A day trip we took to Hakone, Japan. We visited Lake Ashi, took the ropeway up the mountain, saw the volcanic sulfur gas vents and hot springs at Owakudani and ate famous hot spring boiled black eggs that add 7 years to your life.

Just some stuff I shot during a short trip to Nikko, Japan.

This is my first attempt at using the Steadicam Merlin after balancing it with my camera setup. It actually works pretty good, but is very hard to properly control without some practice.

Video I shot at the Sunshine 60 Building in Ikebukuro Tokyo. Sunshine 60 is a 60 story building that was the tallest building in East Asia when it was completed. It is near Sunshine City, a large shopping and recreation area in the Ikebukuro section of Tokyo, Japan. There is an aquarium and observation deck with a great view of Tokyo. You really get a sense of how massive the city of Tokyo actually is.

Video and photos from a trip I took to Sapporo, Japan last winter to see the Sapporo Snow Festival. Cool place, no pun intended.

NOTE: The total cook time for this 14 pound (before deboning) turkey was just over 90 minutes at 400°F, which is about 1/2 the time it would take with the bones.

Here's the story: I have a really small oven and wanted to find a way to have my Thanksgiving dinner with a regular full-size turkey. I figured that since the bones took up so much space and added so little in the way of edible parts that I could remove the bones without sacrificing taste. I did some research and figured out how to remove the bones which allowed me to get the bird to fit in my oven.

When Christmas rolled around, I thought I would try it again and film it for all of you lovely folks to see. If you like this kind of cooking how to, let me know. I might share more of the weird cooking stuff I do.

This is a video of my daughter "reading" Little Miss Muffet. Clearly, she is a gifted storyteller.

Zick and I worked on this intro for our cable access show. Zick is in the Army. We thought it would be funny to include his short, but very scary Sgt. Major in this intro.

This is a lame, cable-access public service announcement that I cut together for a TV show I used to work on. The audio is horrible and the acting is worse. I love the german accent - it isn't fake - we had "limited" casting options. I suggested that we needed the nerdiest person we could find to play the hacker. I got volunteered.

This is just a short, rough video depicting the insanity that occurs when traveling by car with young kids. This is a trip we took to the Grand Canyon.

This is some rough footage I got while flying in a Cessna 172 single-engine airplane near Las Vegas, Nevada. I think we were at or just above 10,000 feet and not far from Mount Charleston.

Tokyo Sesame Street Theme Park and water park. Big Bird, Elmo, Bert, Ernie and the count put on a show in Japanese.
