My true will is to create the best possible existence for myself and others through constructive creative output. I am especially interested in music, physical/conceptual design, problem solving, and human experiences but remain open to all possibilities and embrace all situations equally. I live in Vancouver, Canada but will travel anywhere for the right reason.Tumblr (3.0; @danebrown)http://danebrown.com/<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GgTGPJtvmS8&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GgTGPJtvmS8&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Watched this last night. It’s pretty raw. At first it seems that all the people living on the Mesa are total nut jobs but by the end you realize some of them are totally sane, solid people who have made a conscious choice and the rest are just doing the best they can. The number of young vets living that lifestyle is sad but not shocking.</p>http://danebrown.com/post/436253178http://danebrown.com/post/436253178Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:33:58 -0800<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz01braC421qz9woio1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Truths.</p> <p>via <a href="http://niallmcclelland.blogspot.com/2010/03/triangles.html" target="_blank">Niall McClelland</a></p>http://danebrown.com/post/436220664http://danebrown.com/post/436220664Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:16:39 -0800<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntY01qoIdus&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntY01qoIdus&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>I love this stuff.</p>http://danebrown.com/post/422968445http://danebrown.com/post/422968445Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:25:20 -0800<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://danebrown.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/418595185/tumblr_kykt6jRp2e1qz9woi&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>Gold.</p>http://danebrown.com/post/418595185http://danebrown.com/post/418595185Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:56:00 -0800<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxr7viNMsb1qz9woio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sean Orr continues to deliver.

The worse he did, the more popular he became. He subsequently became a media celebrity and appeared on talk shows around the world, appearing on the Johnny Carson Show during the Games. The press nicknamed him “Mr. Magoo”, and one Italian journalist called him a “ski dropper”.</p> <p>The widespread attention that Edwards received in Calgary turned into a large embarrassment for the ski jumping establishment. Many athletes and officials felt that he was ‘making a mockery’ of the sport. Shortly after the Olympics finished, the entry requirements were greatly toughened, making it next to impossible for anyone to follow his example.</p> <p>At the closing ceremony the president of the Organising Committee, Frank King, seemed to single out Edwards for his contribution: “At this Games some competitors have won gold, some have broken records and some of you have even soared like an eagle.” At that moment, 100,000 people in the stadium roared ‘Eddie! Eddie!’. It was the first time in the history of the games that an individual athlete had been mentioned in the closing speech.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=448082945401" target="_blank"><b>Join the group.</b></a></p>http://danebrown.com/post/385739792http://danebrown.com/post/385739792Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:27:00 -0800<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fWUuQhX6rHY&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fWUuQhX6rHY&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>“Boxing is the oldest fighting sport.
