the new theme

As you might’ve noticed, we’re testing a new graphical theme here.  It may still have some design issues to work through, but I’m not gonna keep putting it off until everything is perfect.  It’s not like the last one was perfect, anyway.  🙂

The background image will change, perhaps numerous times.  For starting out, it has a picture of lightning that I took.  If anyone would like to contribute custom images for the background (that are copyright-free, of course), they will be considered.  The header image will change, too, from time to time.  Change is good, right?

I know this post doesn’t say much, but it’s announcing change.  And from working in a large IT company a few years ago, I learned that a reorg (reorganization) is a sign of progress, even if nothing actually changes.  It sounds productive, anyway.  Maybe it promotes increased “synergy”, whatever that is supposed to mean.  So consider this progress toward making this a better blog.  🙂

Buffet o’ Blog — Now with better graphics and more synergy!*

videos of unusual beatboxing

Today I’m going to link to a few videos I found amusing.  All three are musical, yet not what you’re used to.  Enjoy…

Someone manufactured a video of former President George W. Bush to make it look and sound like he was beatboxing on the mic.  Neat stuff…

On the topic of beatboxing, there’s a guy named Greg Patillo who plays some famous songs on flute while simultaneously beatboxing.  Here’s him doing the Super Mario Bros theme.

There’s another flute player who simultaneously beatboxes. Here’s Nathan “Flutebox” Lee, playing a song I don’t know, but then going into the Knight Rider theme song.

Both of the guys beatboxing on the flute have other videos on YouTube, if you want more.
