LimeBlog #57 :: Random. Random clips from over the past 6 months. I'm in a creative slump yet still wanted to do something. Micro memory extensions for me, at the least. Collectively, doesn't really encapsulate the deranged events of what really happened over the past 6 months. Only I can fill in the blanks and rearrange accordingly. Sometimes I like it that way. Just as what Facebook status are for... it's really what is not said... is what is truly interesting.

I'm sure this will happen again or in another parallel universe. Part I it is for now.

8 years after visiting Hawaii, I finally get to take a real vacation again! This time it was with the Carnival cruise line on the Fantasy from New Orleans to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico. The 5 day vacation was problem free and well worth the wait. Special thanks to my roommate, Burlian, Audry, Joey, Shannon and Rusty who invited me along. Music by IamTheadore.com. Recorded on the Canon Vixia HF100 HD camera.

Tribute video to our dog, Presley, who passed away in August 2008. Lots of memories in video and photos of a very unique dog that had lots of love to share. He was put through a lot over the years by being a inside, then outside and then inside again dog. He was given 6 months to live when diagnosed with a kidney disease, yet lived 4 times that amount. Anyone who has or had a dog knows how big of impact they can make on ones life. He will be missed, but never forgotten. Music: Geisha by iamtheadore.com.

I get a lot of emails about my settings. This was done with many settings that I did not log. The file was exported/uploaded at 1280x768 resolution, 30 fps. I am mac based. I import the MTS files in iMovie 08 and then use those files to edit with on either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. I can't offer anymore information then that at this point.

A day out of city limits with the boys, picking apples at an apple tree farm in Woodstock, Illinois.

First LimeBlog in HD... and what perfect way to start, with a beautiful flight from Chicago to Traverse City, Michigan. Went to Petoskey to visit my dad and attend my grandmother's 99th birthday... which frankly is more impressive then man made flying machines! Enjoy the view!

Very simple test of footage I today of the HF100 that I got today. I have a lot to learn with using it and compression, etc... but couldn't wait to get something up. This is not part of the LimeBlog. Recorded in Chicago near or on the Belmont Harbor. 08.05.08. Chopped up in iMovie.

Felt like I attended a mini BlissFest, in which I used to attend when I lived in Petoskey, Michigan... except I was still right in the heart of Chicago! For about 3 hours, people from all over the area come to meet at Foster Avenue beach area, once a month, on the night of the full moon and participate in drum circles, dancing, fire performances and more. Very cool, fun people watching and definitely a must thing to do if you are in the city on a nice summer night! Find out more about this event visit spunn.org.

A bike, the sun, Chicago lakeshore, an afternoon. This is 'The Taste of Chicago' for me.

Thought I would share a reoccuring thought that has been going through my mind. One of many, however, this one isn't so pleasant. Tall buildings to skyscrapers, what goes up must come down! Watch this video entry and let me know if you think about the same, though probably not on a daily basis.

One thing I forgot to mention in this video was the recent earthquakes near Chicago. This was one of the reason I started to think about buildings coming down and of course forgot to mention it! Typical LimeBlog planning in effect!

I started video blogging 3 years ago this month... almost to the day! So, I say some crap about that and smack my head with my hand. Hamster still in freezer. Next three years more colorful. Does anyone actually read this blurb before watching the video? My next video will be the 50th one, unless I miscounted, which is highly probable. What are you doing Saturday evening? I'm in my bathroom talking to a video camera, how sad. And boink!
