Over the past few days I have discovered and fallen in love with mashup. Mashup are then someone take at least 2 song (often many more) and mixes them together.  I common mashup would be to use the vocal of one song with the music from an other.  I have know of there existence for many years but its wants till recently that I discovered how popular they have become. There are tons of sites like http://goodblimey.com/tunes/ and http://mashup-charts.com that host thousands of mashups.  The one posted here is currently one of my favorits  it’s a mix of Ke$ha’s “Tic Tok” and the Beatles “Together”… Enjoy

This is a great ad the really uses the power of youtube.  I remember about 5 years ago a guy and a chicken suite did something very similar to this, just not nearly as polished.  Enjoy

I know that my spelling skills are sub par. And having a computer with spell check since grade 2 ( Word Perfect 5.2) has not helped my case. But I can’t figure out why the spell check in gmail often has no clue what I’m trying to type, yet a quick google search of my attempt to spell corrects it every time. Why?

Though there is nothing techie about this post I had to share because this is by far the best chili I have ever tasted

I love Lamont High! I show up to work and the have a breakfast bar set up.

Now that I own a house I’m trying to think of ways to get out of house work. I think this solves the issue of lawn care.
