We act out a youtube puppet video that the kids found. I was explaining how tubers sometimes make altered parodied or referential videos and they wanted to play that game, too! I know I know - I’m a horrible influence. I will post this as a video response to the original for reference.embedded by Embedded Video
I finally caught a short video of my house rabbit, Theo, doing a soft bunny flop. You’ll never know how difficult it was to capture. Equally difficult…figuring out how to embed this video.
i got behind because i didn’t have internet access while i was out of town (i highly recommend visiting the island of ocracoke on the outer banks of north carolina)
i finished editing my time lapse video, and it took parts of three days, but i’ll claim it as two, for saturday and sunday. here are some stills from it:
and you can watch the actual video RIGHT HERE. the song is “welcome, ghosts” by explosions in the sky.
One of my 101.1001 tasks is to learn flash. I guess it’s like photoshop and illustrator, the basics are straightforward to learn, once you grasp the toolbar system and understand the concept of layers and timeline. But with such a complex program, to get any good takes a long time.So I followed an informative video that shows how to create a simple animation with falling text effects in flash. Okay, people who know flash will laugh at how kindergarten-level it is but hey, I gotta start somewhere. Anyway it was fun.(link, in case the embed code didn’t work.)embedded by Embedded Video
The Teafaerie finds out that she and dan are in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most fire breathers lit at the same time. Shot at the Bangkok airport. (flashback)
Here’s a screenshot of the editing I’ve been doing for my next podcast video. I’ve been working on it pretty much all day. Hopefully, it’ll be done for upload tomorrow!
As you’ve heard from my last post, the oven is broken. We took a video documenting this, which I’ve edited today. And it is now on youtube for your viewing pleasure.
Today I made a time-lapse animation of my enthralling day at work using the time-lapse camera I made yesterday. I also made a song called “Work Work Work Work” about my days working for a user-generated content website. Sometimes it’s tiring dealing with lowest echelons of internet users all day long, but I have to just keep virtually smiling at them even if I’m just shifting in my seat waiting to go home.
(Sorry for the delay, my internet crapped out last night.)
Here is some video I shot yesterday during a I run I took through the neighborhood. We’re looking for a new apartment, so we made sure to swing by a place we’re interested in. Oh, and the music that accompanies is another Thing-a-day creation! I think it works really well for this.
So yeah, we’ve been a little ebook crazy lately. And I finally bought ebook studio for $26.95 (I found a 10% discount code). It’s dead easy to use, it can read txt, rtf, html — the more stripped down text formats and conversion to pdb takes one minute. Of course, to add more features like images, page breaks, table of contents will take longer but the basic action takes a minute.
So for my thing-a-day today I made a video of me converting lamplight to ereader format to show: a) I made an ebook and b) it really only takes a minute.
