Life’s a Beach

Brian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:08:27 +0000

Here’s a video I did with the few minutes of warmth we got so far this summer. It features music by Monkeyshine.

How we are right even if we are wrong

Brian — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:45:59 +0000

Working on the campaign was fun but also tiring. I learned a lot. More on that later.

Meanwhile, I would like to recommend the following TED talk. No matter which side of the fence you may have stood during this recent campaign this brief talk may explain how the entire spectrum of thinking – liberal to conservative – is critical for our long term success as a civilized nation and world.

Attitude of the Closet

What if you learned your closet made you gay – but only while you were in your closet? Talk about a situational attitude transformation!

Gus Waves and Rocks

Brian — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 21:51:44 +0000

During the beautiful Upper Peninsula summer we take Gus the dog to Lake Superior for a little fun and a bath. One of our favorite spots is this little rocky beach near Calumet Michigan.

UPDATE: Thanks to CC Chapman for helping me figure out mDialog.com I can now embed videos uploaded there. I am trying out various video hosting sites. Which of these two do you prefer?

Attitude of Wright and Wrong

Brian — Mon, 05 May 2008 12:35:53 +0000

On matters of reality we attribute differing views as opinion when it comes to ice cream flavors. On matters of religion, family, country, identity, and life, we attribute views different than ours as threatening, ignorant, or psychotic. The following perspective will no doubt rattle people who have decided Wright is wrong. If this is you, I challenge you to be a little rattled.

“[Reverend] Wright’s offensive opinions and inflammatory appearances are judged differently (than John Hagee, Pat Robertson and Billy Graham). He doesn’t fire a shot in anger, put a noose around anyone’s neck, call for insurrection, or plant a bomb in a church with children in Sunday school. What he does is to speak his mind in a language and style that unsettles some people, and says some things so outlandish and ill-advised that he finally leaves Obama no choice but to end their friendship. We are often exposed to the corroding acid of the politics of personal destruction, but I’ve never seen anything like this — this wrenching break between pastor and parishioner — before our very eyes. Both men no doubt will carry the grief to their graves. All the rest of us should hang our heads in shame for letting it come to this in America, where the gluttony of the non-stop media grinder consumes us all and prevents an honest conversation on race. It is the price we are paying for failing to heed the great historian Jacob Burckhardt, who said “beware the terrible simplifiers.”

Obama People

Brian — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 23:37:17 +0000

Here is a better version of the Obama video I made yesterday. I like the quality better on Vimeo than YouTube.

Capitalism Jumps Aboard

Brian — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:24:44 +0000

Unbelievable. Pretty soon, we’ll be able to buy unity at Walmart.

Yes

Brian — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:54:49 +0000

We can!

Secret of Christmas

Brian — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 21:24:08 +0000

This year we decided to skip all the hoopla of the season and just enjoy a peaceful evening together. How about you?

Winter driving season begins

Brian — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 21:22:31 +0000

Curious what a typical winter drive to work is like way up here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula? Take a drive with me and I’ll show you.

How I spent Saturday Night

Brian — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 04:43:19 +0000

Saturday nights way up here on the north edge of the Midwest U.S. Jeremy Rowe and his band occasionally perform live at one of the local establishments. Saturday I took along a camera and recorded the action which you can see below. The music is from his outstanding 2007 album “Where the Truth Lies.”

Picture the Future of Music

Brian — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 19:07:32 +0000

I’m supposed to be working on house projects, but hey. This is my vacation. I want to be creative.

CC Chapman turned me on to Animoto – a site that creates great video from photographs. Easy 1-2-3. That’s what I used to make this video. Enjoy.

Meet a few artists who “get” it. Find them and hundreds more on the Podsafe Music Network.

Attitude Check

Brian — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 21:52:54 +0000

I made this brief flash video today to test embedding flash videos. Your feedback would be most helpful to me as I continue to explore options for efficiency. In other words, I want to submit writing/video/audio with as little hassle as possible to both you and me. So, instead of choosing between PC friendly wmv files and Mac friendly mov files, I’m trying flv (flash) embedded. Does it work for you?

The video is 2 minutes.

Attitude Video Weekend Update

Brian — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 21:24:16 +0000

I tried Vlog-it software today – just messing around. I still have a few bugs to work out. This is short.

Mentioned:

A writers video blog by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff called “Word Sushi”
Brian Noe’s “Fit After 50” podcast – documenting some life changes and
Richard Bluestein of Insane Films – offers a free-view of Michael Moore’s “Sicko” movie.

Podshow Video

Brian — Fri, 25 May 2007 12:21:33 +0000

Yesterday I uploaded my Big Mac video to my podcast page on Podshow and posted a link to it below. But this morning, I figured out how much more I like the flash video features at Podshow. Here’s a link to my page there. The embedded video player is here.

Brian Updates by Video 1

Brian — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 02:26:16 +0000

Here is a brief update by video. Video is new for me so I am not sure it will work. Any suggestions are welcome.
