It’s that time of year! You know, the time of year for every blog to post Year in Review and Top 10 Lists.

If one thing Google does well is videos that pull on the heart strings. Enjoy!

Thanks to TripSq and Foursquare, this is a fun infograph of all the airports I’ve been to this year and how often (according to Foursquare data). My oh my, I’ve done a lot of traveling. I feel blessed.

I love the letter B. When I babysat, and the kids were learning the alphabet, every time we got to the letter B, I would stop, jump up, put my hands above my head and shout, “B is for Brandie.” The kids would giggle and join in the fun. I’m pretty sure that to this day all the kids I babysat for still say that whenever they come across the letter B

With my love for the letter B, I’m always on the lookout for giant ones whenever I am out or traveling. Surprisingly, I always manage to find one.

Although I posted this one to all my other social networks, I’m posting it here too because it’s my absolute favorite. I mean, how can it not be? There’s even B’s in the woman’s skirt! The logo is from a store called Beckley Boutique located in The Cosmopolitan hotel. Sadly, I’m not a fan of much in the store, but I wish I was! I also wish I had thought of this logo before them! I want to use it for my stuff!

Where there’s a will there’s a way. Where there’s passion, there’s a way.

I normally don’t post song videos, but here I am posting two in one week. While this version of Home isn’t the original, it’s an awesome cover by a little girl and her dad. It’s also one I can’t stop listening to. The beat is stuck-in-your-head catchy and the words conveys one of the things I believe in the most – Home is not a place. Home is wherever the people who mean the most to you are.

This post, is the story behind the below cover song. It’s definitely a powerful, heartfelt piece that’s worth reading.

Original song lyrics by by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes:

Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Not the way that I do love you

Holy roly, me, oh my, you’re the apple of my eye
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you

Man, oh man, you’re my best friend, I scream it to the nothingness
There ain’t nothin’ that I need

Well, hot & heavy, pumpkin pie, chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
There ain’t nothin’ please me more than you

Chorus:
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
(2x)
La la la la, take me Home
Baby, I’m coming Home

I’ll follow you into the park, through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you

Moats & boats & waterfalls, alley ways & pay phone calls
I’ve been everywhere with you

That’s true

We laugh until we think we’ll die, barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you

And in the sticks we’re running free like it’s only you and me
Geez, you’re something to see.

Chorus

“Jade?”
“Alexander?”
“Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?”
“I sure do, you came jumping out after me.”
“Well, you fell on the concrete and nearly broke your ass and you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital. Do you remember that?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Well, there’s something I never told you about that night.”
“What didn’t you tell me?”
“While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you ‘til just now.”
“Now I know.”

Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is whenever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you

Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you

Ahh, Home
Yes, I am Home
Home is when I’m alone with you.

Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Moats & boats & waterfalls & pay phone calls

Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you

I love this campaign from Dentyne. It’s simple, yet profound. If you think about how emotions are being “digitized” these days, this campaign is a good reminder of the “analog” goodness being left behind. Even with all our technological advances and upcoming innovations, nothing will ever compare to spending time with someone face to face.

I’ve watched this video about 20 times in the last two days and yes, I tear up every time… I’m such a sap It’s a brilliant commercial by Google. But, the underlying message is even cooler – technology has the ability to make your real world experiences not only better but it allows you to share them with whomever, whenever. In essence, it fundamentally changes how people think of the Internet. While, Chrome/Google isn’t the Internet, I’m sure they won’t mind people thinking they’re synonymous with it.

The web really is what you make it.

Thanks to Penelope Trunk, I stumbled onto the below “About Me” page. Wow. By far, this is the coolest, most succinct and well told about me / biography. It’s a quick, easy and light hearted read about a serious subject. More importantly, it sets Joel apart from the pack.

What does your About Me or Bio say about you?
