I’m not the only one who turns their site over to Baby Jesus and Santa Claus. Dino Dracula, the offspring of X-E Entertainment does it, too. And he’s beginning with some of his favorite Christmas advertisements. Have you ever seen any of these?

I guess she’s a heavy reader.
I’m thinking about not doing the “Fizzbin Learns About Christmas” series this year in favor of fleshing out Leon a bit. We know Jake is a cartoonist with a brother named Leroy but what do we really know about Leon?
By the way, you may notice something is off in the URL. It’s because there’s a URL change. “bwmedia.wordpress.com” is now “bwspotlight.com”. The old address will bring you here, unless I move to a new host someday so you may want to adjust your links if you link to my site. “bwmedia.com” is already owned by a photography studio I think and since I’ve referred to this site as either BW or the Spotlight, it seemed right to use that as the address for BW Media Spotlight. It makes me all official and stuff. 😀

So tomorrow is my annual Christmas appeal…but there’s a second appeal I want to make as well. You’ll see them both (hopefully) in tomorrow’s post. Enjoy the new URL. The old one should still take you here.

Dylan, Bob – Like A Rolling Stone – 1965 (Photo credit: Affendaddy)
I’m not a huge Bob Dylan fan but according to Wikipedia it sounds like “Like A Rolling Stone” was one of his bigger songs. Well, I can’t embed it here because it’s not an option, but if you like the song there is a new way to watch it.
Bob Dylan Like A Rolling Stone – Official Interactive Video! (Photo credit: Jay Kogami)
This link will take you an interactive video that’s set up like a television, with a number of faux TV shows for you to flip through. Only all of them (except for the actual recording of Dylan and his band performing the song) are lip-sinking “Like A Rolling Stone”. Yes, even the cartoon. Yes, even the Pawn Stars hosts and Drew Carey on The Price Is Right, the two actual shows being played. See if you can scroll through every channel while giving each of them a chance to sing the song. Enjoy!

click to vote in this week’s tournament
I didn’t win any of the rounds this tournament so I’m not in the Prize Fight for this one. So I’m going to save fight fodder for when it’s useful. Also, I have to prepare for the usual December/Christmas stuff, and further tweaking of the site and YouTube/Blip pages. But please vote for my colleagues as THEY compete for the all-important championship belt by clicking the link above starting at 10 PM ET tonight!
