“UP” in Real Life: 80-Year-Old Grandparents Celebrate Anniversary with Adorable Piano Duet

How beautiful!  To celebrate their 60th anniversary together, this 80-year-old couple plays Carl and Ellie's theme from "UP" together on the piano. According the uploader (and grandson of the couple), Jason Lyle Black, Grandpa and Grandma have been playing piano duets since they were first married. Black who wrote the arrangement for his grandparents added, “My grandparents were very excited to be part of this video.”  “It was so fun to work with them on it. I’ve loved their piano duets ever since I was a little kid, so this will be a family treasure for all of us.”  

SOME MORE FUN FACTS From Jason Lyle Black: -The piano they are playing is an antique Civil War-era Steinway that my grandpa restored -My grandparents had a very large family - 9 children, and I'm one of a few dozen grandchildren -My grandparents lived in Africa for a year and a half, in their 70s, while serving as missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -My grandparents are very involved in family history. My grandpa wrote an autobiography for our family and my grandma wrote a biography of her father, my great-grandpa. -On Sunday night (the night before we released this video), we got the cousins/aunts/uncles together at my grandparents' house and had our own "Family Premiere" and Grandma made cookies! :) -My grandparents are age 83 and 84

25 Years of Photoshop - Dream On

It's been 25 years already?? Photoshop is celebrating their 25th year anniversary with the tool they say that has helped shape creativity (don't they know it!), so these PSDs from artists all over the world were animated layer by layer to create a film made in Photoshop. All to the tune of  Aerosmiths' 'Dream On'...

In 1987 people were rocking out to Walk Like an Egyptian, falling in love with The Princess Bride, and were just meeting the Tanner Family from Full House. It was in this pre-digital world—a world almost impossible for us to imagine now—that Thomas Knoll dreamed up and created Display, a pixel imaging program. Display was purchased by the then nascent software company Adobe, and in 1990—25 years ago—was released under a new, now famous name. “Photoshop” was born.

The 25th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall Google Doodle

Not all segments of the Berlin wall were ground up as the wall was being torn down. Many segments have been given to various institutions around the world. They can be found, for instance, in presidential and historical museums, lobbies of hotels and corporations, at universities and government buildings, and in public spaces around the world.

Fast Facts:

1. A 2011 poll conducted by Russia's VTsIOM, found that more than half of all Russians do not know who built the Berlin Wall. Ten percent of people surveyed thought Berlin residents built it themselves. Six percent said Western powers built it and four percent thought it was a "bilateral initiative" of the Soviet Union and the West. Fifty-eight percent said they did not know who built it, with just 24 percent correctly naming the Soviet Union and its then-communist ally East Germany.
2. Little is left of the Wall at its original site, which was destroyed almost everywhere. None still accurately represents the Wall's original appearance. They are badly damaged by souvenir seekers. Fragments of the Wall were taken and some were sold around the world. Appearing both with and without certificates of authenticity, these fragments are now a staple on the online auction service eBay as well as German souvenir shops.

Great video Doodle celebrating and memorializing the 25th Anniversary of the Fall of Berlin Wall and its pieces around the world...
