It’s Thursday. With Spooky Season quickly approaching, I’m seeing more and more Halloween displays popping up. This one was found in Naperville, Illinois, standing all by himself. It’s a 12-foot animatronic skeleton draped in dirty white gauze with LED lighting. The  owner said to come back another time because they would be expanding the display by adding a full graveyard over the weekend. Cool!

And for those wondering, I picked up a 2 & a half pound bag of candy corn earlier in the week. So very tasty!

It’s Wednesday. I recently heard that Clark, the dog from the viral video “Ultimate Dog Tease” has passed away. Here’s part of the announcement on his facebook page:

“It is with great sadness that I must tell you that Clark has gone over the Rainbow Bridge to be with his Layla. Our family is very heartbroken over his loss. Clark was such a great personality!!! Mom will miss him following her around the house…”

I’m certain that he was a good boy and he will be missed.

It’s Tuesday. It was 1985 and I was in my teens when British rock band Dire Straits released “Money for Nothing” from their fifth studio album Brothers in Arms. It dominated the radio and MTV that summer. The video, the first of its kind, featured an early 3D computer animation of human characters. Crude by today’s standards, but it was groundbreaking at the time of its release. If there was a single song that best defined the 80’s it would be “Money for Nothing”.

I recently came across this video that details the story of how “Money for Nothing” was created. Check it out above. And if you’re not familiar with the song, you can check out the original video below. Enjoy!
