Space Shuttle: The Final Flight

// December 1st, 2011 // No Comments » // Space Stuff & NASA, Video

NASA TV’s YouTube channel added this 17 minute video yesterday, and it’s a pretty cool historical account of our now retired space shuttle program, along with a little voice over by William Shatner, insight from astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson and a soundtrack by Rush.

It’s all so amazing, and here’s to the next chapter of space exploration.

In case you missed it, the Kennedy Space Center had another successful launch this past weekend, sending the Mars-bound Curiosity car-sized rover into outer space.

Congrats to everyone involved in successfully launching the Atlas 5 rocket with its large precious cargo sitting atop!

Here’s the premiere of Tyler’s second spy movie trailer, chocked full of Tyler randomness and craziness. iMovie really makes these fun and easy to do.

Bicycle Wheel Animations Visible Only Through a Video Camera

My friend Bret tweeted this over to me earlier today. While I’d never subject my road bikes to such aero-killing designs, love the video and ingenuity these people came up with utilizing a bike and a video camera.

Grand Theft Auto V Premier Trailer

// November 2nd, 2011 // No Comments » // Gaming, Video

My little rockerI’m getting fewer and fewer hours with the old XBox 360, though my son is starting to be intrigued by the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series of games. See the thumbnail to the right.

Love that picture!

Anyway, this first trailer of the new GTA game looks great, and it seems that Rockstar Games has continued to make good and deep games in the series.

This trailer also reminded me that I never finished GTA IV.

I got stuck on the last mission. Maybe I need to revisit.

‘Unkown’ Lance Armstrong at Tour de France 1994

// October 31st, 2011 // No Comments » // Cycling, Video

This is interesting piece that aired during the 1994 Tour de France, when American Lance Armstrong really wasn’t known in America.

It took a lot of interviewing of Texas’ locals before someone correctly identified the young cyclist as a young cyclist.

Look at how young Lance was BTW.

Ladies, Do Have Your Halloween Costume Yet?

// October 27th, 2011 // No Comments » // Funny Stuff, Holidays, Video

So Halloween is right around the corner. Our office has its costume contest tomorrow. I’ll post pictures from that, including the costume that I’ve stressed over, and hopefully will have time to finish up this evening. *fingers crossed*

This is an oldie, but a goodie. I’ve posted it before, but it’s worth posting again, especially since we established at lunch that not everyone’s seen this classic Halloween clip from CollegeHumor.com:

This is freaking awesome! Remember Michael Winslow from the Police Academy series of movies? In one of the movies, he did a cool Jimi Hendrix deal. This one is even cooler.

Tyler's First Go-Karting

// October 13th, 2011 // No Comments » // Family, Personal Crap, Video

So Tyler got his first taste of Go-Karting at the local Frankie’s fun park this past weekend. He loved every minute of riding shotgun several times with daddy, mommy and uncle. He was grinning ear-to-ear. Check out the video below.
