Emjoy,

Pure Love
I don’t remember how I found it, but the other night I came across the video below and forwarded to Jenna.
My heart just smiled with every subsequent screening. Then this morning, I awoke and my good buddy Uncle Beefy came across the very same thing somehow and had the good sense to post for all to see. Needless to say, watched it again and was laughing aloud.
Tonight, while scanning the blogs, I came across a similar item that yet again made my ticker smile.

Thanks to HRO, one of my favorite blogs, for posting. *Note: if you’re getting this on an aggregator, iPhone or similar that doesn’t support flash, do yourself a favor and get to a computer to view this bro’s getdown with the getdown.
Notes
I got a new printer scanner thing, and I’m stoked.
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a perpetual note taker. Interestingly enough, I also tend to save them well after their ‘to a T’ execution. Reason being, they’re kind of pretty when it’s all said and done.
Enjoy,
Mike
Joseph Reohm, Illusionist
A couple weeks back I met Joseph Reohm while he was visiting Seattle. We got to talking and he’s like, ‘You know, I’m an illusionist. . .’
This of course piqued my interest, and we decided it was high time for us to get together and work on a little shoot. He noted that he was oft photographed levitating or making things float, and I asked if he’d be interested in taking a more humorous look at the ins and outs (or dangers in this instance) of being an illusionist.
Given his propensity to spoon and fork bending, I figured it might be downright frustrating at times to sit down for lunch.
Nelle, 2009.
This is Nelle, my grandmother.
Shot while home in Athens.
I’ve had a few people egging me on to put this last one up.
As well as this one test, which was shot on the eve of my 30th birthday.
More always,
Mike
Uncanny Similarity
Whilst readying myself for the morning’s work, I saw something so striking as to warrant my posting here on ye’ olde blog:
My good friend/colleague Jacob Gerber is living a secret life in Hollywood. For years, we suspected he was in fact Shawn from Rescue Me. However, after further investigation–and seeing this photo of him attempting a disguise behind nice black specs–it is my duty to report that he’s been living for years as one Andy Samberg, from Saturday Night Live fame.
Only after Gerber ‘moved back to Minneapolis’ did Samberg’s rise to stardom begin. Coincidence? I think not.
Its time to stop living in the shadows, Jacob and embrace your new identity.
