Now that all the hype has died down…relatively speaking, I guess it would be okay for me to say a few words about Avatar (no, not the Last Airbender:)). James Cameron proved, once again, that he could make and hype a movie towards box office gold. If for some reason you do not know who James Cameron is, well, then you’ve been living in a hole for the last two decades. Alternatively, if you have been watching any movies at all over the last two decades, then you have probably seen a James Cameron film. The man has written and […]
Michael Jackson's P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)
Sorry, but I love this song. Just listening to it makes me feel a little better when I’m feeling down. Figured I’d blog it so I can have a place to easily find it when I wanna hear it 🙂 I mean, it’s MY blog after all 😛 P.Y.T. is a song by Michael Jackson of course and was one of the (many) singles from his Thriller album. The version we all know and love is pretty much a remix of the slower demo version. Eything you need to know about the track can be found on Wikipedia. Click here […]
The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers
The LXD – The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers I was put on to these guys by seeing them perform a routine on So You Think You Can Dance (Season 6 Week 6 Episode 20). I thought the performance was inventive, unique, entertaining and very skillfully done. Pretty much the opposite of 85% of the stuff you might see while watching America’s Best Dance Crew. So, like any other internet savvy person of today, I started searching. Outside of their appearances on television, they completed three seasons of a LXD web series. The series is broken into segments but tells an […]
Google Wave
Google Wave went bye-bye completely on April 30, 2012. If you still have any interest in the Wave project then check out the Apache Wave documentation as well as the Wikipedia entry for it. See also waveprotocol.org Finally got my Google Wave invite. I have eight sixteen 25 invites I can send as well. If you want one, just ask. But please don’t ask if you’ve already applied for an invite. I don’t think these invites are instantaneous. If you have Google Wave and want to connect with me: silenciobarnes@googlewave.com Here is a video showing Wave in action :)) below […]
Skippy Snack Bar Commercial With the Elephants
Have You Seen the Skippy Snack Bar Commercial With the Elephants? I have no idea how people didn’t like this commercial…I mean, really…It’s SKIPPY! That’s what’s in the jar, the very same Skippy, that’s what’s in the bar! Honestly, I thought they caught a legitimate reggae vibe with this one. The song has been stuck in my head for years now. To this day I randomly up and start singing it. See for yourself. skippy A horde of hungry elephants scarfing down Skippy Snack Bars while enjoying a reggae concert during Spring Break. You can’t beat that. 😉 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xeg4p_skippy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM6dFRN-5TU […]
Alice In Wonderland
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.” This post was originally for Tim Burton’s 2010 Alice in Wonderland movie. Since then, that movie has come and gone, and even spawned a sequel. And while I was excited about this one…I was ultimately disappointed by it. But that’s me. Below you will find a lot more information on Alice in Wonderland in general. […]
