One man band

This is very well done. I've always loved this song since my guitar playing days (which are long gone sadly). This guy has some serious musical talent...keyboards, drums, guitars, bass...and the clapping is right on time! I just wonder why the lead singer didn't put on a shirt more worthy of the video?



If you like that, this one is also good (but clearly an earlier one with poorer editing)

AutoPitch

So is this acceptable like makeup, or is this fraud on the part of the singers. We all knew it was going on for recordings, but the fact that they can do it for a live performance is shocking to me, and just seems too fabricated.

This screams editing and photoshop, but just enjoy it for what it is...

White House Interactive Floorplan

I've seen the white house from a distance, but never been inside for a tour. This online experience helped me see how the white house was laid out. I also learned that the oval office was in the West Wing, not in the house itself. Go figure. Just click on the rooms that interest you and you can see pictures of the rooms through the ages. Be sure to check out the chocolateer's room, the kitchen (to see it through the ages), the oval office, the indoor pool, and the huge woodshop (why do they need this?). Those were some of our family's favorites.

Long Day

Sometimes is seems like the days will never end...



Summer in the Arctic Circle means 24-hour daylight. The sun doesn’t set; it just bounces along the horizon! This time-lapse video covers a week of Arctic summertime.

Simpson's A Capella

This is one perky group of folks. Except the shortest lady, she doesn't seem to fit in with the group. Just not enough spunk. I can't help but think of Andy Bernard from the Office when I see this, and all the hand gestures that go along with a capella singing.

Disney - Cut and Paste Style

As a CPA, I do my fair share of copy and pasting, but this just seems wrong. Watch the similarities in this video between so many Disney movies.

Corkscrew

This is just what every home needs. Very practical, and a good use of space, vs. the clunky corkscrews that people are forced to use these days. My arms are already relaxing at the thought of never having to actually lift a bottle again to pour.

All kidding aside, it is a cool invention to watch.

Fight Scene Run Through

This is pretty awesome. I don't know the movie, but the timing of this practice shoot is incredible.

Update and Shameless Plug of My New Business

I know I haven't been posting much lately. If you haven't heard the news, I have left my former firm and started my own CPA practice. That has been an adventure and has required most of my time recently. Hopefully my new work situation will give me more time to blog, and this site will be revived.

One thing is has done is give me more time with Emily and the kids, which I am truly grateful for. I am so thankful that I can keep food on the table without killing myself or sacrificying my family time and that I will have more control over my worklife in the future.

So if you need help with your taxes this year or if you just have a quick question, please don't hesitate to contact me. Don't make the mistake of going to one of tax preparation chains in the strip malls. I see their mistakes all the time, and I generally charge the same or less than they do.

Feel free to also check out my fancy shmancy site at www.acollinscpa.com .
