As the video below indicates, we’ve always been a bit skeptical about New Year’s Resolutions. Instead of setting yourself up for disappointment, it seems that embracing the human tendency towards apathy is a much more realistic approach.

However, since releasing this video last year, we’ve learned a thing or two. I (Rhett) was listening to John Norcross on NPR, and his research indicates that the art of making resolutions is potentially very beneficial, and that a surprising number of people actually do follow through with them. In that spirit, we ask you again this year: What are you resolving to do (or not do) in 2009? Let us know below. Happy New Year!

Steven Blower, known affectionately to the RhettandLinKommunity as the Funkmaster, made the most creative SuperNote Video. As we promised, we wrote him a theme song. Then, we decided to make a psychedelic music video.

Stay tuned next week for the theme song for the SuperNote Champion, cephas76.

Merry Christmas!!! The Funkmaster has organized a RhettandLinKommunity Christmas collaboration!
Here’s the video he made for his YouTube channel:

We were invited to collaborate with Wade Johnston on a Christmas song. We chose Silver Bells and tried to channel Elvis. Oh well.

We met Wade in San Fran at YouTube live. He performed on the main stage as part of the Ukelele ensemble thingy. Wade edited this video for his YouTube Channel:

Comment below– what’s YOUR favorite Christmas song?

It’s a natural law. Every family has at least one person who has a knack for giving downright awful gifts. And it seems that there’s something about the holiday season that intensifies this ability. Maybe it’s the fact that they’re forced to give gifts to a number of people, as opposed to zeroing in on one person for a birthday. It’s no mystery that this person is going to stay true to form this year, so we wanted you to be prepared. It’s not ingratitude….it’s honesty.
