Star Wars Day!

I gave you a hint about the importance of today in Friday's post. Today is Star Wars Day, so called because May the Fourth sounds like "may the force" from the phrase "May the force be with you". I don't really have anything special planned. I am not even sure what that would entail. And there are no new movies due until the end of the year.

In honor of today, I have included a link of Star Wars facts. To whet your appetite, here is a preview of the things you will learn.
Chewbacca’s voice is a blend of bear, lion, walrus, and badger vocalizations. R2-D2’s “voice” was made using loops on a synthesizer matched with beeps and boops modeled after baby coos performed by Burtt himself. Darth Vader’s infamous breathing was recorded by putting a microphone inside a regulator on a scuba tank. The Tusken Raider yowl is a mixture of mule sounds and people imitating mule sounds. The lightsaber whoosh was made by blending the hum of an idle 35mm film projector and passing a slightly broken microphone cable by the tubes of an old television set

So, how badly do you think your tax burden from 2014 hurt you? Might it be less burdensome in a different country? You can check out the average tax burden and how they have changed since 2007 here. Spoiler alert: NZ is now the cheapest.

Healthy options at six fast food restaurants? I've got your back.

Worried about feng shui? It is not a disease. It is a Chinese philosophy of harmonizing with your environment. It is also a premise for today's historical Clarity of Vision.












In the "A dream is a wish your heart makes" category, it is time for you to dust off your essay writing skills. Oh, and you $150 raising skills. With those two things, you have a chance to win your own 85-goat farm in Alabama. Of course it is mortgage-free.

For only about $50, you can be part of the future. I am NOT talking about freezing your head or body after you die. I am suggesting that the Wink Hub could be a great way to start automating things in your house and controlling them via your smartphone. To add new items (such as the light bulb below) to it, just scan the bar code on the box.
















Outta things to share and outta time, so I am outta here. Until tomorrow.
