Cool Census Data...

I thought the new 2010 Census data, released just today, was really cool. Looks like Utah will gain another seat in the House of Representatives. Looks like most of the other states that gained seats were predominantly Republican as well, so it will be interesting to watch the political landscape change as the Republicans take control of the House due to the recent election and these added seats.

A bright spot in the abysmal domestic auto market

I'm posting this for me, because the three people who read my blog probably won't care, but Ford is doing some awesome things these days.

Everything is amazing, nobody is happy.....

This is another funny clip about our times. It's been bouncing around for the last couple weeks, and I liked it so much that I had to add it. Enjoy.

If you can't afford it...

As part of a lesson on listening to the Prophet's counsel, my institute teacher showed this video clip in class yesterday. Yes, it does seem strange that a clip from Saturday Night Live should find its way into a gospel discussion, but it is totally appropriate. Given the current economic condition of our country, I say that this is social commentary at its finest. It is funny (and rare) to see the world in such harmony with the teachings of the Prophets.

Wonderful Video

The Church has a YouTube channel called MormonMessages. It is a wonderful place to spend some time. There are a handful of videos, each only a couple of minutes long. I highly recommend it. The channel can be found here:
