Inside the House of Baldwin

Dallen celebrated his 15th Birthday at our house with friends. Everyone ate pizza (no vegetables were consumed), watched Dallen open presents, and played Rock Band, as well as a contraband Halo brought by one of the guests (hmmm…rules were broken that night!). More snacks, treats and soda were consumed throughout the night.

Mom took video throughout the night, but Dallen took all the footage and edited it into a movie that you can view here. Mom’s goal is to get all of her children to eventually make their own movies. Her goal is to have a household of computer geeks!

Tonight I was in my nightly ritual watching Conan O’Brien (you can watch Feb 19th show here). The guest musician was Jake Shimabukuro, a Japanese-America from Hawaii. Shimabukuro played one of my favorite George Harrison / White Album songs, While My Guitar Gently Weeps on his ukelele–yep, you are reading it correct.

Conan was blow away. I was blown away. Luckily we have iTunes today where I simply paid my $0.99 and added this great track to my music collection. Visit Shimabukuro’s destination on iTunes and take a listen to the sample. Better yet, just buy it.
