Robb + Jessie Married & in the Badger State
Why we love Seattle.
Note: I apologize if you are not from the Greater Seattle Area.
The other night Robb and I watched about a million mini clips from Seattle’s classic “Almost Live!” from the 1990s (similar to Saturday Night Live, but better if you are a Seattleite).
For your viewing pleasure… some of our favourite clips:
Seattle’s own Speedwalker! staring Bill Nye:
The Ballard Files (why Ballard is the coolest neighborhood):
Studs from Microsoft and as your host, Pat Cashman:
Mind Your Manners with Billy Quan: Library of Death:
The Lame List or What’s Weak This Week brought to you by America’s Heavy Metal Community (or Seattle Grunge):
I hope you enjoyed this little sample of Seattle at its finest. Apparently NBC doesn’t want to release Almost Live! on DVDs (what a shame). So you can check it out on YouTube. There are many, many more excellent clips. Enjoy!
Super Envelope!
On January 15, 2008, CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs, unveiled the MacBook Air. Pretty much the thinnest computer ever. While it has its drawbacks, it’s pretty remarkable in size and weight and overall capabilities. To market it, they released the following commercial. Simple and chic. Beautiful. Then compare that to the second “commercial” … enjoy!

The Parody:
Wow.
I think my kids will be like this:

The boy is awesome! Here is the original. Reminds me a lot of Alton Brown.
