Have you seen the latest National Geographic Magazine? Well, they've found Superman's Lair. Those are giant gypsum crystals that they found in the Crystal Cave in Mexico. The photos are just phenomenal. They're as big as telephone poles...I was watching the documentary on it last night...super cool. Well, maybe not cool. It was like 115 degrees in there. Amazing, huh?

Halleleujah! The nasty commercials are over. So, I was reading a post by my favorite marketer, Seth Godin, and the end of his post was just great:

Our culture has purchased (and voted) itself into the place we are today.

That's why I abstained from the nastiest commercial fight here in Oregon. Read the whole article here
