The Apple iPad is sure to be a game changer in the digital sphere. But it will have other important uses as well. Enjoy “Apple iPad Moment #645″ – Sunny Day.”

The song in the video is “Sunlight” by Maksym Ponomarchuk via iStockPhoto audio.

I had a week off so I did fun stuff across the Central Coast. Fun, food, family, and sun.

Oh, and this is also the 100th blog post on jesseluna.com (formerly Build Your Fan Base). Thanks for tuning in!

I used Animoto.com to create this video then I downloaded it and posted it to YouTube.

The only thing better than fresh tamales during the holiday season is family. This explains why making tamales with family is such a joyful treat.

I also see my Twitter friends as an extension of my family so I was glad to share my enthusiasm, tweets, and a picture as I made the tamales. When people ask me how to build a “fan base” on Twitter, I always tell them to tweet about things they love (as in food, family, social causes,..), not what you think others want you tweet about.

I feel as though I made this video with my Twitter buds as they sent me replies, questions, and stayed up with me late last night while I finished editing and posting the video.

I appreciate all your help and I wish you were nearby so we could share the actual meal.

Enjoy the video!
