Dude Tweets his Marraige in Real Time

OMG. I love this. It’s classic, kind of goofy and untraditional, but classic. Props! The Minister announces him and his new bride as man and wife and he pops out the iPhones. Hands one to his new bride and they start updating Facebook and Twitter. After they get done with the updates, the kiss.

I surprised not only my guests, but also Tracy by pulling out my phone and posting on Facebook and Twitter from the altar during out wedding. I had her phone ready in my pocket, so when she asked for it I could hand it to her. No one knew about this except the minister, and myself.

Here is a link to the actual tweet.

I don’t normally watch CSI type shows, but…

This photo explains why I now have to…

Need I say more? Ok, I will… Laurence Fishburne is one of my top 10 actors ever. Currently, the only other “non-sports” show that I watch with regularity is Cold Case on CBS. I don’t think my wife and I have missed a single episode since it started.

Updated from Win 7 Beta to Win 7 Ultimate Today

upgradingfrombetatortmwin7_index

Decided to go ahead and stop being lazy and do this upgrade. I was running 32 bit Beta on a kick ass box that should smoke with 64 bit. I had no issues at all with Beta 32 bit, but I was robbing myself of some performance. Since I wanted to go to 64 bit, I had to wipe and do a clean install. Went smooth as silk and I am well underway to being back in business. This PC is my main workhorse, so it being down affects everything for me.

I ran the performance test and was quite disappointed though. My 128 GB SSD drive is hosing me up somehow. I have to investigate this.

Ps. I have a contest to win Windows 7 Ultimate Signature Edition on Mobilitysite right now.

This is just plain touching. It’s a small world.

I am not going to ruin the surprise, just watch the video.

Social Media – Can you believe?

Check out this video I found in a Tweet from Andru Edwards. If all the factoids in the video are accurate, there are some amazing trends that some might have missed out on in the last 5 years. Amazing.

I love the Youtube content uploaded vs CBS bit… WOW. Dell made 3 million because of tweets? HOW?

Jon Lajoie – Funny FUNNY Comedian dude…

Warning, explicit lyrics, but funny… Found this dude on YouTube a few months ago and since I am gonna blog a bit here and there now, I figured I would share this funny shit…

This one here is arguablely one of his funniest… It’s one of his 1st "hits".

I bought this dude’s album on itunes and then ripped it to my Zune. Loving it…

My Susan Boyle Video Commentary

I caught this link in some forums earlier this week. I check it out and I was floored. My wife is a huge American Idol fan, so I pulled here in to check it out… She too, was astounded at this video. We ended up watching it 3-4 times. By the end of the night, I watched it about 10 times. I got chills almost every time. The next day, I tweeted, "Should I be embarrassed that this video almost brought tears to my eyes? http://bit.ly/IQKf10:56 AM Apr 14th from TweetDeck".

Like everyone else, I was thinking that this video was supposed to be funny… Her antics made it easy to assume…

When she opened her mouth and the sweet singing came out, the judges were in shock… So was I.

If you haven’t checked this video out, I highly recommend that you do. It’s truly inspirational.

Susan Boyle – Singer – Britains Got Talent 2009 (With Lyrics)

Make sure to watch it all, the sales guy’s desktop. 100 programs running, icons arranged with the word FUK U and a penis. Then the AOL bit… lol

Thanks Chris Pirillo

Lucky Strike Bowling – WOW!!!

If you want to go bowling and want to do it right, find a Lucky Strike in your area, if there is one…

luckystrike

Let me tell you, this place is upscale. Jason Dunn and I walked in and we were like, “WOW”. The 1st thing you see is a very attractive, model quality hostess to greet you. Then you walk in and you would swear you were in a top shelf night club until you hear pins rattling. Instead of plastic chairs, you have nice couches and coffee tables. The lighting is nice and the food is great.

I have no clue what it cost to bowl here since I was there for a party with Microsoft Zune Team members and MVPs, but I is probably a tad more expensive than your average alley. There is a dress code as well, so that should tell you something. :)

I used to bowl in a league with a 180 average, but that was 10+ years ago. I think my best game was 158 that night. My wrist is still sore for trying to bowl my hook with a house ball. Graham Skee from Anythingbutipod was the star of the show. It was a good time to be had by all.
