Crumbs From Your Table

My jam this morning – Crumbs From Your Table by U2

From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself

Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off

You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table

You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart
Thinking every heart mends

You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table

Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by

You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table

After Effects vs Consumer Video Editors

This morning I’ve been working on this video opener for our holiday video greeting at work.

As consumer video editing software improves, I often wonder if spending an hour or more on a video title is worth the effort.

Does the average viewer realize the time that went into it or are they just assuming I’m typing text into iMovie and letting it do the rest?

And does it matter either way? 😉

Gun laws for dummies

Sounds logical to me.

I know the argument against background checks is that the government doesn’t need to be all up in my bid’ness and it will just lead to a national gun registry.

But the government tracks a 100 other things we buy every day and no-one throws a fit about it. Just seems logical that we should have simple background checks before guns are purchased.

Will a background check keep every bad guy from getting a gun? Nope.

Will a background check ensure that everyone who works with kids are good guys? Nope.

Will a background check ensure that you’ve been honest about everything you told your new employer? Nope.

But it will stop some – and that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

You can sign the petition to tell Congress to Finish The Job by applying background checks to ALL gun sales. Sign the petition today at http://bit.ly/17j5mrG
