Feeding Himself (sort of)

without comments

Jaime had a good idea to just let the video camera run while she fed Stephen the other night, and I could just edit it down. I took it from seven minutes in length to just under three minutes in length. It's still a bit too long. Stephen is attempting to feed himself pureed carrots with a spoon. If you get tired of watching it, skip to 2:35 when jaime grabs the camera again.

Fun With Gift Wrap

without comments

We got a package of "leftover" gifts that my parents forgot to bring with them when they visited at Christmas. Stephen has improved at opening presents in the past month. He was having quite the good time with the wrapping paper by the time my wife turned on the camcorder. There is also a compilation of videos from Christmas day that I just uploaded, which I'm sure is terribly boring to people outside of my family.

First Spoon-Feeding

without comments

This video sums up my video editing skills--I have none. This is the full extent of what I know how to do: splice some vids together end-to-end, Auto Levels, Auto Color.. then export. (Honestly it looks pretty good though). This is Stephen's GrandMommy trying to [force]feed him cereal on a spoon. Didn't work out so well. My poor wife can't even watch this without getting sad (the really bad crying happened after I turned the camera off).

Tribute to Israel Kamakawiwo’Ole

with 2 comments

This arrangement of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World is by the late Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole (Iz). I pretty much changed nothing. Sort of a "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" thing. It's not perfect, but I don't think I could do much better. Recorded around noon today:

Getting There (Keep Practicing)

without comments

I've been working on a new fingerpicking style on the guitar. Trying to be able to play melodies on the higher registers while I keep a steady pace with my thumb on the lower notes. This little riff was born out of hours of practice. My wife has heard this way too many times already.

Stephen First Thing in the Morning (Video)

without comments


Stephen is such a morning person. He's quite cranky about an
hour before bed, though. Video taken this morning.

I Got White Pants

with 3 comments


White Pants

This was a commercial for the Georgia lottery when I was maybe 14 or 15 years old. For whatever reason, it stuck in my family's head, even until today.
