I am slowly coming around on the idea of “mashups”, taking two things and combining them. Here are a couple of movie trailer mashups that made me giggle.

Fight Club and Toy Story

Inception and UP

So this line of commercials drove people away from Quiznos and infuriated franchisees who lost business, I LOVE them.

I’m conflicted. Today I got some information about a new product coming out in a few months. Excited as I am, I came home and scoured the internet for more information. Even Google hasn’t heard of this thing. The ONLY mention I found of it is buried on one of the company’s senior engineer’s profile on LinkedIn saying that he is working on the product. One mention on the entire Google.

So…while I wanted to ask if anyone on Twitter and Facebook has heard about it, I also don’t want to let the cat out of the bag. But I’m not sure I can wait two months, either!

Another funny commercial from the folks at Toyota with Brian Huskey and Rachel Drummond.

There was only one guy missing from that show. THIS I would go see! (via twitter.com/BagOfNothing)

I have no idea when this video is from, but it must have been after a heavy rain. Perhaps they were looking for an excuse to finally get out the boat and oars…

About a year ago we got rid of our satellite dish and switched over to AT&T’s U-Verse fiber optic television and internet. My channels doubled, my internet speed doubled, and my price…dropped by a few bucks! Awesome, right? Oh yeah, I also finally got a DVR.

My only real complaint was that I only had DVR in one room. The other two rooms were just regular television viewing. So today I get home, turn on the TV and see the message below.

So now I have DVR in every room. The equipment always had the capability, but it wasn’t activated. Guess that changed today. Now I am a happy camper. When the wife is watching Dancing With the Stars (kill me) I can go watch something I have recorded in my office. Life is good.

Edit: I ended up talking with a Senior VP at AT&T today and was told that in the next few months I will also be able to program my DVR from any location. Woo hoo! Of course, I do most of that on the web anyway because the interface is better and faster. The point here is that since I have had the services there have been numerous features added that just show up on my system. It’s not like they only go to new subscribers or I have to call to get the service, it just shows up!
