wingsuit base jumping from Ali on Vimeo.
I have said that I would only sky dive if I was jumping in tandem with someone I was willing to die with (cause I'm not going out alone). Watching the video of these base jumpers got my heart racing...I have to say I envy the experience, though would never want to take such an extreme leap of faith. Beautiful! Amazing! Certifiable!
Nary a Budweiser in sight, and maybe the most brilliant in their series of advertisements, the Wassup guys return eight years later to give us an update on their lives...
So "True!"
Rolling Stone has published a rather inflammatory story about John McCain. With that beautiful cover photo of Barack Obama a few months ago that depicts him as both human and Presidential (lapel pin and all), it is pretty clear that Rolling Stone has a partisan bent to their reporting of electoral politics. But to call McCain a "spoiled brat" seems like it is going too far. Granted, because of his military career and POW experiences, McCain's political life has a Teflon-quality to it. It seems the lack of a frank accounting of McCain's military and political history has been a glaring hole in the election coverage, but with this article Rolling Stone has gone to the extreme. What do you think? Is this the swift-boating of John McCain?

An anthropologist and sociologist post an object, muse on its significance, or embrace its inner whimsy.
