So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)

3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

Mathematic Expression in Music.

Ok last night after I posted I was looking at youtube and found one of the greatest videos ever made.

I am not a huge fan of Rap music, choreographed dancing, or Barney. But what happens when you combine them? You get the title of "The Awesomest video EVER!!!"

Here it is.



Was I right or what?

To-Do List

So I was preparing to write an interesting post about lead singers of bands or groups... but I found this interesting youtube.com video on my dashboard.




So from that video I have decided to weekly post my current to-do list. Since this is the first of the to-do lists It will be a list of things that I wanted or did accomplish this last week.


To-do list #1

1. Figure out what to get Robin for his Birthday. Only 8 days left.

2. Hang Tea Cup pictures, that have been sitting around the house for a year.

3. Keep looking for a job.

4. Stay current with my weightwatchers program.

5. Keep current with my Blog postings.

6. Learn a new song on the guitar.

7. Buy new strings. (strings broke due to number 6)

8. Buy wife flowers for anniversary.

9. Limit myspace.com visits to 5 times a day.

10. Pray more often for the Giants to do well this next season... I suppose they will now that Barry is gone.

11. Take care of the garbage.

12. Take a bike ride.

13. Finish Character profiles from my short story.

14. Be less critical of others.

15. Be less stalkerish when I am feeling nostalgic.

That was about all that I had time for this week, and to be honest I didn't really have time for all of it. Such as cleaning the computer room, or doing the laundry. I don't even remember what happened to number 20. Well check in next week, life should be more organized by then.

Ciao ciao,

Jumper

Check out this new movie called Jumper. It is based on a book written by Steven Gould. I love sci-fi movies and this is on the top of my list for 2008. Check out the trailer, and don't forget to see Jumper on Feb. 15, 2008.

Oppenheimer

I found it! The video for Oppenheimer's song "Saturday Looks Bad To Me" I watched it five times before I remembered that I was gonna share it with all of you. Watch it... enjoy it... and buy Oppenheimer's Self-titled album. Buy it here at amazon.com.

Enjoy... Laters,

Germs

I took a test while I was stumbling and it turns out that I am a very dirty individual. I tend to be very clean except when it comes to my keyboards I guess. Take the test it will open your eyes.

Enough from me,

Ciao, Ciao.

TMBG

I love They Might Be Giants. For my birthday this year my folks bought tickets to see They Might Be Giants at the Rio theater in Santa Cruz. Every time I have seen them they do nothing but impress and wow the crowd. They have a new album out called the Else. The video below is, one of their singles off the album, called "The Shadow Government." Also when you have a chance click over to their website at www.tmbg.com.

There was another band there that has got to be "my new favorite band of right now." That in my book is a prestigious title. (but I'll explain why in a later entry) The band is from Belfast, Ireland. They are called Oppenheimer. They have a self-titled album out now and it is incredible. On it they have a lot of great songs including my favorite "Saturday Looks Bad To Me." Get music check them out. I would tell you who they sound like or, in what type of music they play, but I hate making comparisons of one band to another, I just don't feel right doing so. I will tell you that they are a semi-electric indie. Great great stuff. I'll try and find a video of Oppenheimer to post for your viewing pleasure.

Laters,

Ryan
