Finally slapped together the video footage I took when we went camping at Silver Falls last year for Hannah’s 11th birthday.

No, I cannot explain it.

Miriam’s Dark Side

I wanted to practice playing with my camera and doing some special effect editing. I’ve been an avid fan of the tutorials on videocopilot.net, so I thought I’d try one. Here’s the result…. Miriam’s Dark Side!

Hannah Playing Piano

Hannah has really flourished under the instruction of her great Piano teacher, Olga (@olgapyles). She’s had about a year of weekly lessons and is doing far better than we could have hoped for.

Molly Lewis and Barack Obama

jimgoings — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:06:12 +0000

I was watching the JoCo videos from his PAX performances this morning and it reminded me of Molly Lewis, a great ukulele player he had on stage with him. A quick Googling directed me to her website where I discovered she had a video log series called “Vlogging Molly”. Awesome!

So I watched this video:

In the video, she answers some questions (from fans presumably). One of the questions is “John McCain or Barack Obama?” She answers with some cheesy, but funny, songs that clearly indicate her preference for Barack. I agree Molly. Now, here’s where things get real. I scroll through her comments and notice that three people, accounting for 100% of the comments on that page, uniquely misspelled Barack Obama’s name.

How hard is it to know how to spell the President of the United States name? Further, how hard is it to google how to spell his name if you aren’t sure. Sigh.

Anyhow, despite the fact that her fans are lazy and can’t spell, Molly’s a great musician and pretty funny vlogger. Check her out.

Spike Gets a Bath

Spike was recently MIA for about 36 hours. He went missing for a day once before and just like then, he came home with a little blood on his fur. We don’t see any wounds, but he is limping like his has a sprained paw. Crazy cat. We’ve kept in inside since and he is quite upset at us about it.

He was very dirty so we Rebecca gave him a bath:

The video was shot with my iPhone under very poor lighting conditions. It’s crappy quality, but ultimately useful in being able to capture a moment instantly.
