Any post that included a video.
Everyone knows OK Go from their famous treadmill video for their song “Here it Goes Again,” but I’m willing to bet you haven’t followed that band for a while and are definitely missing out on some awesomeness. Their new video for the song “This Too Shall Pass” is definitely a little more produced than their camera-on-a-tripod treadmill video, but it’s equally as enjoyable. Give this video a second to get going…it won’t let you down:

I can’t stop listening to this song, and this video has beautiful tension:

Christmas Tree 2009
Well, it’s that time of year again and this year I thought I’d put up a little something of us decorating our tree. Check out the little video below and be sure to read the captions of the photos (all captions are below the photos). Enjoy.

We’re stars on our tree.
It’s what a hamburgers all about.
Soccer dude!
Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga…etc.

We don’t really have a “mantle” so to speak, so our TV stand is going to have to do to hang up those stockings.

What Dizmas is Doing
I’ve shared before that my good friend Zach Zegan is the lead singer of a band called Dizmas, and they are currently serving in a very unique and special ministry in Czech Republic. The video below is from a few of the guys in the band and really explains what they are doing day-to-day and I thought for those of you who have supported or know Zach and the band, then this would be a great way to hear their hearts and what God is doing in that country.
No joke–I’ve asked for Shaun the Sheep for Christmas.

We’re in the double digits for “Hear, See, and Do” and I’ve got a couple winners for you this time around.
HEAR: Needtobreathe – The Outsiders
Don’t let this band’s album artwork freak you out–they’re not scary. My friend Kurt turned me on to this band last week and the only way I can describe them is if Counting Crows, Kings of Leon, Tom Petty, and Hanson all got married, this would be their child. That’s probably the most awkward way of describing a band, but nothing else was coming to mind so you’re just going to have to go with it. Needtobreathe has Godly lyrics, and a more poppy sound without being so radio friendly that I just can’t handle it. They’ve got a Southern soul that makes me want to sit on the front porch a sip lemonade, and they have a hint of the newer Hanson sound that I dig–speaking of Hanson, did you know they’re going on tour with hellogoodbye this fall…awesome. Seriously, this band has impressed me. I can’t speak for their earlier albums, but their latest titled The Outsiders is good and I recommend you take a listen. Click here to buy the album from Amazon.com or just click the “Preview All” button to get a taste!

You definitely do NOT want to visit this site if you answer yes to any of the following states:
I am currently hungry
I am pregnant
I hate cheeseburgers
I am a vegan or vegetarian
I hate amazing things

Cheeseandburger.com is not for the faint of heart or for those not wanting to immediately run out the door and find the most incredible cheeseburger you have ever had. I think this website may have changed the way I look at the cheeseburger….mmmmm… cheeseburger…. My favorites are: 6, 7, 10, 17, 21, and 25 — is it lunch time yet?

If you haven’t heard about Conan O’Brien’s new contest to blow up your car, then be sure and go here and see what it’s all about.
My good friend Blake Boys has submitted his video to have his car blown up by Conan and I think it’s definitely up for the running. Check out his little tune and send in your comments for Conan to blow up Blake’s car… as he pleads with his guitar!

Oh Summer…
Probably one of my favorite things right now is old film that is being uploaded and archived on a daily basis. Here’s a gem from the 1950’s:
