• @Ihnatko A San Diego cooking school does a class every year around Christmas (re: “Big Night”) #

For some reason, the song “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now” by Utopia has been one that I’ve always liked. I tend to be a sucker for interesting harmonies and I like the drum part. I was happy when I found it on iTunes back in April and if I’m ever looking for something “up” it usually does the trick.

The video is even more fun and is a perfect example of what “early” music videos were like. I’m sure the budget was all of $1000 from the looks of it:

If you’re curious here’s one with them performing live:

• How frustrating. I had my afternoon open to work on a few things and other stuff comes up instead. I’m sure it’s just me, right? ;-) #

• On the way to Legoland! #
• Legoland has built up quite a bit since I was here last. #
• An obvious confection but it’s made by a local (an good) chocolatier. http://twitpic.com/ait1 #

• What do people have against noses. Shouldn’t a smiley be :-) or :^) instead of :) ? #
• Walking with a friend discussing GTD and OmniFocus. #
• I think I’m going to remove due dates from most of my OmniFocus items. Having so many behind is just causing stress. #
• iPhone browser FTW! Apple Genius wasn’t going to replace 2.5 yo MBPro power adapter until I pulled up the KB article (TS1977). #

• Having lunch with friends at UTC and hoping that Apple will replace my power adapter without a genius appointment. #
• The answer is you can’t without an appointment. Bummer. #

• Checker at Henry’s said I look like Dustin Hoffman. Interesting, I’ve never heard that before. #

• One last lunch out with the family before the kids go back to school next week. #
• The kids are browsing through the game library at work. They don’t realize how good they have it. #

• At the races for a work outing. Not bad before 6 days of vacation. http://twitpic.com/6239 #

• Doing a wine tasting at Wine Co. “Wines around the world.” Only a few people so it should be fun. #
• Just saw the Tron 2.0 teaser trailer. My inner child is giggling. #
• At the theater waiting for The Dark Knight to begin. What the hell are these kids doing here? #
• @Ihnatko I’m loving the CGI Fridays riff. Of corse I work in the video game biz. #
• At Ponte Winery doing a tasting. It’s great not having the kids. #
