And now I’m pinned.
First day of vacation and I’m taking some time to play with and update my servers at home.
One thing I’ve always wanted to do was make an animated gif of myself.
Nothing too fancy, didn’t have to be pretty. Just a nice hack-my-way-thru kind of thing.
And this is the result.
Comments welcomed.
Wamu takes a dive: that’s NYSE:WM
Wachovia takes a dive: that’s NYSE:WB
Other NYSE:W* to watch
NYSE:WF Woori Finance (off 20% today)
NYSE:WG Willbros Group (Off 16%)
NYSE:WL Wilmington trust (Off 14%)
But honestly.. following the basic pattern the next victim of collapse would be:
NYSE:VQ Venoco, Inc (Oil and energy company off 8% today to $12)
Though if we simply look at Investment/Banking between VQ abd WB we find:
NYSE:VT Vanguard Total World (Off 7.5%)
NYSE:VV Vanguarg Large Cap (Off 4%)
Have fun 🙂
I think I’ve inadvertently become a fan of Dschinghis Kahn
The group made the rounds on the internet around 2-3 years ago. You may remember “Those scary russian dancing power rangers types” singing about Moscow.
Someone has actually managed to track down the entire performance from the Eurovision Song Contest in 1979 and post it to Youtube.
Two interesting facts… The prominent blonde in the group is named Strobel the bald guy is named Bender. Bender appears about 25 years later in a performance of the song in a live concert with the group, “The Legacy of Dschinghis Kahn” which is basically the equivalent of a sanctioned continuation of the old group with only one or two of the members. (Think: The New Seekers)
The 25 yr link is worth it. They have a Bellagio-esque fire show during the song.
I’d be tempted to get 5 other people together and take this mess to Burning man.
