Over the last two weeks in between the birth of my daughter, Gabriella, and a metric ton of tests at school I have been working on a new look for my website. I'm VERY close to getting it finished and am very excited about it.
I am hoping that I'll get it finished by the end of this weekend. All I need to do now is to post images from a few of my weddings and I should be ready to go. Keep checking back - www.devinbruce.com !!!

Amazing Pictures
This Eastern European (is it un-p.c. to say Russian anymore?) website shows off some war-time photography mixed via photoshop with present day photographs of the same surroundings. Very moving - I just wish I knew the Crylic alphabet so I could read what in the hell it all is about.
Nice to look at anyway.
Click here to see and (not be able to) read.

Mr. Bo... Jingo?
What the hell is going on. Within the last four days I have seen this term -> "Jingoistic" <- pop up all over the internets - everywhere from articles to comment boards. This word, by the way, is one I have NEVER heard in my 30-flurerer years on this planet. The problem is that the people using it don
t really know what it means. Take this comment from a Yahoo news article about the apparent lack of coverage of Jamaican runner Usain Bolt's big-time win last week in favor of US swimmer Michael Phelps:
That's nice - except that jingoism is defined as "extreme patriotism in the form of aggressive foreign policy". Where in the context of the comment above does the aggressive foreign policy appear Sounds like someone liked the sound of a word without bothering to figure out what is actually meant.
I am calling it right now: "Jingoism" will be the new buzzword for 2008. CATCH IT!

What's the surprise? The Nothing But Crap network has a proud tradition of jingoistic(Devin bolded this) coverage of events. If there is not a big American story, it gets relegated to the broadcast backwater or ignored entirely. NBC should be ashamed, but if 40 million people are stupid enough to watch their awful coverage things won't change.

Jesus-E???
Think about this - that the Wall-E movie was a story about the bible and the eventual second coming of Jesus. I was thinking about it last night and there are a lot of things that support that idea. Here are a couple of points - some with more credence than others (and make no mistake - I am not preaching - these are just thinks that I have noticed that matched up between the bible and the movie I saw last night):
Jesus/WallE = 5 letters each
Both died and were "resurrected" after dying for people's "sins" (in the movie the people's sin was sloth).
Both "saved" humanity because of their sacrifices.
In the bible the Earth was created in 7 days; in the movie the Earth was ready for moving back to on the 700th anniversary of humans leaving for space.
The girl's name was "Eve" (obvious allegory to Adam and Eve)
"Eve" carried life (the plant) inside of her and, because of it, became the de-facto mother of humanity.
The 2 fat people that "woke up" from their stupor on the ship were named... JOHN and MARY!!!
I'm sure there are more but I need to investigate more thoroughly...

Re: My last post (that should be below this);
Nevermind. Just listened to their whole album and they suck. They didn't use CAKE as an influence - the Flobots totally bit their whole sound off em. It's like if you put RATM and Cake in a blender and chopped them up with a bit o' bleach mixed in, then poured your concoction out on a screen to dry and turn into a papery recycled mess.
I DID like Handlebars... but bothered to look online where they had two separate versions of videos for the song. One (before they were signed) was a cool animated/graffitied piece about revolution. The newest one (made once Universal picked them up) is a childishly (literally) made video with kids... who act like mean adults!
Yuck. I wish John McC. would strike them down with his heavenly sword...

I'm calling it now:
Flobots for the win in 2009. You heard it here first... although it sounds like they owe CAKE a bit of a shoutout.
