Today we’re having an installation of “What to do, What not to do” for percussionists.
What to do
Back in college I had the privilege of seeing a percussion group called Nexus perform. It was one of two moments in those years that I just had this goofy grin stuck on my face because the awesomeness just blew . . . → Read More: Percussionists: Object lesson for today

No one has written a super-hero theme song yet that beats the one from the 60s Spider-man cartoon. Don’t get me wrong, there have been some great themes written, but Spider-man’s is the swinging-est.
Over the years, a few versions have been recorded, but this is probably my favorite update. And the dancing is actually pretty cool, . . . → Read More: Spider-man dances (and so does The Flash)

I absolutely LOVE this story.
On Monday night, a fan at a Phillies game ran onto the field during the game. Not an unheard of event. This is the first time for this outcome, however…
The fan, wearing a baseball cap, red T-shirt and khaki shorts, hopped a fence and scurried around the outfield, eluding two security officers . . . → Read More: Philadelphia: City of Brotherly Tasering

Okay, that may very well be the longest title I’ve ever written on this blog. New milestone! Woo hoo!
The Oatmeal, while not very old, has become an insanely popular site, and with good reason. It’s really funny.

I know I’m going to get some hate mail, or at least some dirty looks, for putting this out there, but I’m just the messenger. Reality is what reality is.

Okay, yeah, the day’s almost over, but you know how it is… things got away from me. The dog ate my homework. And then he did this:
So there you have it. Not just a dog on a skateboard… a dog purposefully riding a skateboard. There’s something very calming about that video.
Yeah, it’s been around a long . . . → Read More: Better late than never (maybe): Tuesday TubeWatch

I thought I was done with posting about Watchmen. But then I found this:
There are a huge number of these Marvel vs. DC clips, and a lot of them are really funny.
Anyway… now I’m done posting anything Watchmen related.

Okay, what can I say… I didn’t get to spend any time this week combing the Tubes. I actually have something lined up, but I didn’t get a chance to write the post about it. Instead you get this:

This is a great idea. Eddie Izzard’s Dressed to Kill stand-up routine is hilarious (though profanity laced). Matching the bits with Lego stop-motion animation turns out to be really funny and inventive. These are two of the funnier bits (without profanity).

Ever since “Ikea” popped up on one of my Pandora stations months ago, it’s been one of my favorites.
Every time I hear or see words like “Ikea,” “Thor,” or “Norsemen” this song immediately pops to mind. It’s surprising how many times that happens given I live in the US nowhere near an Ikea.
It’s catchy, and it’s . . . → Read More: Tuesday TubeWatch: Ikea and Jonathan Coulton
