Über Group says “Says aren’t the droids you’re looking for” but I beg to differ. These seems to be the droids that I didn’t know I was looking for. I was going to buy a new pair of Salomons this summer but now I wonder if I should hold off. Or is it all just one big tease?

The Gun Feed – Because Why Actually Create Something When You Can Just Use Other People’s Work?
Sunday, May 12th, 2013Ok, I get it. It’s easy for the reader. You go one place and get links to everybody’s stuff. But from my perspective it’s a bit different. I actually write some of the articles aggregators link to. Rarely do they even acknowledge it’s my link. Besides, there’s already a pretty good one of these out there for the shooting community. For the guys who create an aggregator it’s a simple decision. Why bust your hump writing articles everyday when you can just sit back and provide links to everyone else’s hard work and then sell advertising for it? Sounds like a good deal to me. Maybe, I’ll start one. At any rate, that’s the business plan for The Gun Feed, a new parasitic news aggregator. Here’s their press release.
Introducing The Gun Feed – Its like The Drudge Report for guns!
The Gun Feed is a new Drudge Report style news website that has just been launched. The Gun Feed is a 24/7 news website that is proudly devoted to the online firearms community, and that showcases the latest firearms news headlines from around the web. The website will be updated many times throughout the day, everyday and it will feature news links to articles on the second amendment, firearms related politics, guns and gear reviews, new product releases, blogger opinions and commentary, and anything else which comes along that might be of interest to Gunnies.
So go check it out… The website is now officially up and running and the first batch of headlines are now on the website to see. Bookmark it, make it your homepage, and visit back often because it will be getting regular updates from here on out.
BTW – It has a dedicated mobile page too so it works great on mobile devices… No app yet, but it is coming.
All correspondence, advertising inquiries, and news tips can be sent to TheGunFeed@Gmail.com… You can also connect with The Gun Feed on Twitter… @TheGunFeed
APOCALYPSE NOW
Saturday, May 11th, 2013If I had to pick a single favorite movie it would have to be Francis Ford Coppola’s epic, “Apocalypse Now”. I’d have to say that no other movie influenced my generation of Soldiers more.
So this afternoon when my friend Author, Adventurer and Stand Up Philosopher Robert Young Pelton (he also makes a pretty mean knife) shared this trailer on Facebook I had to post it here on SSD. I am pretty sure this is first trailer I saw for “Apocalypse Now” as an impressionable 11-year-old in the Summer of ’79. And, this is what captured my imagination. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
