MILES DAVIS

I have been listening quite a bit to the classic Miles Davis album Kind of Blue lately along with How the West was Won which is an absolutely epic Led Zeppelin live album. Here's one of my favorites off Kind of Blue; "Freddie Freeloader".

IBM

Here's a video the folks at IBM did to celebrate their company's 100th anniversary. It's basically just a 13 minute advertisement for the company however it's really well done and I think it is quite extraordinary to see a history of how these massive multi-national corporations develop over time; especially how a small communications business can grow into one of the largest and most innovative computer businesses in the world. 

CHASE HAWK

Chase Hawk is probably my favorite bike rider to watch. His riding is very simple and traditional, however his style is unmatched by anyone else on a bike today. He can blast airs higher than anyone else and doesn't do too many tricks, but instead naturally moves in the most interesting of ways. I like Chase because he doesn't trick or stunt; he rides.

ERIK ELSTRAN DRAGON SHREDIT

Erik Elstran does not ride his BMX bike like a normal human. He is by far the most creative bike rider to be exposed to the masses and this is his best work yet. This edit is fun to watch even if you've never seen a BMX bike before.

FOSTER THE KIDS

I am in love with this song...

VALUES

After completing the values survey, I wasn't too surprised my results. However, this is probably because I have done numerous surveys similar to this in both school and own my time. Another big contribution to this survey being more of a reminder than a surprise was all of the self discovery work we did in class during the first part of the year. My results did agree with my perception of myself. My values were fulfillment in intellectual and vocational achievement, personal freedom and independence, family, love, emotional security, as well honesty, sincerity, and integrity.  They reaffirmed my assumption that I am a determined, independent, and emotional person, and I try to be as sincere as possible. This was explained by the values represented by the numbers that I chose as the 5 most important to me. 


**Looking back I actually feel that for me, this survey was a better representation of my true values as opposed to the values auction although they are similar. This may be due to the fact that my brain was hurting from the names of all these values by midway through the auction and my initial and more impulsive survey findings are a better representation of myself.  

MIDTERMS ARE OVER
