After 6 months with iRobot’s Roomba Vacuum Cleaner, the cleaning brushes stopped turning. Thankfully it’s under a 1-year limited warranty, but I discovered something they didn’t tell you about that will help extend the life of the vacuum. Roomba Review: When I first reviewed the Roomba, I ripped the official video to shreds at times, [...]

Cooler Weather in St. Louis makes for a great 10-miler
I’ve run around Forest Park in St. Louis many times. That ‘s where I spent the majority of my training for the Alaska marathon back in 2005. I worked for FOX 2 KTVI in St. Louis, which at the time was located across the street from Forest Park, so I would change after work and [...]
Review: iRobot’s Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaner
UPDATE: Four months after this original post about the Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaner you see below, the brushes stopped working. Read about my call to iRobot support and what I discovered in the process that will help extend the life of the vacuum. Now that I’ve owned a Roomba Vacuum Cleaner for a couple months now, [...]
Las Vegas Marathon Training: The First Run
I checked my round of RSS feeds today, and noticed my friend Sarah Tompkins had posted a blog about how we’ve known each other for several years but yet have never met each other. We met through conference calls when we both were Senior Web Producers for FOX. I was in St. Louis, she was [...]
Total Eclipse of the Heart (Literal Video)
The first Literal Video I ever watched was A-Ha’s Take On Me, but this one takes the cake. It’s Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” where the words to the song are based on what you’re watching in the video.
Crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Planning a weekend afternoon away from Washington, DC is pretty easy to do, especially since the cities are so close together on the east coast. We haven’t left the metro area since we moved here, and since Lindsey was feeling better from her weeklong flu, and the weather was warmer with bright sunny skies, we [...]
Stop Doing Things You Hate
From time to time I come across a good motivational speaker through YouTube, and today was no exception. I’ve never heard of Gary Vaynerchuk before, but found this link through a friend of a Twitter account and thought I’d give it a try. Although it sounds very selfish to always think to do things that [...]
Folding a shirt in 2 seconds
I fail at this. Maybe I need a flat surface. Seems so simple. I may just leave the clothes in the hamper and pull them out as needed. Who knows. Best of luck to anyone who succeeds in quick folding.
Wrong burger? Call 911
Some lady calls 911 and complains that Burger King messed up her burger order. She wants them to bring the police down to “protect” her. This is audio only. Hilarious!
Choir gets ubercreative
I think it’s hilarious when ensembles like this take it to the next level…and then the next level. This is Bringham Young University’s Vocal Point Choir. Great stuff. Crowd reaction is perfect!
Poor Van Halen–out of tune! Whoa!
Van Halen performed “Jump” in concert in North Carolina in September 2007, and the keyboard track must have been pitched too high, resulting in this heck of a mess. No one seemed to have noticed in the crowd, but you may notice at times when he tries to cover for being so out of tune. [...]
Live Earth: No Oil Wasted
If you missed the Live Earth concerts earlier this month, you didn’t miss much. With seven concerts on all seven continents on 7-7-07 available on dozens of TV stations (and HDTV), both satellite radio networks, terrestrial radio, and streaming live on the web, the world rocked for global warming. I’m all for covering my footprints, [...]
Prepare to Laugh: Wii Baby
In the surreal world of YouTube fame, any video can become the next big thing, as the parents of Theo (aka “Baby laughing at the Wii”) discovered earlier this year. After a slow start, the only video they’ve ever uploaded to YouTube has accumulated nearly two million views!!
Will it blend? The iPhone
What is the fascination with blending things?
My favorite commercial
Yeah, I know, the Geico caveman commercials have been around for a long time, but this one makes me LAUGH…OUT….LOUD each and every time.
Mary Poppins Remix
Have you seen this ‘remix’ of the Mary Poppins Movie? It’s genious. Well edited, using clips from the actual movie. No wonder I was scared of this movie when I was a kid…and I thought it was just the creepy guys dancing on the rooftops!
Man painting while on fire
Now, here’s the first video ever posted on the myFOXstl.com blogs. It’s a man painting while on fire, found on YouTube.
Channel 2 News…1984
Messing with RSS feeds the other day, I stumbled upon this You Tube video that plays the Channel 2 News theme music. But someone only had the music, no video. So they creatively added crash video to it. Could you imagine if news opens had this kind of video?! I had to watch it over [...]
Downloading videos…it’s not the same
I remember the days when watching videos online were easy to download and keep. I have about 5 years of great videos either sent to me through e-mail or discovered on Web sites. In fact, I was going to compile a DVD of those great videos and distribute it to my friends for Christmas! But [...]
