Wanted: Tortoise

If you have seen this tortoise, please call 602-260-9870 to turn him in immediately. This tortoise is guilty of cat assault and harassment of my cat (and Dr. Evil’s cat too). Since no tortoise moves that fast, said tortoise is suspected to be on methamphetamines. Do not approach the tortoise if you spot him; he is believed to be dangerous. He may have several drug dealer or gang member tortoises following him in a protection detail. Thank you for helping us get this thug off the streets.

Ever Wonder How Artists Do It with Photoshop?

Watch this guy "paint" Radiohead's Thom Yorke with Photoshop and enjoy the musical soundtrack.

What is Emo?

Parents, beware of your "emo" kids! And if you don't have an Emo teen, you just might find this interesting nonetheless.

My favorite new videos!

This looks like a thinly veiled cell phone commercial from years ago...

The newest Hollywood Hoo Hah from Monica & Steve!

A trip back in time to a Howard Jones show in the 1980s

Maybe this guy can open up for Survivor at Peakerman's Party!

This is cool!

It's a baby Scottish Fold cat!

It looks kind of like a baby panda bear, an Ewok from Star Wars and a little rodent all rolled into one. But oh so cute!

This is so confusing!

What is this about? Is this a public service announcement?

2006-12-14T13:20:00.000-08:00

This gives new meaning to "you'll shoot your eye out!"

Do music fans make better music videos than real, highly-paid music video directors?

You be the judge. Not that we can easily find music videos anymore unless we go to YouTube or iFilm or Revver or some such viral video spreader. (Can someone please start a video channel that actually plays video?) But we found this Barenaked Ladies video which includes video from fans who entered their air guitar contest. I'm thinkin' I better get to work on practicing my air guitar!

Funniest Richard Simmons moment ever!

I think this will sell better than his "Deal a Meal" cards from back in the 80s...

More Thanksgiving fun

In case you're in the market for a new Thanksgiving song, this isn't too bad.

2006-11-22T07:45:00.000-08:00

It's the day before Thanksgiving!

What?! You have to work? That's not fair. I suggest you spend your work day here at the Peak blog, wasting time until you get off work. Here's a cool video you can watch. With so many negative videos running around the 'net right now, like the racist Kramer tirade and the UCLA student getting tasered, I thought it was time for something cute and whimsical. Here's to a whimsical Thanksgiving!

2006-11-15T09:29:00.000-08:00

Wow. This is cool!

We are still waiting for the day to come when Steve Douglas will be this sophisticated with his video editing!

Watch musicians rehearse. Some are famous. Some give lessons. This is cool!

For serious music fans only! It's Rehearsals.com, where you can watch clips of Edgar Winter, Patrice Rushen, Chris Isaak, Earth, Wind & Fire, The New Cars, Tom Petty and so many more. There are also lessons you can watch from some legendary musicians. Maybe you can pick up a few tricks. Of course, watching rehearsals" from Hoobastank isn't such a bad way to waste an afternoon at work either.

Let's enjoy an 80s memory.

2006-10-31T16:26:00.000-08:00

This cool new video from Green Day and U2 is titled The Saints Are Coming and features some interesting post-Katrina footage of New Orleans. It starts with a mini-cover of House of the Rising Sun, which is a song you well know has been covered a million times maybe...by let's see...Joan Baez, Gary Glitter, Bob Dylan, Backman Turner Overdrive, The Animals, and this year -- Shawn Mullins.

So...What do you think of the song?

Check out my new marathon training partner!

I'm training with this guy from now on! He seems highly motivated, considering most humans never make it onto a treadmill...what's your excuse?

And now, a video ode to Hall & Oates!

Though we love Hall & Oates for the songs they gave us in the 70s, 80s and 90s (see videos below for Out of Touch, Rich Girl, and Private Eyes), the duo is still working and putting out albums to this day. Hall & Oates have just released Home for Christmas just in time for Halloween. Daryl and John are also the official spokespeople for the 2006 Toys for Tots campaign. And Daryl Hall still has the long hair to this day.

One on One

And don’t think hits like Your Kiss are lost on the younger generation, either!

End the confusion; it's time to get your Foleys straight!

Ever wonder what character you would be if you were on The Simpsons? Visit the Simpsonmaker today and you can create a Simpson character. Maybe you can re-create Homer. I was disappointed that the Marge beehive isn't an option.

If the Peak had a Marathon...

I'm really into marathons, so I was thinking about what a Peak marathon would be like. I immediately thought of the San Francisco Bay to Breakers race, where not a whole lot of running happens:

I imagine a Peakerhead marathon would be much like this! What do you think?

Hello Everyone!
I know it's been a while, but I'm back on the blog again.
A friend of mine forwarded some interesting information to me I thought I'd pass along.
Now that we're having to take out a nice chunk of our savings just to fill up our gas tank these days, I thought you might appreciate this information as much as I did.
Check out this web page to see where the lowest prices are in your area. Just type in your zip code on the top right hand corner.
