Pug Pushes a Stroller

So cute!

From: RusticOregon

Jenny the Pug pushes her Nintendog Pug puppies around Portland, Oregon. She leaves from our home, goes under the St Johns Bridge, visits Waterfront Park, Downtown Portland, Union Station, Pittock Mansion, Rose Gardens, the Grotto, and returns back home.

The song is 'Child's Garden' by Dax Johnson, a very talented Pacific Northwest songwriter and musician, who sadly left us way too soon. There is a pop-up on the video that lets you buy it from iTunes. Dax lives on through his music.

A Great Wedding Entrance

They choreographed the entrance well, and danced to the song "Forever" by Chris Brown.



Their video, once it was on YouTube, became popular in only a week, with 10 million views on YouTube. Once the rights holders of the song found out, they could of had YouTube take the song out of the video, but instead decided to put a link on the video to allow people to buy the song.

It worked, and the song itself is popular again, too. Read all about it at: www.googleblog.blogspot.com.

Yet Another Work Day

"Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
so that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah."

Well, it's not as bad as all that. But sometimes I feel that way first thing in the morning on a work day.



"My Maserati does 185
I lost my license now I don't drive
I have a limo ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked"

My car doesn't go that fast, especially while in traffic jams. However, Life's Been Good to Me So Far.



I had some coffee. Time to get some work done. I better Bust A Move.



Back from lunch. I think I ate too lunch. I'd better do the Unskinny Bop.



I'm not Yoshima, and the cars are not pink robots. But, I want to get home, and a laser beam on my car would be nice to get through this traffic jam.



And the work day comes to an end.

Peaceful

Life has its good days, and its bad. After an especially hard day, sometimes listening to some peaceful music can help us hang on. Tomorrow could be better.

This video was filmed the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. It looks great on a full screen.

I hope you have only good tomorrows!

Side Of The Road

Sometimes we feel like we are at the side of the road. Are we starting a new adventure, or running away from our old troubles? Either way, you don't necessary have to go alone. Erik Penny will join you.


If you are on the side of the road, I hope you find a friend to join you on your new adventure.

The Cabonauts

A new Science Fiction web series is coming later this year, on DailyMotion. It's called The Cabonauts.

From their web site:

It’s 2183 AD and humans have finally conquered the stars. But the inky blackness that separates the galaxies and the hundreds of thousands of human outposts and colonies is vast and needs a firm hand to navigate. Which is why Cabonauts Inc. is so handy—you can just call a cab.

Harry’s learning to get his hack license and Cyril is his instructor. They’ve been friends forever, but the crappy economy has forced them to work together. We follow them as they take their passengers (played by iconic sci-fi actors & actresses) around the galaxies.

And did we mention each episode breaks into a full original song & music video?

Also, Nichelle Nichols of the original Star Trek has joined the cast!

Dante's Inferno

This looks like a good video game to play around Halloween time. However, it is not planned to be released until January 2010.

From Wikipedia:

Dante's Inferno is an upcoming third-person Hack and Slash video game to be published by Electronic Arts and in development by Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores).[2] The game is loosely based on the canticle of the same name from Dante Alighieri's epic poem Divine Comedy.
