OK Go, the guys behind the treadmill video Here It Goes Again a few years ago, also known for A Million Ways. Their new album is out, and the first video was neat: WTF? but I kinda figured they had something better in store.

So, first came this:

Uh-oh! YouTube won't show their video? WTF? Oh, wait, here it is:

Ah, but never happy to do just one video for a song, here it is again:

 

And if that wasn't cool enough, each of those videos shown above for that song were done in one take.

Figured I would start a thread so we can all touch base and stay informed about services for Grandpa.  Last I talked with mom, it was looking like Sunday being the wake and Monday the funeral.

Marc, if you need a pit stop on the way, mi casa es tu casa.  I imagine that Drew and I will head up Saturday morning....

EDIT:  wake is 2-5pm Sunday, funeral is 10am Monday.  Recommended hotel is the Residence Inn in Parsippany, NJ, see the comments for a link to the hotel registration page.

Yeah, let it be known that I've let TWO of these kind of shots go in...once while being broadcast on the radio in Utica back in 1985, and the other time some years later in Troy's RPI Fieldhouse (but in fairness, I wasn't playing for a college team at the time and to this day I'm sticking with the claim I was just getting my team psyched up).

In any case, I never did it on TV.  Vesa Toskala did, though--just watch!  Turn up the volume, too--it's that good.

Yep, I've instituted a new tag.  Check out this article about the college shooting the other day in Alabama.  Turns out the shooter had something in common with another shooter from back in 2000...they both played a certain game full of demons, monsters, and all that occult crap.  That must be the explanation!

Next, you'll find out she was an avid player of Grand Theft Auto, no?  Calling Jack Thompson!

Read the brief article.  I have my work cut out for me, as I'm the guy responsible for turning the Sebring into an "animal."  Woohoo!  I can't wait to see reviews on the package I'm developing, I'm really happy with it so far.

Ok, so we didn't get quite as much snow as Washington.  About 18 inches compared to DC's 26 or so.  Drew and I made it our mission to stay ahead of the storm, so we shoveled a total of 6 times over the course of 24 hours.  Still have to shovel the end of the driveway after the plows come through (that will be at least another day) and we will have to do the sidewalks (damn HOA).  

Last weekend's snow gave us Mon - Wed off, then we went to school for half a day Thursday and then had another snow day Friday anticipating this weekend's storm.  They already called this coming Mon and Tues off, and we are supposed to get more snow Tuesday night, so I think we might go back Thursday.   I wanted a snow day for my birthday, and I got a snow week and a half!  Yippie!  

Marc, did you see any more snow?
