VLOG: 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 14 Photo Preview

Due to popular demand Carolyn and I decided to recreate a highly-popular vlog we did before Cycle 12 of America's Next Top Model. Photos were just released of the models from Cycle 14 so we're making our season predictions based on these simple, early pictures. Check it out...


You can view the photos of the Cycle 14 models here if you haven't seen them yet. Which girl do you think will be named America's Next Top Model? Which one do you think will be going home first?

Vlog Challenge #6: Board Games

We're back with another Vlog Challenge and boy, it was a good one!


What should we do for our next Vlog Challenge? Leave your suggestions below!

Plaid Shirts! -- A Montage

I don't know why everyone says that I have too many plaid shirts. I have no idea what they're talking about.


Free time + too many plaid shirts + limited editing skills = stupid videos like this!

VLOG: We Love Candy and TV

Carolyn and I may not be vlogging about any current TV shows, but we still like to get together and make videos and watch TV and eat candy... and make videos talking about it. Enjoy!


What's your favorite food to snack on while watching TV?

VLOG: 2010, Christmas Gifts and Illiteracy

For our first vlog of the year Carolyn and I got together to talk 2010, Christmas Gifts (I give one to Carolyn, she doesn't have one for me) and then Carolyn calls me illiterate. Enjoy!


And just so you know, here is a list of all of the books I read last year.  It's quite extensive.

What's the best gift you got this year? What was the lame-est?

PS - Mom, I really do appreciate the socks and underwear! I'm wearing them right now.

Happy New Year! Goals for 2010

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you rang in 2010 with a bang!

I'm not really one to make New Year's resolutions, but I am making a few promises to myself in 2010. Hopefully by putting them out in there to the universe I will be forced to stick to them.


What are your goals for 2010? Leave a comment below!

SunChips Create Loudest Packaging in the World

I love SunChips and all of their delicious flavors, but the packaging on their new large bags is made from the loudest stuff on earth!


I did not alter the sound in this video at all, and yes, it's even that more annoying in person. What gives?

UPDATE: The bags are made from material that is more environmentally friendly. Thanks, Pierce!

VIDEO: Christmas Morning with the Sandoras

Take a quick look at how the Sandora family spent Christmas morning. Pat videoed, Mom was doing Kung Fu, Dad was shooting his crossbow, Drew was asleep and the dog was eating a bone.


Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays Vlog!

Happy holidays, everyone! Hope you have a great time with family and friends. Here's me and Carolyn (from 2008, but still applies) wishing you some cheer!


Merry Christmas!

We all had brunch together last weekend, which they filmed for an upcoming video series, so look for that soon! But in the meantime say hello two our new vloggy friends:

Test Driving the Smart Fortwo Passion Cabriolet

This past weekend I was lucky enough to have a car in the city! The kind folks at SmartUSA lent me a Smart Fortwo Passion Cabriolet for the entire weekend so I could test it out and enjoy all of its features.


Clearly I invited Carolyn to join me as I took it for a spin. Check out the video:


I'm not getting paid to write any of this, but the little car had big perks! Friday night I drove all the way out from Manhattan to see Carolyn's new place in Forest Hills (about a 35min drive), drove around the city on Saturday and drove ALL around the place on Sunday shooting the video and the gas tank only dropped one unit. Awesome mileage.

For a tiny car there was also a lot of power. The car did shift pretty hard from first to second gear (which you do a lot in star/stop city traffic) but I was going almost 50 mph on Queens Blvd and I felt completely safe and secure. And obviously I was able to park the car in places no other cars could fit; a great plus for city drivers.

The Smart Fortwo is a serious head turner, too. I had to windows and the top down (which is the entire roof, very cool) and people were coming up and asking me questions. Tourists were taking cell phone pix. It was pretty fun.

You can get the full specs on the Smart Fortwo Passion Cabriolet from the SmartUSA website.
