For archiving purposes … IT’S FRIDAY!!! (thanks to Rebecca Black’s 100 million views YouTube video)
Those crazy Russians – winter sailing
RichC | March 29, 2011
Although many in our government advocates for green or sustainable transportation, something tells me that driving a sailboat on the roadways around here … with sails up … would not be applauded by our city police or state highway patrol. This nationalclass.ru YouTube video clip made me smile 🙁 Content removed
Wake up to the smell of jet fuel in the in the morning
RichC | November 19, 2010
What a rush — just hold down your “Bile and Regurgitated Food” please – aka: BARF.
Blog issue: Hosting improvements delaying posts
RichC | September 7, 2010
I’m noticing a few glitches from the weekend’s updates to the servers … posts and delayed posts. Hopefully this ‘test post’ will appear at noon on Tuesday and that I’ll get a few photos from my EAA chapters Taildragger Fly-in and Pancake breakfast posted this evening too. Adding an old 1977 Jackson Browne song just […]
Humor: “Bring a chicken to the doctor” – funny campaign ad
RichC | April 24, 2010
This campaign ad is juvenile even for a Harry Reid, but it’ had me laughing pretty hard. Sorry Sue Lowden, even though I’d comfortably vote for your over your opponent Senator Harry Reid (if I lived in Nevada), it’s just too funny not to share. Hmm, I wonder if my daughter will be able to […]
Online video performers Rhett & Link here in SW Ohio
RichC | May 14, 2009
I was disappointed last week to have missed seeing Rhett and Link in Fairfield Ohio while out of town on Thursday, but since then I’ve noticed them on several network news shows talking about a controversial Red House Furniture video (my previous post). I didn’t find the video all that offensive or really all that […]
Fun with Rhett & Link and iPhone app Leaf Trombone
RichC | May 6, 2009
Short on time tonight, so here a YouTube comedy video from Rhett & Link that promotes an iPhone app called Leaf Trombone World Stage. They are best known for their internet videos and are self-proclaimed “Internetainers”. In addition to their web presence, Rhett & Link are also musicians and filmmakers, and have worked in network […]
Viral Video: web video clips that just take off …
RichC | February 10, 2009
It is interesting to ponder what make for a viral video? Here’s a YouTube clip where a dad records his “still woozy” son after a trip to the dentist. Hard to believe this clip is closing in on 7 million views since was posted 10 days ago!
Superbowl XLIII commercials & the Audi Transporter ad
RichC | February 3, 2009
Although all the Superbowl 43 ads are here, I’m only going to embed one … not because it is a favorite, but because I know my Audi-loving son will enjoy it (besides we both enjoyed the Tranporter movies with Jason Statham). Check out the making of the Audi Superbowl ad below …
Easy pwnyoutube.com video downloader
RichC | February 1, 2009
Here’s an interesting three letter “pwn” technique that provides for a very easy way to download a YouTube clip that you might want to save. The trick is to use the pwnyoutube.com site in a shortcut way by navigating to a YouTube video then putting the letters “pwn” in front of the “youtube” part of […]
Brian Regan “Ironing Board” reenactment
RichC | December 18, 2008
A few months ago my daughter and I enjoyed listening to comedian Brian Regan together. Since then, I’ve mentioned his reasonable clean comedy act (at least everything I have heard) to several friends who continue to point me to the audio and video segments that tickle their funny bone. I noticed a slew of Brian […]
New Kubota ZD326s diesel ‘zero-turn’ mower
RichC | July 26, 2008
After 23 years of mowing with our sturdy John Deere diesel tractor mower, we have finally succumb to the “keep up with the Jones” pressure of a new zero-turn style mower. The neighbor ladies referred to my wife as “the turtle” while mowing with the old slowpoke John Deere, even though it has continued to […]
A Volkswagen TDI Van and the A-Team
RichC | July 2, 2007
A bit of immaturity to start off the month of July and the lazy couple of days preceding the 4th of July Wednesday holiday. (Its really a week I should have scheduled a vacation, but then again about half of America will probably be doing that?) Remember the television series the A-Team? Here’s a little […]
Beta Testing of Sling for Palm OS devices
RichC | February 28, 2007
I’ve been signed up, but not been offered a beta of the Slingplayer Palm OS software to install on my Palm Treo 700p … would like to give it a try though. For those of you unfamiliar with the Slingbox/SlingPlayer, its a hardware device that plugs into your computer network and broadcast your television signal […]
FutureCar episode on Discovery Channel
RichC | February 27, 2007
According to the Treehugger website, the Discovery Channel will air a FutureCar episode on Wednesday, February 28th … it might be worth recording. One of the cars worth considering is the Opel Eco Speedster. Its a concept car, but shows just was a sleek high performance diesel is capable of doing. The powerplant is a […]
