“Glee” has nothing on these kids!
Jun 15, 2009 Author: Veronica | Filed under: babble, funny, music, videoHave you seen the new show Glee? Not only is it amazing, but there’s great music in it too (if you’re into hearing teenagers singing well-known rock and show tunes). But this post from Best Week Ever (via BuzzFeed) totally made my day:
That’s right, a choir singing “Don’t Stop Believin’”. Love it. The kids from PS22 have also covered two of my other favorite songs: “Landslide” and “Eye of the Tiger”! I wish we were allowed to sing songs like that when I was in choir.
And make sure to watch the pilot episode for Glee on Hulu!
My IgniteSF presentation, in all it’s slideshowy glory!
Jun 2, 2009 Author: Veronica | Filed under: babble, internet, videoBack on April 1st, I gave a presentation at IgniteSF about making your business a meme. The catch was that I had to do twenty slides in five minutes, and each slide changes on it’s own after 15 seconds. So you have to get through a lot of information pretty fast!
You can check out other presentations on all sorts of amazing and geeky topics at the Ignite blog over at O’Reilly, or subscribe on iTunes!
Last night I went to the Ben Harper and Relentless7 show at The Fillmore. Here’s my crappy video of their awesome cover of Queen’s Under Pressure:
Ben Harper & RELENTLESS7 – Under Pressure cover from Veronica Belmont on Vimeo.
The show was really great – as previously mentioned I’m not a big concert-goer these days, but I had a blast. Although, today my head feels like a blast went off inside of it (lightweight).
Anyhow, thanks to Jordan for the invite to the show! Their new album White Lies for Dark Times came out this month, so check it out.
Technology is supposed to be the tool, not us!
May 22, 2009 Author: Veronica | Filed under: apps, babbleBy this point in my life, I should have determined that technology, like everything else, is fallible. In fact, probably more so than most things.
As an app junky and frequent traveler, I was excited by the glowing recommendation given to me by a cab driver one morning:
So I downloaded it, opened up a RideCharge account, and decided to give it a try the next time I had a non-vital (read: not late for an airplane) cab trip to reserve. The application works by finding the nearest cab to your location and sending your request directly to their dispatch computer. You then authorize payment via the app as well, which should immediately show up on the cabs computer system as soon as it goes through.
