Blog Recommendations:

Not the typical post for me today. Today I'd like to share a couple other blogs you might want to check out.

#1 Jake And Amir: This video blog is about a guy named Jake who has a friend named Amir whether he wants him as a friend or not. Amir is a bit insane, and has a strange obsession with Jake that lends itself to many comical moments. Here's a link to the blog, along with the most recent episode of the Jake and Amir story, and one of my favorite episodes.

#2 The Comedic Genius Of Martin And Lewis: I'm a big fan of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, however most of you probably have no idea who they are. Even if you do know who they are, you probably don't know a lot about them other then Dean Martin was a singer & member of the Rat Pack; or that Jerry Lewis helps those kids on TV every year. That's not how they became famous though. At one time they were the hottest comedic duo in hollywood. They had a club act, radio show, tv show & did movies together before the team eventually went their separate ways. This blog gives you a little history of the team, while allowing you to listen to their old radio broadcast. So far it has uploaded 33 of their first radio programs for you to enjoy. I subscribe to the podcast on I-Tunes, and I'd recommend that you do as well. Here's the link to the blog.

#3 Jonathan Coulton - He is a programmer who decided he wanted to be a musician. So he quit his job, and forced himself to write 1 song each week for 1 year. After writing the song he would upload it for others to enjoy, and started a podcast called Thing A Week. Since he started his new career fans have made various music videos for his songs on You Tube, and even had a video podcast called The Jonathan Coulton Project for such videos. His blog keeps you up to date with where he's touring, what's going on in his career, and more. Here's a link to the blog, and I suggest searching You Tube for videos of his stuff. In the near future I plan on doing a top 10 of his videos, so you could just wait for that.
