Turkeys in Hot Pursuit

This is the first time I’ve been chased by wild turkeys on the way to work. Their pursuit concerned me at first, especially since my people had just finished massacring and eating their people, but early in the chase it became clear they were friendly, playful even.

Now I know where the term ‘Turkey Trot’ comes from.

I’m confident the new iPhone will have more new features than this, but this version should suit most use cases.

This clip is from s3e5 of Phineas and Ferb, the Phineas’ Birthday Clip-O-Rama! Starting at the 30-second mark is why I love this show.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow: from deep inside the Jonathan+Gabi archives

Gabi and I watched Meet Joe Black last night—her for the first time, me for the second (or third). The first song in the closing credits is Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s ukulele version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The song reminded me of the version of the song in the video below that Gabi and I performed for the Franciscan University talent show back in college before we were married, circa Fall 2005.

It’s quite a bit different than Kamakawiwoʻole’s version and far cry from Judy Garland’s original. There’s one weird jump in the recording about half way thorough, but still, it’s worth watching for Gabi’s vocal acrobatics.

Do you think Gabi and I should take this show on the road?

Jeff Desom made this incredible time lapse video created from clips of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film Rear Window. In the video, the whole story unfolds in order, but the only thing you see is the panoramic view from the window. The movement of the small figures in the distance let you know where to direct your attention. The video is set to a great soundtrack, Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5. Desom shared how he made the video on his website.

I’m not a sy-fi geek, but this video has something for everyone. It has a few things to agree with and a few things to disagree with. 

This is not my presentation..I hope

I’m giving a few presentations for work at the end of this month. I’m nervous but hopeful that they’ll turn out better than this:

As much as I enjoyed this video, it was probably because it was a complete (yet well done) rip off of this video by Britanick.
