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.

I love that this article is working the circles (thanks Maruhlynne). Seems the FTC is so keen on stopping companies from manipulating bloggers, they’re making the companies liable for stuff bloggers write if they get a free sample. Or wait- here’s another idea. How about you just stop bribing bloggers? How’s that one fit? Here’s…
Need web hosting? I use BlueHost.com, and it’s less than $7 bucks and comes with easy WordPress install. It seems to work pretty well- I can even figure out how to do things sometimes all by myself. Go sign up to BlueHost using this link (or click the blue host ad in the sidebar) — I’ll get…
Some sites that will take your money if you’re desperate for views. Hmmm…
So you’re a student or recent graduate and have some ambition, good production skills and some decent equipment. Few companies are without a “wish list” for some video production, but either haven’t got the time to look (or more likely they think it’s going to be far more expensive than you’ll charge). Most know that…

It was absolute torture to be spending 3 hours on my 1-hour commute (snow) and not having the time to parody the iPad. So many thoughts, and no time to make a video. But I took solace in finding that MidnightBlade created this brilliant parody of Hitler’s response. The Hitler parodies are not new, and…

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.

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..

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.
