I’m sure you’ve already seen it, but if not, here you go. It’s a pretty awesome ad.

I captured a few grainy videos on my digital (picture taking) camera while I was at Game 6. I’ve thrown them up on YouTube as all the kids are doing these days.
Check them out for a little glimpse of what it was like that night …
GINO Time! Complete with Paul Pierce dancing on the table:
The last few seconds before the Celtics were officially NBA Champs:
I’ll post a couple of more when I have time. For now, enjoy (much like 750 other people have enjoyed my Gino video!)
So, I’m a Nintendo dork. I talked about the Nintendo DS a while ago, and I still play the crap out of it.
I’m now completely enamored with their next system, the Wii. Silly name, awesome idea. I’m sure I’ll talk about it more at some point.
But I just realized today that, because the Wii is going to support the Opera web browser, and because it’s going to support Flash …. I can watch YouTube videos on my TV through the Wii. I can’t tell you how awesome that is. I don’t love watching TV on my computer. Well, I do, but not as much as I love watching it on my actual TV.
Think of all the stupid stuff on YouTube. Now think of how much more stupid stuff you’ll watch when you can do it while laying on your couch. That right there is icing on the cake.

Ah, YouTube. Is there anything from my childhood that you can’t find?
Nope. YouTube, you are the greatest … I really hanker for a hunk of cheese.
“Hello, Appetite Control? Need more protein. Playing tennis today, you knoooow!”
I’ve written about OK Go before. They play some power pop. I’m a fan of the power pop. They put out an album last year that was pretty good, and the song “Do What You Want” was one of my favorite songs of last summer. Oh, the memories …
OK Go got some notoriety when they put out a video for the song “A Million Ways.” It’s a video that harkens back to the old days (and certainly has a nod towards the work of Spike Jonze) when videos were more about drawing attention than whatever it is that videos are these days. Good videos have always been about being out of the ordinary (think “Da Funk” by Daft Punk, “Everlong” by Foo Fighters, “What’s Up, Fatlip?” by Fatlip, “Weapon of Choice” by Fatboy Slim).
The video for “A Million Ways” fits the bill:
OK Go’s new single is for their song “Here It Goes Again”, and I think the new video has upped the ante:
Skating across treadmills! Synchronized treadmill dancing! Lip syncing! Fantastic.
