Start your day watching this great new video series by Joss Whedon starring Neal Patrick Harris. A bunch of super-heroes and wannabe super-villians break into song. If you remember the musical Buffy Series or even the musical episode of scrubs you will probably like this

This morning I went for a ride in the park before it was open to traffic. Then a few cars passed and I started biking in the bike lane getting more and more annoyed at the joggers, walkers, and odd starers who continued to be in my way instead of moving to the inner lane. I began saying things like "the park is open get to the left" which is what they are supposed to be doing. I did this for a bit and then noticed that the cars weren't going all the way around and the people I'd been yelling at must have thought I was a crazy asshole. I was in fact right but also wrong and when I realized it could only sheepishly hang my end and ride slowly home.
