Last month I covered the Profiles in History auction that was taking place online. You could have bid on an original Mac computer that was given to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry by Apple. I just got an email listing some of the other items that were available to bid and that others won.

There were some really cool items auctioned off, both from a historical significance and for those sci-fi and movie buffs. Check-out these items and the prices they went for in the auction.

$141,600 – Original Amelia Earhart flight goggles worn during her historic 1932 solo transatlantic flight. …read more

It’s not impacted my daily life. Not sure if anyone would be surprised by that or not. What am I talking about? The loss of Michael Jackson. I will say that the music industry has a gap to fill. Putting his personal life and media attention aside, the talent and skill of King of Pop as a musician, singer and dancer is probably unmatched to date and for some time to come.

Taking footage from his upcoming tour rehearsals and other behind the scenes footage, they’ve produced a "THIS IS IT" movie. I’ll probably end up taking in the movie when …read more

Even if you didn’t watch the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, you’ve probably heard about the actions taken by Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech. Kanye exhibited an absolutely negative level of class or respect during the event. Now there’s a website that will help him forever be immortalized for his actions.

Now, with the Ima Let You Finish website you can playfully interrupt anyone else you’d like with your own version of Kanye’s efforts. You can download a cutout of Kanye interrupting Taylor’s performance and add it to your own graphic or video to have some fun.

The other night I was watching TV and saw one of my favorite commercials from the Super Bowl. This morning I saw a link for a story about the world’s most expensive commercial. Are these commercials worth the costs?

The original story talked about a Honda commercial that I don’t remember ever even seeing on TV, and I love Honda cars. The most expensive commercials listed on this website are really entertaining, but are they worth it?
Let us know what your favorite commercial is and why. Did the commercial make you purchase something that was being advertised? After all, that’s …read more

I haven’t seen G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra yet, but I really want to. I know the critics have given mixed reviews but one thing I’ve found over the years is that most of the times I love the movies that the critics hate. Not sure what that really means though.

I guess it’s not really that important at all though. What’s really important is me knowing what I like in a movie. My interests are so varied though, I’ve seen so many movies, I’m not sure I could really tell you what I like. There was a time in my …read more

My father-in-law was sharing with me about the crash that Jeff Gordon was in this past weekend during the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen. The crash was pretty horrific because it’s the same kind of impact that took Dale Earnhardt from race fans at Daytona.

Sam Hornish junior had lost control of his car and then caused a chain reaction of events that sent Jeff Gordon’s 24 car directly into the wall at what appeared to be a straight, perpendicular hit to the wall. It wasn’t a glancing blow.
It’s good to see that both drivers are okay other than being a …read more

I love the Mac vs. PC ads that are online. I don’t agree completely with the what’s said and presented in the commercials. One of my favorite comedians is Rowan Atkinson, who has a character named Mr. Bean. Given the character’s name, there’s an obvious reason why I have a bit of a connection.

A very funny combination of two of my favorites. This makes me want to find and edit my own videos combining my favorites and getting the best of both worlds.

Tonight I was watching America’s Got Talent with my family and enjoying some pretty impressive dance performances by individuals and groups. It reminded me of the great dancing I would see on "America’s Best Dance Crew" so I started searching around YouTube for some other great performances. My favorite group was the Jabbawockeez.

Here’s a performance I found of them performing at the Night Club Ultra Lounge show. I didn’t realize they were also on America’s Got Talent. The group also performed at the New Kids on the Block concert that was just here in Indianapolis. It’s good to see them …read more

With Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen out in theaters, weapons of destruction are pretty cool to watch on the big screen. Wouldn’t it be nice if we already had some of that technology available to us for real? Perhaps we do. Check-out this video we uncovered of a the F-35B fighter jet that does a little bit of transforming of its own.

I finally watched the movie tonight at IMAX. Definitely the way to see it! Very good movie, but even less kid friendly than the first one.

When I first got on the Internet I loved collecting wav sounds. My favorites were clips from movies, theme songs or sound f/x. I would store hundreds of these things on stacks of 3.5" floppy disks. These days there’s no reason to really collect them yourself when you can find just about anything you want online whenever you want.
