Bad Lip Reading: White House Press Briefing
Hadn’t watched one of these in a while because I found I was unable to tell the real stuff from the parody stuff. But they haven’t lost their touch.

This guy knows how to make a video (and cool vehicles)
Buying your first Land Rover
“Your first Land Rover is your worst Land Rover.” This is probably the best video I’ve watched since the project began. Great advice, beautifully delivered, while holding a raccoon in his lap.
Teaching Chinese
One morning I noticed a gentleman sitting on the other side of the coffee shop flipping through a big stack of 3×5 cards. It was obvious he was using them as flash cards so I took a peek and saw what I assumed were Chinese characters (pictographs?) I introduced myself and asked about the cards.
The man’s name is Landis Duffett and he teaches languages at one of the local high schools. Beginning this fall he will teach a couple of sections of Chinese and he’s using the cards to get ready.
A couple of days ago we chatted for a bit about how he got interested in teaching Chinese; how the language differs from others (Spanish, French, Germans, etc); and the growing influence of China in all areas. The video runs just over six minutes.
