Jim!

Zipster08 has long been one of my favorite YouTube personalities. He’s intelligent, passionate, funny, and insightful.  He’s also very genuine.  You’ll see what I mean in this video.

As you are probably aware, Elisabeth Shue took the roll of Jennifer (Claudia Wells) on “Back to the Future” in the second and third installments of the series. Because of this they had to re-shoot the ending of the first movie with Shue in the Jennifer role, since the last scene is replayed at the beginning of the second film. Here is a side-by-side (but on top and bottom) comparison of both scenes.

You decide which adjective best describes Denise Richards’ recent rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”.

The funny folks at Funny Or Die have done it again, this time using Adam West to sell some of Batman’s used stuff.

It also looks an awful lot like the actual location that was used for the exit from the Batcave.

My friend Pam passed this along via Twitter and I found it absolutely amazing.  You may want to read about it in order to understand the video fully.  I’m not sure if it was a class project, a task of curiosity, or a social experiment, but the results are incredible.

I enjoy blogging, even though I don’t do it with any regularity. For the most part I use this blog to share items of interest more than to expound on Life and Jim! Today, however, a couple of practices came to mind that I felt I need to address.

1) People who insist upon claiming their spot as the first respondent of any blog/news/video post. You see it all the time on YouTube and on any number of blogs and news sites that I frequent. The inevitable “FIRST!!” someone proudly proclaims when they think they’ve made the first comment to whatever they’ve just finished reading. I find that, more often than not, they make that entry to wave their hands in the air and plant a metaphorical flag on it instead of contributing to what they’re following.

On May, 8, 2009 the new Star Trek movie comes out.  Based upon the many reviews and comments I’ve read this movie will reignite the franchise and appears to be an extraordinarily kick-ass movie.

I ran across this video and had to share it.  It’s an extremely well done tribute video about passing the torch from The Original Series cast to the new cast. It is done by SpockBoy. You can visit his YouTube page here. I implore you to visit and subscribe. He does great work.

Why can’t I ever be on a flight with something like this?

Thanks to my friend Kevin for sending this along.

As you know I spend a lot of time on YouTube. A video that Lance and I posted on our YouTube page featuring our good friend Shawn Colton singing Tenacious D’s “Wonderboy” was featured on Panels on Pages. This is a great honor for Lance and I (who posted the video), but even more so for our friend Shawn, the talent in front of the camera with his talent and panache for making everything he sings absolutely rock.

Here, friends, is that video.

KateReadsBook is one of the funniest, original, off-the-wall individuals I’ve ever seen.  Her views of … well… anything are fresh and, quite often, completely out of left field.

This recent video showcases her unique look at things.
