Ever since Clark was born I've been thinking more and more about how to make children want to be hard workers and smart. Considering I'm neither of those two things, I hope this video will in some way inspire the children of tomorrow to be better than me. Yes, I know, that's a fairly low bar.

Happy Father's Day!
Dad, I love you. Thanks for being such a great example and friend. So much of who I am is because of you (and that's mostly a good thing...).
And now a few someecards that made me laugh, but are in no way inspired by my father:

AEM Mother's Day Video
My mom is nothing like the mother I talk about in the video. She's actually really cool and I've blogged about how great she is before. Nevertheless, here's my take on an engineer's Mother's Day wishes:

Marketing Defined
This felt very much like a Sesame Street sketch, and I like it.

Getting Ahead of the News
So my boss' boss recently found out that I was in a commercial for a local karaoke bar a few months ago, and before he gets any crazy ideas about how to ruin me with the footage...
I swear I sing better than that.

Best Ad Ever?
So I've already written about my love for Japanese humor and TV, but I found this video on Videogum today and I have to think that this is the most amazing ad in the history of the world:
Does anyone have contacts with a Japanese production company? Please? I would pay them to work there.

New Video: My Beef with Mythbusters
Don't get me wrong, those guys are awesome. They have the coolest jobs in the world. Don't believe me? Watch this.
But why do they tell me "don't try this at home?" Aside from zero budget, I'm just as qualified to blow crap up. Right?

Great Tribute to My Grandpa
My Grandpa, Harry Simmons, died when I was 10. He was a wonderful grandpa and what few memories I do have of him are great. The following video is a tribute to a part of his life I never knew as a kid, but have been slowly learning about over time.

Very Cool
A new family moved into our ward (congregation) a few weeks ago, and yesterday I learned that they were the coolest people.
Ever.
Exhibit #1: Check out Vince's amazing commercial photography site.
Exhibit #2: Check out Rachel's sweet child/infant/mommy photography site.
Exhibit #3: They're from Alaska. That's pretty cool in and of itself. They drove here. That's also pretty cool. What throws it over the top? THEY MADE A MOVIE USING PICTURES FROM EVERY 30 SECONDS OF THE DRIVE:
From Anchorage to Austin from Vince Penman on Vimeo.
Click here to view embedded video.
So much for my hopes of being the coolest kid at school.

Must-Watch of the Week
I like to think of myself as a pretty funny guy, so it pains me to see someone WAY out-funny me in a low-budget video. These are genius:
Why didn't I think of this!?!?

Mustache 2.0
Just when you thought this blog had become another proud parent blog, behold:
This is the second time I've tried growing a mustache, and represents no shaving for over a week from when Clark was born until now. This time I decided to turn down the creepy by growing a chin warmer as well. Since I don't have the hair to connect the two, my facial hair is in the "Van Dyke" style, typical of the Dutch Renaissance. Classy, I know.

Clark: Day Five
Holy cow, has the Blournal really become another proud parent blog?!? I know I need to stop, but I'm in love with my baby, my baby-momma, and my sweet camera that makes me look like a professional. Eventually the cutesy will turn down and the funny will go back up to 11. Promise.
