Hide and seek

by Netvision 013.

I love this new commercial for the internet\telephony company.

I Met The Walrus

by Jerry Levitan.

This is just amazing.

From the video description: "In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message."

Carlton Banks (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) dance

played by Alfonso Ribeiro to the music of "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones.

If you ever in the need of a spirit lifting, do like me and watch this video.

UPDATE: The second video shows a younger Alfonso in an MTV commercial for his own "Breakin' and Poppin'" dance instruction package.

UPDATE: Unfortunately youtube decided to mute this video...

I have added some more funny videos of Carlton dance, but what I recommend you is to put some song on your computer (preferably "it's not unusual" by Tom Jones of course) and play the first video, it's definitely the best one.

small changes to my blog

I decided to try some of the new features that blogger beta (http://draft.blogger.com/) is offering. Here are some of them:

- added a list of my latest shared posts from my google reader to the sidebar.
- added a live blogroll which also shows the latest post from each blog.
- you can comment on posts directly from the post page (thank god blogger finally fixed that horrible user interface flaw).

There are few more toys I would want to add to my blog. One of them is the Jajah button which will allow you to call me directly from your phone for free using the Jajah service. At the moment this seems kind of useless as this blog don't even get regular comments... But maybe the new inline comments posting will encourage you to comment more and I will not feel ridiculous to add the Jajah button :). I am using the Jajah service for almost a year now and I am very very happy with it. If you know anyone outside of your country that you would want to talk on the phone with - I recommend you give Jajah a test drive.

And don't forget to come back here and comment about it :)

Wild World

by Cat Stevens (aka Yusuf Islam) and Mr. Big.





Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'

But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl

But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Baby, I love you

But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
