This was just to amazing to not post. I hope to one day be able to do at least one of the stunts he does.

I found this little gem a nd wanted to share it with you all.





I wonder how long it will take for Mainstream News to pick this up and spend days discussing it?

Robots and Pancakes

Finally a robot to solve my hygienic concerns with packaged Pancakes.

What can't technology solve?






I could stare at this robot stacking for about an hour before I would get sick of it.

Big Dog

I love robots plain and simple. Here is a progress report on Big dog.



My only question is when can I own one?

TV and Me

As most of you know I was part of a group of friends that made a short lived Television show called "Floor 42". Originally it was going to be a sketch comedy show where we would tackle the news, pop culture and other funny ideas that came to us. We figure we could make an episode a week with ease, we where mistaken to say the least.
Two years, two weddings, a few moves, an engagement and three completed episodes later we decided to put the show on the back burner because none of us really have the time, energy or financial backing to continue the show. An unspoken pact was made to place the show on the back burner and see if we could revive it in the future some time. Until that day arises the three completed episodes we made now live on Google video and youtube.

It has taken me a while to remember I haven't talked about these episodes on this blog before. So here they are with a few added comments by myself.



This first episode took us about 6 months to shot, edit and finalize. It was a very grueling process that showed us it would take more than an idea and some video equipment to make something of quality.





Ah Episode 2... you where something else. This episode was original recorded without me by the Vince's. I was a little angered by that but in the end it turns out the first take didn't have audio so we had to re-shoot and I got to be there for it. You cna also thank me for the crappy lighting. The most fun I had during this episode was driving around Minneapolis while filming the opening by Josh Parker. We where using some older 50lbs camera which got to be fairly annoying by the end of the day, we survived none the less.





Episode three was my attempt to inspire and re-energize us. I wrote the script, expanded how many people where in it and even added to the crew. We secured locations and tried to organize better than we had in the past. We also built sets and got a small budget for catering, no budget for anything else though. This by far is may favorite episode of the three that we completed.





Now there is a fourth episode. It is mostly an epic fight between myself and the camera man. A wonderfully shot and scored masterpiece it was never completed. We where about two or three days away form completing it and everything just fell apart. All motivation and drive just dissipated, we never finished it but if we had it would have been one of the greatest episodes we would have ever made.

10 Seconds of Pure Comedy

Now, this video is not a response to John McCain's Economic plan it is something better.





In the words of Nelson "Ha Ha!"

Waving a Flag Loud and Proud

Not to fly my flag of support too high but, I came across this video and found it to be very informative. Obama talks about some issues and policies that I feel would be a great improvement to Washington.

Check it out and by the way it is 22 minutes long.



What he proposes I feel would begin to address some of the major flaws that currently exist within your government. Lobbyist, special interests, No Bid contracts, wasteful government spending, and unchecked/balanced transfer of powers with into the government branches are just some of these issues. There are many that would come to light once these have been addressed.

Unless we the people start to take an active role in how our government operates and stop viewing it as a commodity. These flaws will continue to grow and consume anything that doesn't support them. We've seen it before and we're seeing it again.

So again the rally call goes out, "We Want Change! We Want Reform! We Want Something Better!" and I hope this time we can get it.


To be fair, I was looking for a video of John McCain's plan but was unable to find it if you know where it may be please let me know. No sense making a decision without hearing what the other side has to say.

The Films of Joel and Ethan Coen

This video was made by Paul Proulx from Hobnox. I found it to be one of the few mashup videos I could watch the whole way through. Enjoy

Politicians Only Hear What They Want to Hear

This was to funny not to post.

Wedding

Up top is a video put together by your wedding photographer Jason Alexander. I think he did a great job, We really enjoyed working with him. He was very relaxed and open to the odd suggestion or two, yet professional the whole time. He recently placed this video on his Blog along with many others. Head on over to his site and check it out: Apssite.

On anothe note, I haven't been updating this blog very often that is going to change. I shall make the promise that just about every other blogger makes.

"I will update this blog more."

Do as I say, not as I do

Personally I am a fan of the group Improv Everywhere. I haven't followed every little prank or "Improv" mission they have ever had but I have followed the more publicized events. Really these missions are non-malicious pranks that are beneficial to an unknowing host. This idea is similar to a computer virus that would do good things to your computer. While it is annoying that you have a virus and that this virus helped your computer without hurting it, it still didn't ask if you wanted it to help your computer.

The first mission I witnessed -not so much witnessed as saw online - was Best Buy. Now that I think about it I can remember a few times I've been in a store and happen to be wearing colors similar to that of store employees’ and being asked questions. My response always seems to be "Sorry, I don't work here.”

Their latest mission was:No Shirts. I'm glad someone decided to go and see if Abercrombie could take what they where serving. The organizer of this event really laid out why they are doing this. He has some good points, I'll stop explaining and let you watch the video.

This Cat Hates you

I found this on digg and figured i would have to share it with those of you who don't digg. This cat does hate you, no matter what you do.




Some should show this lady how to set the volume levels on her camera.

The Moment Captured

This video is very interesting I feel. Here's why: It's real. You may be saying "of course it's real" but, do you realize how real this is. On the internet these days so much of the video’s we see are crazy things happening, someone posing to do something normal and suddenly silly zaniness ensues or it's a clip of something real amazing happening. Any clip that is of dull ordinary things don’t even surface for a moment of glory. This is not a dull ordinary video. This is a moment captured in time. After the smiles and nods to the camera are done you see people just being people. Every day things you see all the time yet they are unique some how. That is really what turned my interest with this video.

Also there is a monkey hidden in the video somewhere.
