Turquoise Jeep Records on Tour

The artists of Turquoise Jeep Records are planning to tour a few cities around the country. Thankfully for me…NYC is included in the list.

For those not in the know…please watch the brilliance below:
(Thanks to Eric Feezy for the tip!)

Classic Bruce Material

A blast from the past!

Anthem Blue Cross Guitar Grandpa Commercial

I’ve said it before…and I’ve ALWAYS been right.

One of the funniest videos on Youtube that I don’t think is attempting to be funny.

“Sometimes…you just have to pull the plug.”

…and is there anything better than the face he makes after, “Give it to me…” and begins shredding?

Doug’s Heart Will Go On

Made this for an old co-worker…

…and who can forget the great “Santa Claws” experiment where you controlled an actual claw machine online! I actually won too!

New Work Computer

Today In the next couple of days I should be getting the new computer I asked for at work. There’s really nothing WRONG with the current one per se…ok yes there is…it’s an old Pentium 4 with minimal memory. Initially I requested it so I could run my favorite linux distro, Ubuntu

I would like to take a moment to wish Ubuntu a healthy future. It was fun while it lasted, what 3 years or so. Alas, me being a web developer and your lack of compatibility with Photoshop just don’t mix and I’m moving on to greener Mac Mini pastures.

So now I’m in the process of backing up all the files from this box so I don’t lose anything important. This means there will be a lot of posting on here in the coming days as I come across long forgotten funny pictures or videos.

You’ve been warned!

Anyways…I’ll treat this post like any other. Today I’m addicted to the song “Cousin Corona” by Yuck. You should be too:

Hello From 2012!

It’s taken me a while to get back into the swing of things here! (With a domain like ‘worldISending’ you’d think 2012 would be an important one. #mayans #rapture)

Anyway I’m back and off to an amazing start. Good friends, good times aplenty already and I met/shook hands with Phish bassist Mike Gordon last Friday. Gordo and a few other musicians did a live re-imagining of, “Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks” which is a tribute Brian Eno did about the NASA moon landings. They played the original movie on a screen in the background and they all just jammed some slow spacey/drone sounds. Not what you would expect at all and that’s what he said when Jen and I spoke to him. “Well that was different huh?” then went on to say that him and Fishman used to listen to the original soundtrack a lot back in the day and stuff.

…still speechless. What can top that in 2012?

TIME TO FIND OUT

A Very Dubstep Christmas

I could sit here for a while coming up with dubstep related xmas puns but I won’t.

Thomas Edison must be rolling

…in his grave…IN HIS GRAVE!

Saks Fifth Avenue Projected Light Show Christmas 2011

Saks Fifth Avenue is mostly known for their awesome window displays during Christmas. They also adorn the front entrance with elaborate decorations. This year, was an incredible light projection with animated gears, snowflakes, bubbles, and other things. It tied into the fantasy theme for this years window display, “Land of the Bubblemakers”

Cat Yawns Overdubbed With Screams

This Folgers Commercial Makes Me Cringe

Folgers, you hit the nail on the head with the now legendary “Rockapella” commercial, which I still know by heart.

How can you let a slip-up like this go to air again this year?
The “West Africa” line at the 00:14 mark makes me want to punch someone.

Gone 2 Lunch

Was messing around with the awesome iPhone app VidRhyhtm from Harmonix.

It tells you to make noises, takes your picture as you do it, and mashes everything up into an awesome final result.

This one I made literally as I was walking to get lunch.
