Our Today Show mission was fulfilled. We were intermittently on air for about 3 minutes on August 11th, 2010.

Summer is one of my favorite seasons of the year, mainly because of outdoor activites.  I like fishing, parades, grilling, mowing (sometimes), camping, etc.

There are a few events I look forward to on a yearly basis, and the annual 4th Street Cruise is one of them.  It recently begins with a “show and shine” on Friday night, and the cruise on Saturday.  I don’t mind the car show, but the best part for me is sitting along the sidewalk downtown Waterloo, ice cold beverage, and watching the nice cars go by.  The cruise is supposed to be classic cars only, but you’ll also see anything from Suburbans with crazy paint jobs, modern muscle, cars and trucks with big wheels, low riders, motorcycles, and just about anything with an engine that people can be passionate about.

Based on a joke found here.

The latest in a series of lawsuits was filed against Apple today, this time by Nintendo Entertainment of America.

The company, best known for producing the insanely Creative Wii, filed claim today, alleging that Apple infringed on  23 of their patents relating to their Nintendo Wii’s user interface, Motion Controllers, and underlying architecture. In conjuncture with their lawsuit, the company has also filed a complaint with The National Football League, asking that they put an immediate stop to Apple’s export of unicorn blood to Canada.

Apple has announced that they have let go of their entire legal department, replacing them with Han Solo.

Han Solo’s first action on behalf of Apple, was to file a countersuit against Nintendo Entertainment of America, claiming that they had infringed on 5,555 of their patents for mind control, nuclear fusion and elements of their Michael J. Fox interface.

Speaking on behalf of Apple, Han Solo stated that “Apple cannot simply sit by while regional armies tarnish our name and cook our unicorns.”
