The Cellular Revolution
[iDevice Link] <— 100,585 Who doesn't love a couple old school vintage cellphone commercials? Nice share RJ — watch 9 more via this [link].
Highlights:
“500 million telephone subscribers in the world world world world world world world!”
“Horn alert option included.”
“Optional battery available for TRUE portable use.”
“Yah – I got all my guys working on it right now!”
“Eventually – seeing people using cellular phones may seem as common place as someone checking time on an ELECT-tronic watch.”
Level 1 — Parker White Does Japan
[iDevice Link] <— 5,467 Straight from the horses mouth... can't wait to see more skiing content drop regarding Level 1's new movie "After Dark."
“Monster athlete Parker White made his way to Hokkaido, Japan with Level 1 for two weeks in February to chase pow, pillows, and Japanese schoolgirls. The crew saw as much sun as snow for the duration of the trip, but a few smaller cycles dumped enough snow to make it all worthwhile. Parker gives us the rundown on his first experience in the Land of the Rising Sun, and a look at some of the B-shots and outtakes. Stay tuned for more updates, info, and behind-the-scenes antics from Level 1’s Fall 2011 release, “After Dark.”
TC Bank – Dream Rangers
[iDevice Link] <— 2,490,544 Obviously - the power of this advertisement would increase 10 fold had someone just randomly re-created this "based on a true story" story of 5 Taiwanese friends who spent 13 days traveling around Taiwan in memory of their lost friends But then it wouldn't be an advertisement - and we probably would watch it. Genius.

I’m researching helicopter production quality… and it looks like there are two players that I have found so far. Let the research continue.
Live Your Childhood Dreams
[iDevice Link] <— 12,985,313 I came across this Randy Pausch lecture while YouTubing today... and what a reminder it was to live life to the fullest. It sounds cheesy, but if you are having a hard time comprehending what the point of life is - this lecture will help you. I remember when Randy passed away in 2008 and shortly following I spent a good amount of time consuming his thoughts and lectures and found him to be truly inspirational. I'm glad I ran into him again on the internets... and this time have a bloggish video reminder memory bank tool to share and remember his story forever.
The quick history on Randy:
Randolph Frederick “Randy” Pausch (October 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) was an American professor of computer science and human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Pausch learned that he had pancreatic cancer in September 2006, and in August 2007 he was given a terminal diagnosis: “3 to 6 months of good health left”. He gave an upbeat lecture titled “The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” on September 18, 2007, at Carnegie Mellon, which became a popular YouTube video and led to other media appearances. He then co-authored a book called The Last Lecture on the same theme, which became a New York Times best-seller.
Pausch died of complications from pancreatic cancer on July 25, 2008.

IMPORTANT! HOW TO USE YOUR SHAKE WEIGHT
READ THIS FIRST!
- Keep the Shake Weight at least 6″ away from your face at all times during exercises to avoid injury
- The Shake Weight is not motorized, it is a mechanical device that you move back and forth with your own muscle power
- Simply hold the Shake Weight with both hands, lock your wrists and move the Shake Weight slowly back and forth on and even plane, about 3 inches in each direction.
- Hold with both hands, elbows close to the body and tighten the muscles in your upper body.
- The faster you move it, the more intense the workout will become
Super Bowl Advertisement Rankings
I haven’t concluded my super bowl ad recap yet, but as usual… rankings are coming in from all over.
Animal Ads Resonate with Viewers
The overall number one ad with viewers (overall score of about 72.3) was “Saluting Beaver” from Bridgestone, featuring a motorist who is able to avoid hitting a beaver and then plunging into a river thanks to tire traction (and a little rodent-supplied assistance). “Saluting Beaver” scored first in both emotion ranking (evoking most possible positive and least possible negative emotions) and water cooler ranking (likelihood of participants discussing the ad at the water cooler the next day), and third in interest ranking (how well it held the interest of viewers).
Meanwhile, the self-explanatory “Dog Party” ad from Bud Light, which came in third overall, ranked first in viewer interest.
Automotive Ads Take Three Top 10 Spots
Three of the top 10 ads, including the number one ad, were for autos or automotive products. Two ads were for snack food, and one ad promoted a product in each of the following five categories: the NFL, beer, film, soda, and online portal.

“I’m not trying to change the world… but you know when I see a smile up there in the favelas, or down there in Cambodia. In a way I feel like I achieved my goal.”
Amazing two closing shots.

Your Welcome, Hydle
Thank You from NIMBUS INDEPENDENT on Vimeo.
Thank You is exactly what the title states; a thank you to everyone who watches Nimbus.
Thank You begins by interviewing individuals from every walk of life about how they predict the winter. The movie then recaps the best of the last three years of Nimbus. Enjoy!
Nimbus Independent was started in 2007 by Eric Pollard in collaboration with Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre, and Chris Bencheter. The four like minded skiers began Nimbus to bring a different perspective to the world of ski movies.
