A Look at the Cadillac Ranch

During my cross country trip last October I made a stop at the Cadillac Ranch on the outskirts of Amarillo, Texas. The Cadillac Ranch is an art sculpture that resides on the side of I-40. It consists of 10 different Cadillac’s with their noses buried in the ground. This place was just so odd that I had to stop and see it for myself. The cars are in the middle of an empty field and you are encouraged to grab some spray paint. For more information on this check out the Cadillac Ranch website.

Finally an easy way to explain Twitter

One of the most challenging and difficult things for me to do is explain what twitter is to people. Well the folks over at Common Craft have a made a video called Twitter in Plain English and it is a great explanation of twitter and why so many people love it. Below is the video, so enjoy and I’m sure it explains twitter a lot better than I ever could. Also feel free to follow me on twitter at twitter.com/smojo

I want to be an Air Guitar Legend!

Over my many years of listening to hard rock and heavy metal I have once or twice done air guitar. (Ok that is a lie. Even at age 23 I still do it all the time when I hear a good song.) Well now a company called Jada Toys is coming out with an air guitar that you can really strum the notes. So now everyone will know if you suck at air guitar or not. Personally I’ve seen some people do horrible jobs on the air guitar and this new gadget will confirm that they should give up air guitar. The air guitar is scheduled to be out the beginning of march. Just in time for my birthday which is on March 24th. *hint hint* I want an air guitar for my birthday!

I’m guessing Charles Trippy hasn’t heard of Justin.tv

Charles Trippy Yesterday I was doing my normal blog reading in google reader when I came across a post about Charles Trippy. For those who don’t know Charles Trippy is a popular youtuber with over 36,000 subscribers to his channel. Two days ago he uploaded a video titled Longest Video Ever On YouTube! The video is a little over 9 hours long and it looks like it was recorded with just a web cam connected to his desktop. He spent many days compressing the video over and over again just to get it under the 100mb limit that youtube has.


A web cam connected to his computer recording what was going on in his house. Where have I seen this before? Oh right it is called Justin.tv. Now I think it is great and all that he managed to get this 9 hour video under 100mb and uploaded to youtube. But if I want to watch a really long video I will watch Justin from start to finish. If you want to start watching Justin from the earliest days just go back to the start 9 months ago and continue on from there.
