One more Holiday Greeting

I've been playing around with 12seconds.tv over the past month and I'm starting to really like the short video burst format. Today my sister and I recorded a greeting with a planned pop-in by Tom, but an unexpected one from my dad (audio only).

My Dad (a die-hard Lakers fan) watches the annual Christmas day game featuring his favorite  team. He's just a bit passionate for the game of basketball, and decided to watch the game upstairs. It's very faint, but I think you can still hear him, no?


Merry Christmas from our family on 12seconds.tv

Anyone in your family yell at the TV while watching their favorite team?

8 is lucky, right?

Your Spiritual Number is Eight

You bring inspiration and success into people's lives. You understand how the world works, and you have a knack for money. Right now, your life is all about goals and progress. This is nothing new though - you're always moving forward. You have a lot of perspective in life. You are able to remove your emotions and see the big picture. You usually bet right in life. You have are intuitive and win often.

What's Your Spiritual Number?

Debussy's Clair de Lune

I swiped this from Garry's posterous blog. Thanks again Garry!

Today is just one of those days. This Monday, is busy, crazy, unpredictable and this song really helps calms me. The visuals are quite hypnotic too. I think I might watch this every time I get agitated or frustrated. Hooray for the little things in life.

My 80's flashback

Today I'm a little uninspired and I have a TON of rambling thoughts (should I go to the gym, is Jango getting better, what will we do for my Dad's birthday this weekend, how in the world will I find time to come up with a Halloween costume, why is my mac book pro so damn slow, will Obama win). Yeah, a lot of thoughts whirling in my head.

Then, I finally settled in for a trip through 80's music that made my afternoon bearable.

Let me backtrack. Yesterday I started using a new music service called LaLa and so far I really like it. I'm realizing that it's biggest service is its use as a digital storage locker. I'm still uploading tunes, so I haven't explored that part of the service to its full extent.

Basically, you can listen to A LOT of tunes for free (they estimate 6 million full-tracks) and you can play *your* music, anywhere on the web. But LaLa is not the point of this post.

I did a search for Duran Duran and found a list of similar artists, resulting in a afternoon sample that went something like this:

Duran Duran - "New Moon on Monday"


Nik Kershaw - "Wouldn't it be Good"


Spandau Ballet - "True"


Thompson Twins - "Lies"


Tears For Fears - "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"


I had thoughts of hair spray, perms, neon, gel shoes, cassette tapes, Atari, and all the low-tech stuff we had back then. Good times.

What are some of your favorite 80's songs?
