All I Want For Christmas... Is a Robot Guitar...

Gibson has come out with a Robot Guitar, and I want it... This is the future of guitars as we know it, you wonder why it took so long for anyone to think of it... Automatic tuning, preset alternate tunings, automatic intonation and easy string changes... Gibson, you are an absolute genius!

So, if anyone out there is looking for something to get me for Christmas, this is it...
You can check out video of the guitar here.

U2 Embeded...

For Those U2 Lovers...

If you are not on Facebooka and iLike, you would not have ever known, except that I love you all... Hah... This is something totally new in the music industry - Bono is changing how things are done... I like how he can't remember all of the lyrics... Hah. You will dig this video if you haven't seen it yet...
You may have to sign up for a Facebook and add iLike, but it is worth it.
Maybe Bono will read your comment...

Dear iLike user on Facebook,

I'm writing to tell you about an amazing video clip that U2 has just posted on iLike - it means a lot to me and I think it's a little bit of rock'n'roll history.

(Forgive me for the mass email -- we've never done this before. I've included my email address below if you want to contact me.)

Today, U2 used iLike to post a personal message from Bono, singing - and talking us through - "Wave of Sorrow". It's a track that U2 demoed during sessions for The Joshua Tree in 1987. Just recently Bono laid down vocals for the song and it will be released for the first time next week on the remastered release of The Joshua Tree. As Bono plays us the track, he also tells the powerful story of the song. I found it quite moving!

>>> Watch the video of Bono singing "Wave of Sorrow" and leave your feedback.

Since we started iLike a year ago, our vision has been to bring people together through music. As others follow U2's lead, this could transform how artists connect with fans. To get concert alerts & content from other artists, tell us which artists you like.

Sincerely,
Hadi Partovi, co-founder, iLike

p.s. On a personal note, I was in the room when this video was filmed. My brother recorded it on his cameraphone. Now that's a memory to treasure!

My Teeth

Well boys and gurls, it's official, I took my good friend Matt Lobmeyers advice and saw the good ol' Dentist. Some may have thought me to be an anti-dentite, but truth be told, I love the dentist... The guy is the only doctor that has never given me bad news. In fact, today I got a "that a boy" from him as he looked at my teeth in awe and amazement.
I was a little worried that it might go the other way, it had been 4 years since my last visit, but the dentist was so impressed with my teeth that he took pictures of them and spent several minutes just doddling over the impressiveness of my pearly whites...

Silly Scientists...

I was watching the today show this morning. They were doing a little segment on the Galapagos Islands. I found it ironic because they were talking to the President of the Charles Darwin Society or something like that and he was talking about all of the conservation efforts they are hoping to put in place to keep animals from becoming extinct. The irony to me was this guy is the president of a group trying to keep Darwinism (evolution) alive and yet they are attempting to bypass survival of the fittest - the thing that makes evolution possible. I am all for saving animal species on the brink of extinction, but I would think any good evolutionist would be glad to see them go, if they were too weak to survive, then why keep them around. I guess I will never know...
