The Ford Edge 2011 commercial has placed Shayna Zaid & The Catch’s song “Morning Sun” deep in my noggin. I sing a bit of it to Mia, at least the hand-clapping opening part of the song.

Charlize Theron doing music videos now?  I guess the movie business is slow. I take it the song didn’t do well since this video has been out since July, and this is the first I’ve seen the video or heard this song.

Vampires on television are successful (e.g. Vampire Diaries, True Blood). So why not try Zombies? Zombies are getting their shot on AMC’s The Walking Dead. The trailer looks good. It reminds me a bit of 28 Days Later. AMC now has some interesting shows. I just wish they were offered in HD. But I’ll watch this show to see if it should be added to the DVR lineup.

I always smile at these iPhone / iPad killers. I wish they’d come out first before people (e.g. people in blog comments) declare victory over the iPhone/iPad. What we don’t know are important things like price, battery life, how it actually looks and feels, etc. I’m guessing by the time the Samsung Galaxy Tab is released, the new iPad will be out. More (or less) info is available at Engadget.

This song has been stuck in my head for the last few days.  Decent video with Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan.

Starts tonight and is now 90 minutes long. This is one of the few reality shows I enjoy watching with Farrah.  The other - is Top Chef.  Also, I’m happy DirecTV finally offers Lifetime HD. Now only if they’d offer BBC America in HD.

I don’t understand what is said about this clip, but it looks incredible.

These little fans cost a bit, so reproducing this trick would get very expensive.  But they do look like cool fans. (found via Unplggd)

Two video clips from Mia’s birth day. I didn’t take photo or video of the actual birth, but these videos are within hours if not minutes afterwards.

The first clip was shot by myself. Fina was able to capture the second clip of Mia being bathed.

The last time we saw Imogen Heap perform was at the Warfield. She was ill during that show, battling a cold. But the effects of the cold didn’t hamper her performance. She sounded great that evening. During this Friday’s concert at the Mountain Winery, Imogen didn’t need to battle being ill, but rather she fought the cold windy night. She was able to deliver another solid performance.

We haven’t been to a concert at the Mountain Winery since the remodel. Prior to the remodel, we saw two concerts and a attended a wedding there. It’s a great venue with beatuiful views. The drive up can be harrowing for some, as the roads and can get narrow and windy. The remodel helps to define the concert area, which if I recall, was previously one-level plus a bleacher or two. Now the venue has tiered seating which provides a great view of the stage from almost any seat. Parking is the standard steep price of $20.

We caught the last few songs by one of the opening acts, Geese. Interesting act, but not our cup of tea. They would later support Imogen during her performance.

Imogen came out swinging this tube-like object for the song “The Walk”.

The setlist included (not in order):

• The Walk
• Swoon
• Come Here Boy
• Wait It Out
• First Train Home
• Little Bird
• Canvas
• A-Ha!
• Breathe In
• Earth
• Improv
• Bad Body Double
• Speeding Cars
• Let Go
• Just for Now
• Goodnight and Go
• Headlock
• Tidal
• The Moment I Said It
• Hide and Seek

Imogen did something interesting with one of her songs, Earth. She has a contest in which the winner would come on stage to perform the song with her. The winner for Saratoga is shown below in this YouTube clip:
