Holy Week

posted by Kyle on April 20th, 2011

We were in Pittsburgh over the weekend and I just got caught up on some of the things I missed while out of town.

Here is a video our good friends from Spirit Juice Studios and Outside Da Box put together. I am posting this a little late for Palm Sunday but still works for Holy Week. I hope yours is full of great blessings.

The Ubass in Action with Paul Simon

posted by Kyle on April 15th, 2011

You may remember me mentioning awhile ago that I got a Kala Ubass, which is a baritone ukulele body with these crazy strings that let you play it like a bass guitar (same tuning and octave). It has been a ton of fun but I have yet to use it at a Popple event.

Bakithi Khumalo is the bass player for Paul Simon and plays the same bass frequently. In fact, he played it last week on Jimmy Fallon. So turn up the bass on your speakers and check out how great this thing sounds.

It has inspired me to bring it along this weekend to Pittsburgh and have some fun.

World’s Tallest LEGO Tower

posted by Kyle on April 13th, 2011

Poor California. First, you have the financial problems, then you loose your Governator and now someone beats your record of the world’s tallest LEGO tower.

Yes, that is right, our lovely Northern neighbors in Toronto, Canada created a 96.1 foot tower using 465,000 LEGOS. They beat the tower at LEGOLAND by less than 2 feet. So will California just add a few feet to their tower? Will they kick it over? … That was always the fate of our LEGO towers.

I will tell you what would be better, if someone would build a ukulele out of LEGOs . . . what? It has  been done? And it works?

 

I can’t find this video on youtube anymore but check out this ukulele made out of LEGOs that you can play!
