really played piano. I started taking the lessons in the Apple Garageband last night, so I’m really green. I wish I had learned a lot earlier as it would of made learning guitar and understanding music theory way easier. Having all the keys in a chromatic scale is very helpful.

So, today I sat down and forced myself to learn Coldplay’s Viva La Vida intro. It’s nothing spectacular, but hey, I’ve only been playing for a few hours now.

Hopefully I’ll keep interested enough to practice every day. Here’s a quick clip I uploaded to 12seconds.tv you can see…


Viva La Vida - Just got a piano a few hours ago. Don’t know how to play but taught myself this Coldplay song in a few minutes. on 12seconds.tv

Hey friends, this blog post could be one that dramatically increases the quality of your life. I’m sure a few of you have heard me mention my friend David Wolfe before. He’s a leading authority on Raw Food Nutrition and living an extremely healthy lifestyle.

What I love about David is that he is not pushy. He doesn’t force feed his ideas and beliefs down your throat, but instead he encourages you in a gentle way to introduce some new and healthy things into your already existing lifestyle.

Since I’ve got to know David Wolfe, the quality of my life has increased significantly. And it’s not just me. I’ve seen immense changes in my close friends as well because of his teachings.

Even if you are a meat eater, and have no desire to be a vegetarian or raw foodie, there is tremendous amount of info you can get from David that will not only increase your life expectancy, but will make you feel and look so much younger if you heed his advice.

I want you to check out this page right here.

David is releasing a new program called “Longevity Now“. It’s something I definitely think you should pay attention to. (And pass along to friends)

Please feel free to Digg, or bookmark this page with whatever social bookmarking services you use. Doing so could benefit many people in a very positive way.

Anyhow, I’m going to post a Youtube video below of David so you can get a glimpse of what I”m talking about. But more importantly, I want you to go sign up at Longevity Now to see the materials that he is offering. It may just blow your mind. I know it has mine.

Everybody was excited to learn that Facebook was going to allow users to now use “Vanity URL’s”. And when I say everybody, I really mean a few Facebook users and a whole lot of SPAMMERS!

Right this moment, spammers are running rampant on Facebook claiming up every popular name they can. It doesn’t matter whether or not they are actually affiliated with the name or the company, it’s just a big time online land grab. And Facebook has done very little to even stop it.

My profile has been jacked by some dickhead named Jake Smith. My buddy John Reese got his snatched too. Same with Frank Kern. And same thing with just about every popular marketer who didn’t sit around at the stroke of midnight last night to claim their name.

I’m assuming Facebook will give us the vanity URL’s back. At least they better. If not, Jake Smith is in for a world of hurt if he ever tries to use my name to gather traffic to his page.

If you don’t know what a vanity URL is, it’s basically just a shortened version of the URL. Right now, my personal profile URL is long and ugly. Virtually impossible to remember when it looks like this… http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=634453082

A vanity URL looks like this http://www.facebook.com/jasonmoffatt (which I should be the rightful owner of).

I’ve sent Facebook a message and sent the squatter a message. Hopefully it will be rectified soon. If not, I’m thinking of going Tony LaRussa on them as this is pure bullshit they allowed this to happen so easily.

I reckon they have a huge problem on their hands right now. There must be massive amounts of spam vanity URL’s at this moment, and growing by the minute. Facebook should of put some precautions in the way to make sure spammers didn’t have a wide open field to abuse people, companies, trademarks, etc. etc. So far, every vanity URL I’ve seen is a impostor.

If you haven’t gotten your own vanity URL yet, you may want to log into your Facebook account and see if it’s still available. That is if it hasn’t been snatched by some scum sucking low life bottom feeder.

Best of luck.

I just came across this really cool iPhone app called Pano. It’s created by Debacle software and what it does is simply stunning.

Pano merges multiple photos into one panoramic photo. You can see an example that I took in my office living room and loaded to TwitPic by clicking here.

That image was actually 5 separate pictures meshed into one. I was shocked to see the quality come out so well, especially since I took 3 different shots that have the TV in view. Somehow Pano was smart enough to only focus on one of those images and still merged the rest into one good looking pic.

Anyhow, it’s only $2.99 in the applications store on your iPhone. It’s super simple to use and a hell of a buy if you are a iPhone user. I can’t wait to experiment with it a bit more. Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if you tried to do a 360 degree photo?

Creating videos online just keeps getting easier and easier each day. And luckily for you and I, it’s getting cheaper and cheaper too!

Yesterday I got a call from my buddy Russ asking me whether or not I wanted to head out to the San Diego Wild Animal Park’s new Zipline exhibit called Flightline.

My answer… “Does a bear shit in the woods”?

So, Russ, Frank, John and I headed out to Escondido to give it a shot.

Still being jacked up on pain pills I was a bit sketched out. It wasn’t too bad, but I was a bit on edge. And I’m not exactly big on heights either, and this thing soars well over 500 feet from the ground. As you decend down the drop you cover the whole area of the wild animal park soaring over Rhino’s, Hippos, Lions, and all kinds of crazy wild animals.

It was pretty sweet. Here’s a couple clips from the day…
