NFL - Bad Lip Reading

Hope you have enjoyed Super Bowl weekend so far.

Here is an oldy, but goodie.

It is kind of the opposite of one of those old Kung Fu movies where the dubbed words you hear aren't synched with the mouth movement. 

Here it looks like they are saying what you hear ... it's just that someone changed the words.  You could call it "So THAT'S what they were saying ..."

 This video works for the same reason trading often doesn't ... Humans are great at finding patterns (even when there isn't really a pattern to find).

Regardless, this was fun (and it's gotten almost 70 million views on YouTube).

 

 

Recently, they also did one with clips from Trump's Inauguration.  

Pretty funny. 

Quick, Draw!

Our non-human overlords haven't taken over yet.

However, A.I. is getting smarter faster.

Can a neural network learn to recognize doodles?

Google's Quick, Draw! will try and guess what you're drawing.

It did pretty well with mine, and I did not inherit my dad's artistic skills.

Kind of cool!

Lots of crazy stories from the Olympics.  For example, an Olympic Kayaker capsized after hitting a submerged sofa.  At least they figured out how to deal with the mosquitos.

How Not to Exercise - Video

Sometimes just knowing what you want to do is not enough.

Spending time and energy doing the wrong thing doesn't necessarily take you in the direction of your desired results.

Watch this video of people misusing their exercise equipment.  It's pretty funny.

 

 via JuJitsu Times.

You get the point.

There is always a way to be a little better!

I was in Phoenix for a meeting this past week. 

Usually, the highlight of a trip like that entails desert vistas.  This time, however, I had a chance to visit the stadium where the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl was held (and thanks to some friends at Infusionsoft, got to see a game there too).

 

 

It was kind of cool to watch a celebration of those just a little better than who they play against.

There is always a way to be a little better!
