My friend, Scott Sucher (located over in the blogroll), just had an article published that changes 200 years of gem history. His “hobby” is making exact replicas of unique diamonds and gems for museum pieces and exhibits. This is what happens when a passion just takes off! The article is very technical, but the general concepts conveyed through the accompanying photos just comes off as intriguing. Get the whole story right here.
Update: Oops, my bad. The link to the article isn’t the full article, and gives you an option to purchase the magazine. Still, kudos to Scott for being published and literally changing diamond history.

Every once in a while my imagination runs away with me (alright, more often than that to tell the truth). Anyway, there was a Krispy Kreme next to work here that closed down due to the great Atkins Revolution of the “early aughts”. I always wanted to open up either a recording studio/record store (calling it Doughnut Shoppe Records) or a small workout studio (calling it Lunch Hour Fitness). And someone else got to it and it became:
*sigh* What are ya gonna do? Hope it’s tasty.

I’m going to do some crazy stuff regarding this year’s release of the iphone in conjunction with Leo and twitlive.tv. I figure if I run over to the local apple store and take some video with my phone I can go back home and upload it to Leo while he does his 24 hour marathon of coverage. I’ll copy what I can here so you, my loyal patrons, can see how it goes.
Annnnd so I tried and did not get any play from Leo, so here are the videos I took from the Albuquerque Apple Store and the Westside Albuquerque AT&T store.
Albuquerque Apple Store iPhone line @ 5pm 7/10/08
Westside Albuquerque AT&T store iPhone line @ 9:30pm, 7/10/08
Now Leo or Dane can come get em!
Update: Brian told me the video won’t play and it looks like the format my phone takes is different than what it says. Here are ones you can really watch
iPhone line - Albuquerque Apple Store - 5pm -7/10/08
note in this first one I keep calling it the new iPod at first…I was so nervous (sad little man)
iPhone line - Albuquerque Westside AT&T store - 9:30pm - 7/10/08
try those on for size.

As I’ve previously addressed, I am going to try and move to make this site more financially sound, and in doing so, I have come across someone that I think deserves support. Dan Miller has written many books including 48 Days to the Work You Love and No More Mondays, which talk about doing something really rewarding when it comes to work. So I signed up to be an affiliate to sell his 48 days book. You’ll see it in the right hand strip towards the bottom, and if you feel sometimes that there is no hope in your worklife, consider reading a terrific inspiration like Dan.
