Perhaps we should just shorten it to U2be. What do you think? Not sure why I hadn’t heard of this concert happening before now, but you can watch U2 perform live on YouTube tonight from their Rose Bowl concert.

I went and saw the U2 in 3D concert at my local IMAX theater last year (or was it two years ago?) and it was amazing. My first thought of watching a concert in a theater wasn’t too high of an expectation, but it turned out to be a really great experience.
I’m guessing watching a concert live on YouTube might be similar. …read more

At dinner tonight my wife and son were super excited to tell me about a video they watched today that had my son laughing so hard he was crying. My wife thought he was faking, but he was literally ROFL.

The video my wife originally posted on her Facebook was a remake of the video above that used Michael Jackson’s "Billie Jean" music instead. I like this one though, although there was a clip of a baby doing a little MJ dance move and moon walking.

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

What’s the most popular song on the planet? The last time I think I heard the answer to this question it was "Happy Birthday to You". Makes sense when you think about it. What do you do though when you can’t think of the name of the song you just heard.

Now you can go to the Musipedia website and figure out what that song is that you just heard. Sure, if you had a new HD radio with iTunes tagging you could figure out what that song was, but you may not have an HD radio and may not want …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.

This could be the best arrangement of a medley of Michael Jackson songs I’ve ever heard. Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider have partnered to produce both a fantastic arrangement of many of Michael’s greatest hits as well as a very creative video to showcase the vocal talents of Sam Tsui.

The special dedication to Michael Jackson on the MTV Video Music Awards last night was a nice dance highlight, but I think this arrangement is better than last night. Now, we should just get my favorite acapella group, Straight No Chaser to grab this arrangement from Sam and Kurt and put …read more

Here’s an interesting video I just uncovered on the Vimeo website. Jarbas Agnelli, the creator, saw a picture shared in his local newspaper of a bunch of birds sitting on telephone wires. He thought of a musical staff and the birds represented each note. He then decided to determine exactly what song the birds were arranging on those wires.

I love the creativity behind this video. Looking at something we’ve all seen before and haven’t thought much about, but he saw it differently. Perhaps more importantly, did something with the idea he saw …read more

If you ever want to bring a little energy to your wedding one of these days, just take a look at this video of a very creative way to enter the church for your wedding march. I’m sure I could have never gotten away with this with my mother-in-law, but I’m sure everyone in attendance will remember this wedding.

Have you done anything fun like this at your wedding or a friend’s? What’s the best thing you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of the individuals I was honored to meet and make a friend of when I went out to SXSW a couple of years ago was Alex Hillman. I’ve been following him and his efforts with his coworking initiative taking place in Philadelphia at Independents Hall.

When he kept updating his twitter status about heading all over the place and doing karaoke I was more than curious about to what was going on. After following some links I found out about the Whuff-aoke or Bust tour. Fun stuff happens at SXSW and now Alex has come up with another idea.
