One of my favorite YouTube comics (who has a mean voice) David So and Paul Kim, another popular singer on YouTube takes the viewer on a journey of R&B music in this collaboration along with a jaw dropping surprise guest appearance around the 2:52 mark. After you watch this you will want to go to karaoke stat.

I love NYC. It’s my home, but I wouldn’t mind a week at one of these cabins so I can finally finish this book.

Despite the serious legal implications for content sharing, the best thing so far to emerge from the Megaupload shutdown has been Kim Dotcom (Yes, the website’s owner changed his surname from Schmitz to DOTCOM) and the photo above that best illustrates his Hype Williams rap video lifestyle: “He surrounded himself with glamorous women and fast cars bearing number plates such as “GUILTY”. He likened himself to Dr Evil, a movie villain, though he looks more like Dr Evil’s henchman, Fat Bastard.”

Skip to the 0:23 mark to see why this still life “painting” by Scott Garner is brilliant and blog worthy, because you know, “blog worthy” is the ultimate compliment in life 2.0.

Brittany Powell’s sandwiches inspired by various iconic artists. Don’t miss Brittany’s series of self-help books: My favorite is the two part series, “Take Control” and “Give Up Control.”

When art and video games collide.

On This Date

Matthew Rodriguez — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:00:31 +0000

On this date exactly 32 years ago, a singer by the name of Prince made his national television debut on American Grandstand. A handsome baby who would grow up to blog under the nom de plume “MRod” was also born on this exact same date.

GOP Mexican standoff

Am I the only one that is reminded of the “Mexican standoff” scene from the “murder” episode of The Office when watching these Republican primary debates?
