Glenda got me a new camera, an Xacti CG6, so it seemed appropriate that the first video I make was with her.
Good Life
Kanye West’s new “Gradation” is a great album, but the videos coming out have been particularly good. Here’s the Good Life video which I think is pretty unique for a hip-hop video:
Reminds me of Gnarls Barkley. And here’s Stronger with its Akira theme:

Easy Cheese
It is a little disturbing that Easy Cheese says “No need to refrigerate” on the top of the can, right next to “excellent source of calcium.”
Why I Love Oranges
- They are sweet and juicy.
- They last longer than a week.
- It doesn’t matter if something gets on the skin, because you don’t eat that part.
- They give me an excuse to play with knives.
- They smell so good, even in the trash.
Bush Sings U2
These things must take so long to make:
Karl Rove Raps
Well, he kinda raps but mostly just dances around funny.
MC Rove has, once again, left me at a loss for words.
Otters Holding Hands
Because it’s just too cute:

PodTech:Sun Microsystems CEO
Good interview between Scoble and Schwartz, and I wanted totest out the new “post to wordpress.com” feature of Podtech.

It happened to me
I thought all the reports on the internet were joking, or mostly hyperbole.
I thought it was only people who flailed around crazily with their Wiimotes.
However a few minutes ago while bowling the strap on my Wiimote broke and the controller went flying, hitting the ceiling with a large bang that broke off the battery cover and broke the hooks that keep the batter cover attached, and then came down inches away from my LCD TV.
Whoa!
If you have a Wii, definitely be careful.

2007 WordPress Predictions
Earlier I posted a few of my predictions for 2007 to the wp-hackers list here, I thought it’d be worth blogging to make it easier to find next year and also be part of the WP.com prediction tag.
So here are my 2007 predictions for WordPress:
- We’ll do 3 major point releases
- People will start Wordcamps around the globe
- WP will become the #1 used tool on the Technorati 100
- Daily spam will be 10x what it is today
- WYSIWYG will no longer annoy savvy writers
- Several new WP-based companies will start
- We’ll figure out the whole plugin/theme directory thing
