For anyone who has a TomTom GPS thingie (my parents, for example) you now have the ability to be guided to your destination by Darth Vader (or master Yoda, I believe…) And who wouldn’t want that? 🙂 The video above is a “behind the scenes” look at the recording session with Lord Vader… good stuff….

Sunday Morning
Our friend Marie showed us this video tonight. If you’ve ever had any part in the planning and execution of a local Sunday morning “show” … I think you’ll get a few laughs from this video, too. 🙂 Enjoy!
(A Very Brief) iPad Review
Last week we went up to our local Apple Retail Store and got to actually touch the new iPad! And, yes… it was fantastic, as advertised. I thought it might be fun to highlight a couple of things that I noticed and would say make the iPad worth the purchase. Certainly you may have a…
Trololo?
Thanks to a friend of ours, we have now been exposed to an apparent internet phenomenon, a video of a lip-syncing Russian from 1978, singing a song without any words. Yes. You read that right. The reason we know it’s a phenomenon is the incredible number of alternate versions available on YouTube, including this very…
Give It Back!
Our current favorite ad during Sabres’ games these days is one the announcers read for the Upstate New York Transplant Services, that says: “You’ve been given the gift of life… give it back.” Depending on your inflection … it can be quite funny!
iPad: Coming April 3rd
I have received a couple promo emails from Apple today, and thought perhaps I’d pass it along here. The iPad will be shipping April 3rd. Some of you can’t wait. I am going to wait. I am excited to play with it, but I really think that this will be a bit like the iPhone,…
The Hours – Ali In The Jungle
I posted a video here a few days ago of a Nike commercial that we really liked. (Still do, in fact.) But, the song that we bought from the video—Ali in the Jungle – The Hours—needs to not be missed. (Just in case you did.) The song was picked up by Nike for use in…
It’s Not Where You’re From, It’s Where You’re At
Nike: The Human Chain I’m not 100% sure of the title of this commercial, but I saw it several times during the Olympics and really liked it. The commercial is very visually creative (and cool) and I like the song. Especially the line, “It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.” We just started…
Fan Boy?
On the half-hour drive home from celebrating our daughter’s 6th birthday, we somehow remembered the famous Get A Mac ads that Apple has so brilliantly done for the past several years. I think it started with our oldest son and I quoting from one of them. Well, from there we remembered that the complete library…
Steven Curtis Chapman: This Moment
Also available as an MP3 Download ($9.49) Steven Curtis Chapman has always been one of my favorite songwriters. At least, “always” since I began listening to music that would be labeled “Christian” in my late teens. (Holy cow, that seems so long ago…) For whatever reason—for many reasons—his music and his lyrics really connect with…
