Did You Know the Planets Aligned?

I’m not being dramatic like, “ooooo the planets must’ve aligned, Billy, you’re on time”.

They physcially actually did.

In May 2011, six of them lined up, visible from Earth with a naked eye, look:

Do you even know how rare this is?

For most of May they stayed in line along the path the sun travels each day.

Why is this so interesting?

Because this planet configuration was predicted by the Mayans to occur… December 21 2012.

Yup, the infamous 2012 theory.  Astronomers say no such alignment will occur next year.

Basically the Mayans were 19 months off in their calculations, but when considering they did them thousands of years ago, I’d call that pretty close.

Think this news is all fringe, and maybe you’re rolling your eyes?  Time Magazine wrote about it.

I’ll leave you with this:

PS – Want more proof I’m not alone? InterXon, the world’s leader in thought-controlled computing (and a Canadian company), is a headline keynote at Canada’s largest media conference this week, the Banff World Media Festival.

Hope You Had a Great Weekend, Too

Friday night game! Hooow great does the top of this blog post look.

I accidentally end up here at least once a year.

This is the Jay’s star player, Marc Rzepczynski.

I’ve never stayed longer than 4 innings.

Yes it’s busy, but our feet need these, so much stomping.

Oh get THIS!

Stella Artois asked, “want a shot at hosting a party for 200 of your pals downtown?”. YA I do!

I’ll let you know in a post tomorrow what we have to make happen, but really, if anywhere a party for such thing should happen, it’s right downtown.

First time I’ve ironed in a year and half.

It’s nice to not have to drive, sometimes.

Took a break from the internet, my phone… I hope you do that, too.  It’s important to disconnect.

Peel back the plastic and go inside.

The outfit far right I’ll wear again.

Note my fanny pack in the middle; here’s an old blog post – why I like fanny packs.

Left is a joke between Casie and I.

And here’s Casie and I at dinner last week.

For mostly my files: I had the nearest thing you can get to a perfect weekend.

Here’s to a great Monday and start to your week!! TTYT Keri xo

This Is More For Me Than You

Very exciting to me.

This is from when I had an epiphany Wednesday June 8 on my balcony. You know when it all just clicks and a million hours of ruminating snap together?  Fist pumped a couple times.

This is more for me than you; I’m documenting.

Blurred for OPSEC.

It’s no good if the internet has the same epiphany.

Watch a Ford Focus Park Itself

Tuesday Ford invited me to test drive their 2012 Ford Focus for a day via a car rally.

They partnered us each up, that’s my awesome cohort Ryan Durrell in brown.

(photo by Morsel Photography Hi Jerry! Look I stole more of your photos!)

The day kicked off with Ford saying, “here, go run our car through that slalem course, hard as you can”. Oh reallllly?!?! I got this.

I made that thing fly, and below is me standing on the brakes, and tada, cones are prefectly intact. I told them I was surprised how well it took the corners. Torque vectoring FTW.

Remember that time I did advanced driving school? Exploring a Race Car (video)

Each team was given an iPod Touch to film their experiences, and then Ford handed us our footage from the day on a USB key.  So sorry for the poor audio.

Have you ever edited iPod or iPhone footage?  Ugh.  All that tall footage is tough to work with. And I don’t get it, why wouldn’t Final Cut talk better with .movs? Anyway.

How many horse power? Would you like a cupcake?

I learned that a horse is 14.3 hands high, anything smaller is considered a pony.

We stopped by the Canadian Car Museum , so many nice cars.  I will never call them whips :|

Here’s Lauren and I, ha.

Interesting fact – the Focus is 85% of each pound of material used to build the car is recycled material.

Then I gave a little lecture.

Thanks for a great day, Ford!

If you ever need me to test another car on a track, I can do that!

All. Day. Long.
