Best of the ’00s in TV: Drama

NJ.com has a spot-on list of best drama TV shows this decade. I didn’t get into West Wing, and if you watched The Wire before watching The Shield, you’ll likely find The Shield unrealistic in comparison.

I’m glad to see Mad Men on there (very awesome show) and was pleasantly surprised to see Veronica Mars on there, which was also an engrossing show. Battlestar Galactica was a no-brainer, as well.

If I could modify the list with my choices, I’d take off West Wing and replace it with House.

Kuroshio Sea – 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world – shot on 5dmk2 from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

(Give this some time to load before watching…otherwise you won’t have smooth playback)

This is just one shot.

It was shot at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan.

The main tank called the ‘Kuroshio Sea’ holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world’s second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.

The music is “Please Don’t Go” by Barcelona. Buy this song on the iTunes store.

This was shot using a Canon 5DMKII with a 28-135mm lens.

THERE IS SUCH INCREDIBLE LIFE IN OUR OCEANS….WE MUST PROTECT THEM!

Mashup Before it was Called a Mashup

Matt — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 03:06:56 +0000

This is a video of Stars on 45 live doing a Beatles medley back in the early 1980’s. Today this is called a mashup; listen to many more music on our Tunes page.

Love Story Meets Viva La Vida

Matt — Sun, 10 May 2009 23:26:52 +0000

Pure, concentrated awesome. More information on the pianist in the video below can be found at jonschmidt.com

This arrangement is dedicated to Sarah, my 7 year old daughter who loves the song Love Story by Taylor Swift. Because of a common rhythm element between the tunes, I decided I could mish/mash the two. My great friend Steven Sharp Nelson (cello percussion) really makes this tune. (stevensharpnelson.com)

The #1 Reason Why Chuck Needs Saving

Matt — Tue, 05 May 2009 02:15:17 +0000

The hit comedy television show from NBC, Chuck, is in danger of not seeing a Season 3. NBC is deliberating whether it should be renewed or not, and is worth the cost. I love the show dearly, and could list a boatload of reasons why the show needs to go on. However, I’m going to give the biggest reason why. I present to you, the CIA agent whose looks could kill … literally:

If you’ve never watched Chuck, or want to go over the episodes again, Hulu has all the shows available.

FingerGaming.com – Gaming on the iPhone and iPod Touch

Matt — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 07:09:54 +0000

I’m announcing my new website I’ve just finished putting together and now unveiling to the public, FingerGaming.com. FingerGaming.com is all about gaming on the iPhone and iPod Touch, now that Apple’s new App Store is open to the public and cranking out games every single day. Mobile gaming a rapidly growing industry, and FingerGaming.com is going to be a part of that by covering everything games on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The reviews, the main features on the site, will feature videos I’ve recorded of me playing these games, screenshots, price, link to the developer of the game, and of course my thoughts on the game itself.

Already we’re seeing a slew of very fun, polished, widely talked about games. You have my personal favorites, MotionX Poker, a dice poker game with achievements, dozens of dice you can unlock and use, and gameplay mechanics that take advantage of the iPhone (multi-touch, accelerometer support, vibrate, etc.) There’s also Galcon, a fast-paced space strategy game that is incredibly addictive and easy to pick up and play. Labyrinth is an age-old game, with a modern approach. It’s the wooden box in a maze with holes that you have to tilt the iPhone/iPod Touch to avoid. It’s simple for everyone to pick up and enjoy, with over 500 levels to play through, with more that you can download over time.

All of these games can be had for $10 or less, some are even free, such as the excellent Aurora Feint. Portable gaming has never been this powerful, and intuitive, and now it’s here. Visit FingerGaming if you want to be part of this wonderful new world.

Matt — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 07:05:42 +0000

Matt Harding of Where The Hell is Matt? fame has a new video out, that has him spanning the globe dancing with people from all over. It’s pretty awesome, and the song, Praan (available on Amazon MP3 for 89 cents), really makes it stand out. It gave me goosepimples. Check it out:
