A few months ago Frozone and I went to AMP Research in Irvine, CA to have them install their products on my project truck for Truckblog.  Here’s the video we put together!

I’m a huge HUGE fan of the Indiana Jones movies, although I figured three was going to do it for this movie series. Every time I saw Harrison Ford over the past few years, he looked a bit, well, ragged, in his old age. So I was shocked to hear that he’s at it again for “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystall Skull.” Stars the aging Harrison Ford, of course, the youthful Shia LaBeouf, Karen Allen, Cate Blanchett, John Hurt, and some other jablonskies. There, I said jablonskies again.

Hits theaters May 22nd. Bring your fedoras and whips everyone!

While watching movies on the iPhone version of YouTube I always noticed videos looked better. I just thought it might be the smaller screen. With this new Add-on for FireFox, I think it confirms that there are different quality versions of videos at YouTube. In fact, according to Josh, this Add-on streams from video.l.google.com instead of youtube.com. This makes sense to me because Google videos always supported much better video quality. Perhaps the YouTube player on the iPhone does the same thing?

The Add-on for FireFox is called “Better YouTube Firefox extension” that really does improve the video quality of YouTube, depending on the video that was originally uploaded. I always upload videos in a better quality than is shown at YouTube, and I can confirm that it does work with a side-by-side comparison of two of my videos using Safari (left) Vs. FireFox (right) with the Add-on:

Merry Christmas everyone… we are really looking forward to the big day, especially seeing our kid’s eyes on Christmas morning.  I still get a kick out of that every year!  Today the festivities begin with my brother-in-law coming from Nevada (my mother-in-law arrives tomorrow), some Christmas shopping, another Christmas movie tonight, and more present wrapping.  And even with everyone being sick lately, looks like everyone will be well this Christmas, except for maybe a few coughs here and there.

Recently we all took up some dance lessons at the North Pole, and well, here’s a preview of how we’re doing.  Not bad, eh?

You can Elf Yourself too!

Check these out, if you are a fan of “Office Space” (the movie) you’ll appreciate both of these.

Last week I was in Las Vegas all week for the SEMA Show (automotive convention) with 6 others as part of my Truckblog Crew.  Here’s the first video posted of the event:

You can also see all of the photos we took.

Thanks to cdharrison for this one. I can imagine a few kids I know doing this.

The 2nd of two CORR events was this past Saturday here in San Diego (Chula Vista) and since I was still recovering from my Seattle trip, I did not attend like I normally do.  Frozone and Gillmore went instead, and Frozone got some amazing video by hooking up our in-car cam to the rear of the FOX Racing truck.  Check it out… it turned out awesome as usual!
