The Heads feat. Johnette Napolitano - Damage Ive Done

The lead singer of Concret Blond with the talking heads without David Byrne back in 1996.

Talking Heads - Burning Down the House

One of my favorite old skool videos. I remember watching this on TBS Night Tracks way back in the 1980s...

Tom Tom Club - Suboceana

Talking Heads Without the mouth. I always thought that this song was talking about a Micronaut Comicbook. There was a world called Oceania in that comic. The lyrics remind me of their search for the 3 keys...

Jasper High School Band 1991

This was my high school. I graduated in 1989 so i am not in this video, but you get the gist of it. I played drums, bass drum to be exact.

Please be careful when you expel gas. You never know who or what is watching you when you do it.

Total Lunar Eclipse

As reported by NASA:

The Sun goes down. The Moon comes up. You go out and look at the sky. Observing the eclipse is that easy. Maximum eclipse, and maximum beauty, occurs at 10:26 pm EST (7:26 pm PST).

A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the shadow of Earth. You might expect the Moon to grow even more ashen than usual, but in fact it transforms into an orb of vivid red.

HD-DVD and Blu-Ray DVD

We all knew knew that this was going to happen and Sony won the format war. Toshiba threw in the towel and took HD-DVD off the market today as reported by most major news.

The format war, often compared to the Betamax-VHS battle in the 1980s and then Sony's venture into the Mini-Disc products. I found them to be excellent but the support for them did not happen when the MP3 revolution took the public by storm.

Hollywood studios had initially split their alliances between the two camps, meaning only certain films would play on any one DVD machine and that hurt both of the companies in the beginning.

In addition to Wal-Mart, consumer electronics chain Best Buy and online video rental company Netflix Inc also recently signed up to the Blu-ray camp.
