I’ve really been enjoying the U2/South African mashup videos during ESPN’s coverage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The videos feature footage from U2’s Rose Bowl concert last year, mashed up with the Soweto Gospel Choir.
Billboard.com reported earlier this year…
After teaming with ESPN for its coverage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, Bono pulled aside ESPN senior director of sports marketing Seth Ader and said, “This is just a warm-up for the one that really matters: South Africa.”
One of my favorites so far has been the Get On Your Boots mashup…

Well, we’ve moved… in case you missed that bit of news.
We’ve moved to Travis Ranch in Forney, Texas (aka Kaufman County Municipal Utility District No. 6).
It’s a beautiful, growing neighborhood, that’s part of a 1,600-2000 (depending on which news article or website you’re looking at) acre master planned community.
The neighborhood offers several great amenities, including an inline skating hockey rink, a pool, splash park and several playgrounds.
There are also plans for retail development and a marina to be added at some point in the future — just haven’t found a good site for detailed information on those additions.
We’ve already enjoyed the pool a few times, as well as walking the “trail” along the main roadway. I’m sure all the amenities, including the neighborhood elementary school (which is less than .5 a mile from our home) will be even more beneficial once the twins arrive.
But me being nosy like I am, I’ve been trying to find out as much as I can about the HOA, the full plans for the development and the Municipal Utility District we’re a part of.
