Umbrella Man Slow-walks Pacific Avenue

Here's a short clip of a Santa Cruz institution, Umbrella Man, doing his famous "slow walk" down Pacific Avenue.
Sarah Phelan did an interview for Metro Santa Cruz (make sure to scroll down...)

Moral Clarity

"Bad guys are bad. Good guys are good." My daughter sets a few things straight. Update: Make sure to see Josh Leo's remix Bad and Good Guys.

I Like Biking With My Kids

A few people in the videoblogging community have been posting videos about what they like. Two things that I love: my kids and bike riding. I like being able to combine the two.

Freezer Meat

After watching Clint and Mel and Carol and Steve clean their freezers and being personally cajoled on IM by Steve Garfield, I barely convinced Lisa to participate. My goal was to find the oldest meat in the freezer and to cook it for my lunch (in the near future.) What's in your freezer?

Liam Mows the Lawn

My son, Liam, has a fascination with lawnmowers. He'll sit there and try to push the mower for 5 or 10 minutes. Yesterday I showed him how to push it without making the blades spin and he got results!

John Malkin on the FCC Raid

John Malkin, who hosts a show on Free Radio Santa Cruz, talks about the FCC raid that occurred today. The FCC seized their antenna, transmitter, A/V equipment, including record players, etc. Update: Although their FM broadcast is down, they've got an a "station alert" playing on their live stream.

I just happened to drive by their "station" on Laurel St. in Santa Cruz and noticed the commotion. I thought, "Heh, I should videoblog this!". Unfortunately the battery for my DV cam was not charged up, so I was limited to taking a few short video clips with my cellphone and a handful of photos.

Slide Show of FCC Raid on Free Radio Santa Cruz

Since my DV camera wasn't charged up, I took many photos with my cell phone and put this slideshow together using the QuickTime export capability of iPhoto. Music by Barbara Leoni and used under a Creative Commons license.

Yancy talks about his vBlog

and Sean asks questions.

(Apologies for the washed out video, but I had lent my camera to someone who apparently had changed some settings.)

Liam Eats and Beats Genes

Liam eats, his aunt Luna gets silly...

Freeing a Dragonfly

This dragonfly was trapped in our house and buzzing about noisily. I told my daughter, Katie, that I'd catch it and let it out. She suggested using her "bug box", but when it came time to let it out, she changed her mind and said: "You can do it. Get closer daddy, scoot, scoot, scoot!."

Katie in the Car

This is truly a 'moblog' post. The video was taken and posted from a moving vehicle. (For the safety conscious, please note that I was not the one driving!)
