Oh damn this is cool. Bobby McFerrin turns the entire stage into a keyboard, and the audience into his pipes. It’s a fascinating demonstration of our brains in action. Well, not your brain and my brain. We’re just receiving the encoded video. But Bobby’s and the audience. Not the doctors on the stage either. They look like they can’t wait until it’s over.

So some kids got cited by police for rapping a McDonalds drive-through order. You can see they look like criminals. If I was Nancy Grace, I’d pronounce them guilty, and save the justice system a fortune. I’m not sure I can top this quip by AdFreak’s David Griner: As a public service, AdFreak would like…
Hear a baby crying in a stroller in NYC? May want to let that pass. Could be a devil baby that contorts itself and pukes. In this particular case, it may be a robot designed by the folks at Thinkmodo for another horror film promotion (remember the Carrie telekinetic prank in a NYC coffee shop?)….
There are three types of readers of this blog. Those that scan it for industry tips, people who find it accidentally via my videos, and those of you who are hard-core members of the WillVideoForFood backrow. This one’s for you, peeps. Last night I took the kids to recreation station, a playground near our house….
Australian native and California-based Mark Day gives crocodiles the abuse they deserve for never having finished off Steve Irwin (the Croc Hunter that sadly died from a sting ray this week). Day’s short comedic bits are funny, tasteless and timely. This one ends especially well and you’ll appreciate it unless you’re PETA, still getting over…
Check out Diana, a random stranger on Chatroulette (where two webcams are randomly paired). Little did she know that a personalized love-song and proposal was waiting for her… by DoneRightJr on YouTube. Epic “top comment” below since Chatroulette is notorious for pervs.
Here’s my wife and I testing her iPhone (AT&T) against my Palm Pre (Verizon) to see which one could shoot and upload best to YouTube. Turns out my Palm Pre failed to post after an hour, so I had to do it manually. Her iPhone compressed the video, and had it live in minutes. Winner:…

That IS cool. I like. On the other hand, it’s scary. How easily we groupthink. Interesting.
Don’t worry, Be Happy! *whistling* 🙂
Very interesting. I wonder what it is about the pentatonic scale that is so intrinsically ingrained that people automatically extrapolate to it from a couple of notes.
Pentatonic scale rules!
It’s because that tonality is the basis for most popular music.
It has seeped into our subconscious because we have heard it so much. He gave the audience enough notes that they could extrapolate the rest.
I saw another video with him that I thought was cool.

If you don’t like it you can just STFU!!!
Tell the FDA to stop cattle companies from feeding billions of pounds of chicken waste to cows that make our hamburgers.
I was in an audience back in the mid nineties when he did something like this. I was getting all geeky and getting into it and singing along with him. People thought I was a dork.
Went backstage afterwards to say good job to him and some other musicians, and I swear he was givin’ me the eye. Probably thought I was some groupie hoping to service him or something.
Okay..now my brain hurts.
@8 I blame the chicken manufacturers for the fact that I am now developing breasts…or because my 7 year old niece is developing breasts.. I can never keep that straight..
@10 Could be that you looked mixolidyian to him..
^ As long as you keep your hands on YOUR breasts, you’ll be all right.
Geeze, pedophilia jokes are always creepy, aren’t they!?
Jeeze! Lacking inflection causes so many problems.
Now I am forced to explain!!! IT wasn’t intended to come over that way. First I don’t have a 7 year old niece. Second I was drawing a comparison between to the fact that the hormones in the chicken are causing children to mature faster and my gynocomastia.
There you made me say it!!
ARRRRRGGGG!
^ Hahaha! Don’t freak out on us, Jimmer. We all KNEW she isn’t REALLY your niece.

Oh man… a whole chat on this blog last night and I missed it. Because I fell asleep at 8:45 with my son Charlie.
^ A whole chat? More like a halfchat, I think. Or did you mean A*hole chat? Pleasant dreams.
