Doug Bayne’s video about digital SLRs and movie making. Pure genius!!

There needs to be more humor like this!!

If you are a classical musician or music buff, you MUST see these incredible videos. (read more »)

Say what? Say what? F- off!

I can’t wait to try it. ;)

I think we’re a good match!

Also, I promise the new married couple thing will end at some point here on ECHENG.COM. ;)

Is it me, or does the San Francisco “souvenir” marriage certificate look like it was designed for grade schoolers?

“Look, Mom! I got ‘most likely to stay together’ on my marriage test!”

An official marriage record costs $14 and must be ordered by mail. Still, it would be nice to leave City Hall with something you’d actually want to keep!

Happy Columbus Day!

Pam’s sister used a photo I took and added a key element…

OK Joke’s on me! The other trailer wasn’t the right one! I just found this on you tube! Very very scary! I couldn’t even watch the trailer! Save The Sharks, Jim

Kozyndan show their affection for each other while on a dive trip to the Maldives.

my flying buddy was really friendly

Actually, she was really friendly, but was clearly a nightmare traveler. She put all of her belongings in the seat between us and constantly fidgeted with her bags and travel accessories (e.g. a blanket, 3 pillows behind her, 1 pillow on her lap, and some sort of powder mixed in a water bottle).

Twitter activity from 12 hours ago:

The neurotic woman next to me on SFO-NRT just went on a rampage, closing 6 overhead vents near her (in 2 rows). I turned mine back on.

SFO-NRT seat-mate: “I watched you book your seat online. My seat is very important to me.” Okaaaay…

I love this comic because I am totally the guy on the right — except for the beard thing. ;)

I love HDTV, but I sort of agree. ;) (not that I ever really watch any TV…)

I love this series.

Adam Lau went to the 10th annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel event in San Francisco and attached a video camera to the front of his big boy tricycle to capture the chaos.

I wish I had gone! I thought for sure that it would have been rained out.
