I’ve been having a pretty amazing streak of luck lately with just about everything. Tonight is another fine example of my good fortune as I somehow managed to get an entirely new keyboard from Apple free of charge despite having water-damaged my previous one. A $150+ repair was more or less gifted to me and for that I am incredibly grateful.

Michele over at CP heard that you can wash an entire keyboard inside a dishwasher without damaging it, so she decided to see if that was true by recording the whole process. Watch her video here.

Praise Night Emcee Intro from Remnant Westside on Vimeo.
So I was browsing the Remnant Westside Church media page to see if the media team has uploaded the senior video yet and what I found instead was a bit disturbing.
It turns out that the video entitled “Praise Night Emcee Intro” features Ryan Cashman’s “Light-Paint Piano Player” almost in its entirety without any sort of credit going back to Ryan whatsoever. What’s even more puzzling to me is that the media team chose this video to draw their overlays on when the original video has been viewed nearly 300,000 times by people on the internet. Did they not think that somebody would notice? How could I be the only one to notice this in a congregation that fills nearly an entire school auditorium?
Seeing this video today really shocked me and I think it shows poor judgment on the media team as a whole (not to mention that it reflects poorly on the church as well). There are so many talented people at RWC that could have created something just as wonderful as Ryan’s video, and I’m having a hard time figuring out why they decided it was alright to blatantly steal another person’s work. Let’s try and stop this sort of thing, yeah? Start giving credit where credit is due.

UPDATE: Esther Lee says she worked on the original video with Ryan. But Ryan does not know that the video was used by RWC. My original point still stands. THERE WAS NO CREDIT GIVEN to the original content creator. Working on something doesn’t give you ownership of it.

This video was too cute to pass up. [via]
Joey sings along sometimes when Simon plays guitar, but Joey never picks up the guitar and actually plays it.

I know it’s still relatively early, but I’m calling an end to the blogging day because I just found the most awesome keyboard drum set and I’m gonna go play with it for the rest of the day.
Makes me want to dance! See ya!

Matt posted this link to ⌘C ⌘V Character (Copy-Paste Character), a site that gives you easy access to the most commonly used special characters that you might not necessarily remember the keyboard codes for. There are some characters included on that site that make me wonder why anybody would want to use that particular character. I mean, seriously, is the snowman with a hat really one of the most “commonly used” characters?
