my pxl-2000 movies podcast 9

I whipped together a quick podcast tonight featuring black and white video that I shot with my Fischer-Price PXL-2000 camcorder. It could film several minutes of video on a standard audio cassette. I transferred the videos I shot to VHS tape so the first transfer technically happened 18 years ago. Wow! Click the image below […]

it’s alive!

I was fumbling in my drawer trying to locate the only pair of scissors that I own. I made eye contact with my Matrix phone for a moment and thought I’d plug it in one more time just to see if anything would happen. I plugged it in. Nothing. That was several hours ago. Just […]

that 70’s show

I’ve got an entire trough of photographs to scan into the computer. Today’s round of scans comes from some old 110 film that my parents shot of me in 1971. The horse thing in the first photo had a spring that used to pinch my leg and make me mad. This photo must’ve been taken […]

85 hour work week

I don’t know if I’ve ever worked this much in 6 days… ever! Okay, well, there was this one time when I had to grade two weeks of papers for my 7th grade Biology class. I was having grading paper nightmares for weeks thereafter. I was twitching also, but I think that was just me. […]

It’s a learning day for me as I’m installing MovableType 3.31 for my high school friend Dawn. I was originally going to install MovableType 2.661 — which is what I’m using to post this entry — but I figured now was the best time to experiment. Well, technically college is the best time to experiment, […]

tell them I ain’t comin’ back

I stayed up past my bedtime last night to attend a midnight screening of the film SERENITY. It was playing only one block away at the Uptown Theater so there was no excuse not to go. SERENITY was released in theaters exactly one year ago to the day. Don’t be too impressed because I didn’t […]
