Not an artifact for a bygone era or a relic of a religion long forgotten, NO! Merely a human skull found in the backyard of a San Rafael resident. Why do I mention this? Well I was sent out with my webcam again to search out the dirt on this story and let the world see the HORROR! ...um... there was no horror. Worse yet, there was no signal. The area I was in had no Sprint service so I couldn't slingcam the whole thing back for the web. So instead I just shot some goods and talked with a press cop about the search. Now I will admit this video isn't that great. After learning the that I couldn't broadcast I was a little lost production wise with the purpose of my tape... so I shot it as if it would be edited... well it wasn't and you don't really see much here besides my short interview. I have no clue why the audio is whacked up. I am clipped to the max, hmmm... I'll have to take a look at the camera tomorrow when I get to cbs 5. I hope you guys have a fantasti...

Yesterday was a great freaking day. It started out slow, I was feeling kind of blah, but then something amazing happened. A friend reminded me it was free cone day at Ben & Jerry's. After I got off work at 1p I went straight to Ben & Jerry's in Jack London Square to get a delicious cone of their Half Baked. Could there be anything sweeter? How about a two-fer! That's right, Baskin Robbins isn't gonna let B&J get all the good publicity. Infact, they are trying to do them one better. Yes free ice cream is a damn tasty treat, but 31 cent scoops with the money going to charity is pretty sweet as well. That's right, I'll be there getting my fair share of the creamy dreaminess. Got to love free snack give aways! However, couldn't these companies do something better with their lost profits? Why not just give away the equivalent of those lost returns to a country that is in serious need of some food. I mean nothing brings the tempurature on a hot day th...

Seriously, don't do it. Marieta and I just bought our plane tickets to fly back on the 29th for her bud Sarah's wedding, and let's just say it is not the time of year to wait for deals... or so I think. Last October we bought our tickets for our December trip home to Iowa and we lost two hundred bucks by not waiting. This time, we added 50. I guess airline companies are following the oil industry model; we have no alternative (well, maybe you don't I bike to work) so screw the consumer up the rump until they can't walk straight. Graphic much? Think that's bad? well looking at our trip back in June for Jeremy's (Marieta's older brother) ordination (he's gonna be a priest), its gonna be some heavy coinage. I am not excited for that. Why Gawd why? We need bullet trains, like right now. What's this trip looking like for Pat and his fiancee? I'll fill you in on that as details emerge. Needless to say I think I have one free morning, and I plan on ...

You have one mission, and one mission only. Go Here ... and here . Live a little and just click the freaking link.

You may or may not know that Marieta and I take pictures of everything we eat, when we eat out. It might be our favorite past time. I'm not exactly sure how or when it started but I know it started in Iowa. Didn't really put much thought into the quality of the pictures till recently. Here are some tasty shots. I don't care if you're a vegetarian or hate Mexican food (you racist), that looks delicious. You want to know the sad thing? It wasn't. It was pretty good, but the tortilla was corn and the ingredients weren't the freshiest... God, every second I spend looking at this picture I just want to get in my car and drive to get a taco. Doesn't matter where, I just need a taco. Holy biscuits. Look at this piece of chocolate. Marieta and I got a few tasty treats over at Charles Chocolates a few weeks ago while were out apartment hunting. Marieta fell in love with them all, I was just... okay with them. This one was great. Wantons from Ching Hua in Alameda. If ...

I pulled this from a little piece on Cracked.com about 7 worst screw ups in home shopping network history. I find this one particularly hilarious. Posting this clip was really just an excuse to point out that I am on my way to the bloggingest year in Stunt Bunny history. That's cool... I guess... ROCK!

So yesterday I'm driving to Emeryville to pickup some cupcakes (delicious by the way), and I just grab a couple discs I haven't listened to in a long time; Coheed and Cambria's In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 and Jet's to Brazil's Perfecting Loneliness. Both discs I got back in college, and both I haven't listened to in at least three years. First off, Keeping Secrets , is garbage. Disjointed riffs, zero fluidity, completely inorganic transitions, recording quality that is just piss poor for a national release, and screams that just flat junk. The only redeemable quality is the ocassional catchy lyric. Looking back I don't know why I bought any of their albums. I saw them on accident 2 or 3 times in college (once at mshop for a few bucks, they opened once at gabes, and the warped tour), and I think I may have gotten caught up in the hype. Lame. Now revisiting Perfecting Loneliness is a completely different story. Have you ever bought a book, album, j...

We are doing this thing at the right time. The housing market is tanking (cali house values are taking a dump and will only continue to drop), the rental market is sizzling (our new place is about to raise rents [we signed just in time]), and its much closer to the places we hang and marieta's job. Wanna see it? Here are the videos. Here is the entry from the hall. (know that our apartment is this place but flipped. So more natural sunlight and what not). From the hall into the kitchen and patio The Kitchen to the master bedroom. Here is the lounge room (now the bart zooming through the back may sound loud but this mic is damn sensitive so dont worry). And for good measure take a look at the gym and party room. Yeah so we're pretty excited. This will be the first place we live in as a married couple. That's pretty huge! The second room will be big enough for our desks and a guest bed. Now we just gotta buy another bed! But the best part of all? Washer/Dryer in unit! Life wi...

Jan Wahl , you rock so hard. So very very hard. Thank you. I could not be more pumped for this movie.

Hey remember when I covered the protests last week? Well I finally got around to carving my footage up. Some of it is shaky and a little raw but I think it turned out cool. If you are interesting you can click here and check it out on curren t. The video doesn't look amazing at the moment (I messed up somewhere in the exporting of the goods. If you REALLY want to be a good buddy you'll log on current, leave a comment, and give it the green check (a.k.a. "greenlight it") so that it gets closer to making the air. I will repost it when it looks top notch once I figure out what my problem is. I may never figure that out... But please. Check it out and let me know.

Skype rules. So incase you're not in the know, I have a macbook pro now. Yes, it is awesome. Yes it costs a couple of beans. One of the smaller perks is it comes with a webcam. Well now that I have a webcam and a fast internet connection I can do the webcamish/talkie thing. First person to talkie with me (or us) is my parents. We skyped it. Its like a phone call only free. I totally think you should check this out. Infact you could talk to me and we could ramble on about nonsense. All right, back to the weekend.

Not sure this picture truly shows how burnt my face is. It's red, and yes it hurts. My favorite question so far? "What happened to your face?!?" Come on, isn't it obvious? I took part in a pharmaceutical experiment that went horribly wrong... duh! For those too lazy to read the previous two posts, I spent about a grand total of 20 hours on my feet the past two days following Protesters of the Summer Olympic Games in Bejing. It was fun and exciting, but I am beat up. It's not just my face. I pulled a muscle in my left leg, my right knee is hinky (to quote Will Smith from that movie that sucked [you know the one {the answer: all of them}]), my shoulders are seriously sore from carrying all the transmitter gear, and I'm generally tired (however it doesn't help I had to come into work at 4am today). Not complaining, just reporting. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Only... I WOULD PACK SOME FUNKING SUNSCREEN! Okay, that's all for now, I'll pos...

Since I taped this I picked up this beauty: That's right ladies, I got press-cred. Love it.

Time to infiltrate the protests. T-minus hour until I hit the streets live with my camera. I'll be streaming street footage live from 1130 till 7 (maybe later). I am freaking excited. All right, I don't have much to say about anything else. Kansas won the championship. I picked them to take it all and means I pocket 23.50 from the office pool (I came in third). Not a bad five dollar investment. Best part about KU winning is that ISU actually gets some monies from their victory. Conferences take all the winnings from bowl and tournament winnings (level of bowl or depth of tourney run determines the $$). After its all tallied up schools with championships, deep runs, and appearances get paid first, than schools like Iowa State get a cut. Pretty nice. I few million just for the association. THAT'S why you root for your conference. peace

So I added a newspiece on current about the people who climbed the golden gate bridge today and it made it to television. Current replaced their top of the hour infomania piece with Current News updates. They pick four stories that are popular on current.com and put them on tv with a quote per piece. Isn't sweet? No? Well it did say "Stunt Bunny" on the channel and showed the picture of me with the Kiwano. Love it and Live it babies. I'll leave you with this tastiness.

American Geography must bow down before me. I just took this test at mentalfloss where you have 10 minutes to name the capitals of all the states. it only took me 4 minutes and 10 seconds. That's right. I own. Take it yourself and see how you do. And stay away from Google Maps you losers!

This Tuesday and Wednesday the Olympic torch will be making its only US stop in San Francisco. I don't understand the choice of San Francisco, but I sure as hell love it. Remember a couple weeks ago when I was doing the live webcam thing for cbs5.com? Well I'm doing that again this week. Both Tuesday and Wednesday (a pretty dig deal to me). And if the London protests are any indication... it's about to pretty crazy in this mug. Does the IOC and China not know anything about SF and its history? I am so freaking excited. Talk at you peeps later.

No, no, no not suicide. I'm moving. Again. Not back to Iowa (HA! Like that is gonna happen). There is no way that is gonna happen. This time I am moving out west. that's right. I'm moving to Fog City. San francisco. Well if you want to get Technical I'm moving to Alameda which is more Oakland than SFO but you know I only have so much money I can spend on rent. I'm not rolling in it (yet). You are probably asking why am I moving? I mean I moved from Iowa not even a year ago. Plus, I love Chicago. I am in the land of milk and honey as far as sports goes, and my family lives in the Area. So why San Francisco? Have you been out there? The food, the atmosphere, the weather, the adventures, my parents down the five, the opportunities, and probably what should be the top of the list is grad school. If Marieta and I live out in California for a year we get in state tuition (save those beans). I'll give you more details later but as of right now the end of April means th...

All praise the flying spaghetti monster . The truth must be told. You cant teach creationism in schools without allowing the believers of the flying spaghetti monster voices to be heard. I don't know what else there is to say. Hopefully the apocolypse will come and in like 500 years when survivors are trying to learn pieces of past they'll stumble upon this statue and start seriously worshiping the flying spaghetti monster. New video on the wedding page . A little adventure Marieta and I had in the south bay looking for wedding shoes. That's right, I spent the whole day shoe shopping. You may enjoy it... maybe not. I mean it is shoe shopping. Actually, its a good way to check out our wedding planning. Peace Punks.
