Here's the description on YouTube of this video, "CEDA 2008 College Debate Coaches: Professor Shanara Reid Brinkley, PHD of the University of Pittsburgh versus Professor William (Bill) Shanahan, PHD previously of Fort Hays State University, Kansas." Probably better described as "Two debate coaches demonstrate that, when in doubt, the best rhetorical tehnicque is to swear your ass off."

To have to give up such hilarity.
"When was the last time you were at a wedding that had a death defying hike, rogue waves, a luau, ultimate fighting, a presidential candidate and a budding bromance?" asks Papi Chulo. For most of us, the answer is never, but luckily, Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch took the time to Vox all the amazing moments during their unforgettable Hawaiian wedding on 08.08.08 so we could all take part in the festivities.
The story began last February, when Papi Chulo popped the question and Secret Agent Scotch said yes! Since then, they've kept us in the loop about all the details, from the bride's veil to the wedding song to the final To-Do List. And throughout it all, they inspired us with their love for each other. (I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than knowing your future husband thinks you are The Perfect Girl.)
It's an amazing love story and we are thrilled they shared it with us. Watch the video of the ceremony and please join us in wishing Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch the fairytale ending they deserve.
And What's a Team Vox Post without New Themes?
Spice up your Vox blog with one of our latest themes (found in the design area under "New") or any of our hundreds of themes. From shopping to sushi, comics to cycling, there's something for everyone.
Can't get enough of the wedding? A few lucky Voxers - Krissy, djchall, and Beau Smith - made the trip to Hawaii to take part in the celebration. Check out their Vox blogs for more pictures and stories.
Congratulations again to Secret Agent Scotch and Papi Chulo! Enjoy the Honeymoon!
I finally got around to uploading the videos from Noah's second Rock Band Camp. New band. New songs. Noah rocking the drums. Here he is drumming up a storm with his friend Ethan on guitar.
The Y Combinator team does all sorts of great stuff with their startups. I learned about a new one last night. Apparently when you join Y Combinator you are given a gray t-shirt that says "Make Something People Want." There are a relatively small number of those t-shirts in the universe. But the far rarer t-shirt is the one that you get when you sell your company (I assume you'll get one if your company goes public as well -- it just hasn't been long enough for any of them to get there yet). When you sell your company, the Y Combinator folks give you a black t-shirt that reads "I Made Something People Want." There are something like 30 of those t-shirts in existence today (which is pretty impressive in and of itself given how long the program has been around). I was chatting last night with Ryan Junee, the founder and CEO of Omnisio, which was just bought by YouTube this week. He was proudly sporting his "I Made Something People Want" t-shirt at the Startup2Startup dinner last night and enjoying the fact that at that dinner he was a rock star. That's what I love about the startup culture -- it is creative and smart and energetic and makes geeks rock stars. Congrats Ryan. Congrats Y Combinator.
I wonder what the guys who made it are doing now? :)
Julian has been rehearsing upstairs from a big Vespa dealer in San Francisco. If I have to pass this room too many more times, I may come home with one.
I messed up and can't use two tickets to "The Drowsy Chaperone" on August 12th. They are third row center in the Loge and only $75 a piece. I saw the show on Broadway and it is really fun. Wish I could see it but I'm out of town and Julian has a rehearsal. Doh!
