    What makes us giggle? Russian crooners from the 1970s, of course.

    While we are in marathon editing sessions, writing and refining scripts, or planning high definition video productions, we sometimes stumble upon viral videos that tickle us all and spread through the Stone Road like hot butter.

    When these gems arrive, work stops (sorry clients), and we all begin to giggle, a lot.

    Not sure why this video tickles the funny bone, but after watching it, please enjoy this gem.

    If neither makes you giggle, well, we'll send you a buck.

    US on track to finally win Olympic medal count...

    In this nutty world, where stability and security seems fleeting, its lemon refreshing to relax and admire the beautiful predictability of the winter Olympics.  That isn't a slam against the games, but rather a recognition that during these turbulent days, getting catetonic cheering on the straight line of Curling stones is better than booze.

    Quick:  Since 1924, how many times has the US won the total winter Olympic medal count.  Being good AmeriKans, we thought the US must have won most, because America, F-YEAH.

    Answer:  The US has only won the total medal count once, in 1936.  Once. That's right.  Once. Boo.

    But this year, the US is on track to win the whole enchilada--the US is leading with 26 medals, Germany is gaining with 23.  

    That's thrilling, because what else do we cheer these days, our national debt, F-YEAH.

    You can track the Winter Olympic medal counts since 1924 here.

    Adak Alaska or Bust

    This summer we travel to Alaska, and hopefully, stumble upon some beautiful video production opportunities, such as huge, hungry grizzlies snapping up those salmon (and not us...who would film?).

    While planning, we stumbled upon the extremely isolated municipality of Adak, Alaska, and for some bizarre reason, we want to go.

    The United States' most western village, Adak sits in the Aleutian Islands and was once home to a bustling military base with over 6000 residents.

    Today, what remains is a deserted McDonalds, a huge runway and 316 brave residents, who for some reason, don't want to leave.

    So if you would like to visit, be sure to pack your own Filet of Fish and brush up on your Adak-ese here.

    Video Production Company sold to AOL for $36.5 million

    Kudos to Adam Solesby for the sale of his creation, StudioNow, to AOL, for some cool cash.

    You can read about the details here, but we just love American success stories like these.

    Mr. Solesby, whom we have never met, saw a void in the online video production process, and from his vision, he created a new sand box for us to play in and was rightly rewarded.

    From nothing, they create something, creating an economy for many--all hail entrepreneurs.
