After studying each single hi-res frame scan of the Zapruder film this week, I’ve reached a conclusion. And while I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist or history buff, and while I know there are people who have dedicated their entire lives to studying this topic, I’ve decided with relative personal finality that JFK was killed by two gunmen. I have no idea what relevance this has to anything, but at least it justifies me having spent 10 hours on Thanksgiving Day 2002 watching that marathon documentary on the History Channel.

1. Paco Rosic’s Sistine Chapel in Spray Paint - When I read about this, and before I saw the outcome, I expected it to be a terrible knockoff. But this guy nails it. The Krylon color alone makes it come alive and pop off the ceiling with such drama. Very well done (although I wonder about the logistics of having to spray upside down…)
2. Falling gas prices - Though I’m sure I’m speaking too soon, I’ve been so thankful recently for the slowly receding price of gas. When planning for vacation earlier this summer, I expected it to be in the mid $3 range, but thankfully it was no where close. I saw it this morning for $1.97 (and with no Kroger 15-cent discount either!)
3. Biff’s Song - Hey! It’s that guy from Back to the Future! I guess he’s doing some stand up now (and still had a career, good for you!) and I found this performance to be quite amusing. Ahh, childhood.
4. The Cut & Paste Design Contest - A very cool concept. I’m not sure if they do these elsewhere in the country, but a club-style gathering of Photoshopfreaks in a graphic rap battle of sorts…very cool indeed. It’s like 8 Mile, but for designers!
5. Friends with babies - Last night’s email announcing the birth of one of my closest friend’s first children made me smile endlessly. I’m so happy for both of them. Andrea looked like the happiest woman about to go into labor I’ve ever seen. Hooray baby Ethan!

Perhaps next week I will have figured out (for myself) who killed Biggie and Tupac. Although I’m already certain it was Suge Knight. Or the White House. Actually I’m torn on that one.
