Okay, these guys are just way too good…
I stumbled across these guys when I saw this really neat video on Youtube. “The Piano Guys” are a couple of musicians that re-do popular music with piano and cello and other instruments. They use them to re-interpret the music as well, as in the “Cello Wars” video, which also has fun with the cello artist playing both the “good” Jedi and the “evil” Sith on dueling cellos. Look for the appearance of “Darth Vader”… One … Read entire article »

AnimeUSA 2011 Last day pics
Pictures from the third and last day of AnimeUSA 2011. Kind of a shame, there has been an anime convention in Crystal City since at least 1997, and this will be the last one for the foreseeable future.

Now, if this thing doesn’t make you want to go out to the garage and throw together some kind of music-making thingamajig, I don’t know what would! Apparently this guy, Leonard Solomon, makes all kinds of musical instruments out of, well, stuff. He gives performances of his musical and geeky machinery, since at least 1985.

Well? What would YOU do?
Three years old, and she’s already got the right idea, if monsters come into your room, what would you do? This is very important, because monsters can sneak in when you aren’t looking! Don’t really know what part of them is their “ask”, though… I love her Mom’s reaction, she doesn’t want to laugh, but how can you not? … Read entire article »

Cats and fire (taking a break before the next rant)…
I’ve never seen a cat deal with fire before, so this may be natural. I suspect not, though. The owner’s comment states that this cat likes the taste of its own singed fur, but I’m not convinced. It does seem to be licking its paws a lot, but then I’d be doing that too if my hand got too hot trying to handle an open flame. At any rate, the cat … Read entire article »
