…just sat down and watched most the super bowl commercials on hulu. Here’s my favorites, have fun:
“I’m good”
“Broken Wings”

This looks like a great little plane! Only costs $140K, so I’m thinking of picking one up next weekend (I’m busy picking up my jaguar this weekend) :o)
Here’s a more detailed article on it
For probably all of those who know me, you know I love military aircraft, especially fighter jets.
Tonight, I found this great video while Eden was awake as ever at 2am :o) If you’ve got a few minutes to get sucked into an amazing movie, feel free to take a look!
