Red Bull – Akte Blanix II (Connecting flight)

Mayor Awesome — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:08:49 +0000

In a previous life, I used to fly gliders. I remember “dog fighting” with my Dad in the same model gliders (Blanik) 10,000 feet up over Colorado. Good times.

OK Go: This Too Shall Pass

Mayor Awesome — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:28:38 +0000

In this Open Letter “To the people of the world,” the band OK Go laments the state of labels controlling the embedding of videos. The band has been on the cutting edge of independently making their own videos, with often amazing Internet response. ”Here It Goes Again” (You know, the treadmill video) is consistently one of the most watched videos on YouTube, however all YouTube OK Go videos are coded with embedding disabled, as per their label. Here, they perform their song “This Too Shall Pass” live on location, with a little help from the Notre Dame Marching Band.

Keynes and Hayek gangsta rap

Mayor Awesome — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:37:16 +0000

In “Fear the Boom and Bust,” John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek perform a gangsta rap about their competing economic theories:

John Maynard Keynes, wrote the book on modern macro
The man you need when the economy’s off track, [whoa]
Depression, recession now your question’s in session
Have a seat and I’ll school you in one simple lesson

BOOM, 1929 the big crash
We didn’t bounce back–economy’s in the trash
Persistent unemployment, the result of sticky wages
Waiting for recovery? Seriously? That’s outrageous!

I had a real plan any fool can understand
The advice, real simple–boost aggregate demand!
C, I, G, all together gets to Y
Make sure the total’s growing, watch the economy fly

A little over a year ago…

Mayor Awesome — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:56:17 +0000

THAT was a good day. Somehow, I’m a little less excited about what’s going on. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a happy camper. The guy just needs to sack up a little bit.

A little bit ago, two of my rock climbing buddies Steve and Sara got engaged. I made a short little video for them to celebrate it.

Dixie Carter’s “Exorcise” Video

Mayor Awesome — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 16:13:23 +0000

Dixie Carter is probably best known for her portrayal as interior decorator Julia Sugarbaker in the 1980s/1990s television program Designing Women. But here she channels Linda Blair’s demonic spirit in this unintentionally hilarious “Unworkout” video released in 1992.

Two of my TV guilty pleasures are Cops and America’s Funnies Home Videos. Cops for the shirtless recidivists, AFV for the groin shots.
Here’s 10 more videos.

Some videos I made back in college

Mayor Awesome — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 04:40:26 +0000

I can’t remember how I stumbled upon these videos, but aparently I put them online August 17th, 2007. These videos were made in 2001? 2002? I can’t remember. There are two videos here back to back and a trailer for the first video at the end of both. They star my buddy Daniel Dee of Post Modern Side Show fame. It wasn’t for any video class, although I took some later on. I think it was just for shits / giggles. I think mostly it was an excuse to have him clean out the apartment, while I sat back and held a camera. Anyway, enjoy a look back into the pre Mayor Awesome / Post Modern Side Show days.

The first video is a music video (Song titled “Bionic Jam” by the Baldwin Brothers), the second one is a little more “artsy” to say the least. I can’t remeber where I got the audio for it. I think off a Beck album. The third is a trailer for the music video.
