When I started developing my shoe-flip trick (see below) I didn’t think it would become such a big deal. In fact, it sounds like maybe some kids in Tahoe have their own version… and–while the exact history hasn’t been verified yet–they may have even started their thing before me! In any case it’s neat to see some variation. (Their’s is more free style and seem to think it’s okay to use their hands.) Whatever.

In addition there’s a film festival of sorts encouraging listeners to mix their own movies with the music from Ghosts. See the second video below to see Trent Reznor explain that. Naturally, this means I had to make a “why vid”:

I’m happy to say that I succeeded to produce 5 videos this week… rounding it out are these two juxtaposed messages about beta testing:
