Level 1 — Parker White Does Japan
[iDevice Link] <— 5,467 Straight from the horses mouth... can't wait to see more skiing content drop regarding Level 1's new movie "After Dark."
“Monster athlete Parker White made his way to Hokkaido, Japan with Level 1 for two weeks in February to chase pow, pillows, and Japanese schoolgirls. The crew saw as much sun as snow for the duration of the trip, but a few smaller cycles dumped enough snow to make it all worthwhile. Parker gives us the rundown on his first experience in the Land of the Rising Sun, and a look at some of the B-shots and outtakes. Stay tuned for more updates, info, and behind-the-scenes antics from Level 1’s Fall 2011 release, “After Dark.”

Genius.

I’m researching helicopter production quality… and it looks like there are two players that I have found so far. Let the research continue.
Golf – Years of Excellence
[iDevice Link] <— 1,248 views On March 4th, 2011 - Armenian-American CBS Sports producer and director, Frank Chirkinian passes away at the age of 84 after suffering from lung cancer. Straight from the man himself...
“I was probably the most innovative and brilliant son of a bitch that ever worked in television. I’ve done so damn many things I can’t remember half of them.”
Straight from Golf Coupons…
“He wasn’t a PGA Pro, but he’s headed to the Golf Hall of Fame. Too bad Frank Chirkinian did not live long enough to attend his induction ceremony this May. He would have enjoyed it. Chirkinian, died on March 4 after a battle with cancer. He didn’t play as a pro, but he influenced how we watch the game. Frank Chirkinian, “The father of televised golf,” died at the age of 84. Many of the things we take for granted today in sports coverage, and golf in particular are because of Chirkinian.
Frank produced the first PGA Championship in 1958, at Llanerch Country Club near his home in Philadelphia, and two years later the first televised Winter Olympics from Squaw Valley. He also dreamed up the idea of putting cameras on blimps to cover sports events.
But it was his work in golf that stood out, and at Augusta National in particular. He produced 38 editions of the Masters for CBS, bringing the majestic fairways and greens of Augusta to fans who could only dream of seeing them in person.
Perhaps you assumed golf leaderboards always listed the golfers in relation to par. Nope. It was Frank who thought this was a good idea and introduced it to sports broadcasting in 1960. Before then, it was just aggregate score. Pretty cool that Frank’s idea will last as long as tournaments are played.”
Live Your Childhood Dreams
[iDevice Link] <— 12,985,313 I came across this Randy Pausch lecture while YouTubing today... and what a reminder it was to live life to the fullest. It sounds cheesy, but if you are having a hard time comprehending what the point of life is - this lecture will help you. I remember when Randy passed away in 2008 and shortly following I spent a good amount of time consuming his thoughts and lectures and found him to be truly inspirational. I'm glad I ran into him again on the internets... and this time have a bloggish video reminder memory bank tool to share and remember his story forever.
The quick history on Randy:
Randolph Frederick “Randy” Pausch (October 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) was an American professor of computer science and human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Pausch learned that he had pancreatic cancer in September 2006, and in August 2007 he was given a terminal diagnosis: “3 to 6 months of good health left”. He gave an upbeat lecture titled “The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” on September 18, 2007, at Carnegie Mellon, which became a popular YouTube video and led to other media appearances. He then co-authored a book called The Last Lecture on the same theme, which became a New York Times best-seller.
Pausch died of complications from pancreatic cancer on July 25, 2008.

My Rally Fighter
[iDevice Link] <— 5,699 An open source car + A designer with laser vision = the Rally Fighter.
“Imagine a car built by people who are driven by passion… rather then some cubicle monkey worried about his deadlines an TPS reports.”
This is what Local Motors has been dreaming of and building out of their factory in Phoenix, Arizona and their first community co-created production car is the Rally Fighter.
I partied with Local Motors at SEMA – Sat in a Rally Fighter – Tore one apart – Put one back together – And now I want one.
Order Rally Fighter #138 for $59,000 and you get to spend 6 days building it yourself at the Local Motors micro factory and drive it off the lot. Or just call Sarah Stokes directly at (480) 371-6797 and drop your $1,000 down payment. Tell her Hydle sent you, but be careful… she is cooler, smarter and tougher then you are.

“I’ve done so much with so little for so long that now I can do anything with nothing.”
I love this quote… and overall enjoy this video. But it’s a little too long and a bit too draggy for multiple viewing sessions. Cool car though… but the music needs to evolve.
Generosity Day
Generosity Day is the new Valentines Day…
“There’s nothing wrong with holidays, and certainly nothing wrong with romance, but we’re maxed out on fabricated emotion and are craving things that are genuine. Generosity Day is a chance to get in touch with what we’re longing for: to be the best version of ourselves, to connect with one another, to help.”
Nobody needs or needed permission to create this. So why not [Get Shit Done]? Especially if you are a non-profit.
