Videoblogging theoretics, being the media, and the completely improvised future of a world currently without rhyme, reason or good beetroot fertiliser.

Age is an odd thing, as are the things people don't know about us

Age is an odd thing, especially in this day and age. With information flowing at a staggering pace, it is now possible to live many different unconnected lives and experiences in quite a short amount of time. Contrast this with youth today who only think ...

Bathroom tiles

For the past three months, our bathroom floor had been converted from cream tiles to black and white, yet nobody noticed. Not sure why I didn't do an after shot, maybe I'm losing my vlogging touch. And yes, that is little Phoebe who makes a few brief ...

Easy does it

Each year it's our tradition to enter a short film into Sydney's Tropfest Short Film Festival. Each year we compete against 700 other entries, including at least 100 from advertising and television professionals who shit on everyone with their technical ...

Sensors in them roofs!

The video says it all really. They may be common elsewhere in the world, but this is the first time I've seen it in Australia. You drive into a car park, and you drive directly into the first available spot. Now if only they'd direct me to the closest to ...

Phoebe all growed up!

Back in October last year, 7 months ago, I introduced little Phoebe. Well, she's not that little anymore, and she's a bit of an adventurer at times, such as in this video. Cats generally can't work out the logic of going down things backwards, or ...

iFilm ^%$&*(&^!@#&*^%^% dicks

It's a big site, with a lot of resources, yet their sign up form still crashes with a single text error "the parameter is required gender" if you don't select a gender. Well excuse me, I just thought the field without the mandatory field indicatory was ...

The Bonny & Clyde teaser

For about the last 18 months or so, I've been working on and off on (sic) a new video series called Bonny & Clyde. While other projects came and went, many actually paying the rent, Bonny & Clyde just sat there, slowly ticking away in the background. ...

Phoebe

I don't know how many strays I've videoed and posted here, but every one was deserving of a home, and most likely didn't have one. Having to fend for themselves in an unnatural environment, we have only ourselves to blame. And so it was that my own ...

A few weeks ago, we went scouting for locations for one of the later episodes of Bonny & Clyde. This is our archived footage.

Being a videoblog

A few days ago, Adrian Miles wrote a good post titled Being on the television, and while I'm not sure whether he's referring to me specifically, or the general populous on the videoblogging email list when he says a little knowledge can be a dangerous ...

Stray

I thought I'd take a break from filming cats, but the other night this kitten not only followed me home, but followed me into my house. It's a long one, so hang in there. And as always, you gotta ask, ITAVB?

The bridge is secure

One of the annoying things about 9/11, or 11/9 as we prefer to call it outside the U.S. in modern ISO standard notation, is the token posting of security guards around our big monuments. In particular the Sydney Harbour Bridge, this whopping great ...

Macro

My cat Macro was a stray, born into a litter of four, on the roof of a shopping centre, in a depression around a storm water drain pipe which dropped two stories into the basement. At the age of about one week, Macro rolled over and fell into the pipe, ...

The definition of videoblogging as a genre

I feel that I'm at a point where I need to make a statement on the definition of videoblogging, and find some closure in what I've been pushing for, these last 20 months. And with Wikipedia now a lost cause, let's go back to basics, a blog post. When I ...

BoingBoing answering machine images of culture

Every now and then I upload a video, or make a post, which I secretly wish would get BoingBoinged. You know the feeling, you sit back thinking "Yeah, this is pretty cool, a nice commentary on pop culture", hoping that someone will think to submit it to ...
