what an amazing and emotional day november 4th was. i was up at 3:30 am to be a poll worker and went to bed at about 1 am. it was a long day. i wasn't sure i was allowed to record in the polling place, so i didn't get as much footage as i wanted, but hey, we won!

Cow Petting
My sister and I were visiting my grandma in Florida. She has a bunch of cows on her land. They act like big kitties, it was really cute. Ash made a video about this too. VloMo08! FTW! It has begun! Only 29 more days...

Swing States: Let's Get Obama Elected
it was august 29th, the day after an inspiring speech by barack obama at the DNC. mccain announces palin as his running mate. as the hype for palin started reaching a fever pitch, i started feeling, pretty much what the repubs wanted me to feel- apathetic, hopeless and helpless. this is what i decided to do...
i have been inspired by the following independent media (too much to list but...):
Michael Verdi: Obama Landslide
Tanya Tarr: Not My Gal Blog and Thank You Sarah Palin
Kent Bye: Rhetorical Visualization of Palin's Supreme Court Non-Answer

Beijing, China: August 2008
Jay and I spent the better part of August in Beijing during the Olympics to help document protests happening there. We blogged more in depth about it on RyanIsHungry. Here is the momentshowing version of the trip. As you can see the Olympics were everywhere. Shopping centers, cafes, buses, subway cars and stations. You could not escape the games. It was fascinating. Enjoy.
P.S. A majority of this video was recorded with the Flip Video Mino. I thought it did pretty well for an inexpensive pocket cam. Though the zoom is digital and kinda crappy and you can't go macro. The rest was captured with the Xacti E1.

The Grand Tour
I've been meaning to make this video for weeks. Check out our place and our gardens! If you can't see the QuickTime video, click here for the Flash version. We're gardening using the Grow Biointensive methods we learned in Willits, CA from John Jeavons and Carol Cox. All hand tilled baby. Everything is growing wonderfully.

Xacti HD1000 Green MP4 Fix
Do you use a Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camera? Have you seen the green mp4 of death? Not sure why? Well, my friend Mary Matthews of Videopancakes.com also had this problem recently and she pointed me to this Apple discussion thread to help her decipher the solution. Seems that the QuickTime H264 component that came with your Xacti software worked great with your camera, but then again QuickTime gets updated by Apple every few months and that little bit of software that makes your HD files actually work gets replaced. Huge bummer if you want to, oh um, use your footage. I sat down with Mary and helped her reinstate this little component and I thought I'd make a screencast walking through it so others could fix their systems too. There are some other solutions on that Apple thread if this doesn't work, but I hope it does. Good Luck!
p.s. if you right click and save this video... you can watch it at 640x480, a bit easier to see.

Going Through Things: Reading, Erasing
as we finish moving cross country, i am starting to go through my stuff at my mom's house which she is also moving out of. all this moving... it's really strange reading old journals and seeing old photos and videos. keep some, throw most away.
p.s. don't my mom's cats look like some alternate reality version of battle cat and white baby?
p.p.s it's videobloggging week 2008. go get 'em!

San Antonio: Verdi's House
i was laughing my ass off when verdi and jay picked up the wii. i've never actually seen anyone use this, oddly, and i thought it was so funny. also this is one of the only clips i recorded during our trip on my xacti. i just never picked it up. jay took lots of photos though. have a lot of stuff for ryanishungry on tapes though! i think that was enough for me. videoblogging week 2008 starts tomorrow. time to video things for real!

We Were Here: SF Last Days

Can Masdeu: Squat-Community Barcelona
we visited this radical squat-community called can masdeu in barcelona. they have these amazing gardens on this beautiful land over looking barcelona and out to the sea. their story is really interesting- they took over the abandoned building in 2001 by just staging a sit in (ok it was a little more dramatic than that). this footage is sound-less again.

Paris
good god, paris is beautiful. the only thing keeping me from wanting to move there is that i can't speak a lick of french. daniel liss was recently there as was raymond. check out their amazing videos too. our xacti broke right before we hit paris, so we were shooting blind, no LCD screen to guide us. hence some crookedness. i think we did pretty well considering!
people you might know in this video: loiez, jefferey, raymond.

Bruges, Belgium
bruges is an insanely old city in belgium. therefore lots of tourists, including us, go there. it was really beautiful, but also depressingly lonely. this side trip really made me realize that traveling to any city is really only cool if you know people and are doing cool things. i'm a terrible tourist, all i want to do is either sleep or work. see old buildings and museums? nah!

Edinburgh: Days 6-8, Castles and Pounds
i always think the artwork on money is beautiful. European money tends to be a bit more colorful than US money. a friend of mine from the netherlands showed me dutch bills before they became the euro and they had mother goose flying by a windmill. how cool is that? the old school wood engraving look just kills me, i love it.
