I was sitting with Daisy one evening, and she decided to just hang out in her hop-n-flop… and promptly fell asleep. But not only was she sleeping, she started snoring.
I was able to get my camera out, and quietly filmed her up close for a little while.
I happened across this video on YouTube randomly, and got sucked in. It follows the day to day operations of Goldee’s Barbecue, shortly after they won #1 for the best barbecue restaurant in Texas (via Texas Monthly).
A few days ago, I was able to record this visitor to our yard. Surprisingly, we’ve had a lot of hummingbirds stop by this year, despite us not having an actual hummingbird feeder.
The Ford kids are visiting the area, and Liz and I got to take them out for a day in Chicago. We had a lot on the agenda, and really went from place to place to try to do all the things.
A fun bit of context is Vicki Lawrence’s reflections on that skit, and how Carol Burnett had urged everyone to stay in character (and ended up being one of the first to fold).
If you thought our concrete work was over, think again! With our concrete blocks in place, the next step we had was to fill the cores of all the blocks with concrete. Our aim was to make a “soupy” layer, to pour down each core… and to finish the tops with a more solid layer.
I came across the documentary Keeper of Time several months ago, and was completely taken by the trailer. I was so intrigued by this documentary that I actually put in a calendar reminder for myself to buy tickets to see this thing online.
As I was checking my phone, Liz kept busy picking up here and there. Her comment was “I guess I’m going to die organizing.”
The description of Desbrosses’ perseverence is difficult to comprehend. And the whole video is really something to behold, especially the first few minutes.
It’s an insane number of bikers, and the whole course passes through all manner of terrain. I don’t know that I’ve seen a course like this.
As I was going back over files, I happened across my blog archives. And discovered this gem of a video, where several of us at Emmis Interactive were watching a Connie’s delivery guy bring in a big order from his car.
I first came across these two way back in 2005 (a year before YouTube was a thing). I’m certain every episode I saw was done in Flash (RIP).
On seeing this video, I didn’t realize/remember there were multiple stories. I recall “Cake Dance” for the viral earworm that it is… but had forgotten everything that came after.
I love the act of finding old photographs at a flea market. And in picking up those old photos, I’m instantly transported into someone else’s life, from a different time.
These videos evoke that same intimacy. I’m immediately drawn into the person speaking, and I’m walking alongside them as they talk to the camera. So much good stuff on her channel to explore.
The odd thing for me: I didn’t really know who Mason was. But on hearing the impressions and the sound of his voice, immediately recognized it at someone who had been in films.
I’m not well versed in dance, but I really enjoy these combinations of motion and the exploration of physical spaces. I’m also quite taken at how stories/narratives emerge, between the dancers, as the piece continues onward.
I love fun Star Trek videos, particularly the ones where repetition plays a key role. Here’s a supercut of every time McCoy reports that someone’s dead.
