Hissed Videos

One of the videogames my sons play, I think it is Tony Hawk, uses "TNT" by AC/DC as the soundtrack. Mira, who is 2, seems to have picked it up quite nicely. BTW, she is more subdued because she knows I'm filming. Usually, she is out of control. Cast: sMoRTy71

I just picked up a used Siemens SX-66 smartphone and installed SlingPlayer Mobile on it. This clips shows me controlling my TiVo (which is in the manroom) from the SX-66. Cast: sMoRTy71

At first, Mira (2) liked listening to Wolfmother. Then she changed her mind. http://www.vimeo.com/clip:73603 Cast: sMoRTy71

After first Mira (2) was diggin' the Wolfmother, then she decided she wanted to hear Beastie Boys. She said Wolfmother was boring. Cast: sMoRTy71

Just one of the many bugs. Here NBA Live 06 is freezing. I love how the player froze while staring at my crappy console. UPDATE (1/26/2006): MSFT did replace my console within about a week after sending it in. It works great now. Cast: sMoRTy71

I decided to turn an old Mac SE case into a toilet paper dispenser that I call the iWipe. BTW, it is portable, wireless and fully supports Safari (before anyone starts askin'). Cast: sMoRTy71

A clip of "Seven Nation Army" from The White Stripes show in Louisville, KY on September 13th. BTW, the audio really sucks. Cast: sMoRTy71

A clip of "The Nurse" from The White Stripes show in Louisville, KY on September 13th Cast: sMoRTy71

I was snooping around our house, which is currently under construction, and decided to record the view from the master bedroom. Cast: sMoRTy71

This was part of the Big Backyard exhibit at the Chicago Children's Museum. It is a video screen that allows you to interact by using your shadow. This screen had these jellybean raindrops that would flow over your shadow. Cast: sMoRTy71

"You will watch the loudest of my drumming... Starting now!" Nothing like drumming with a Tinkertoy and a toy frying pan. Cast: sMoRTy71

For some reason, Mira (18 months) really, really likes "Goodnight Goodnight" by Hot Hot Heat. Here she is gettin' down. Cast: sMoRTy71

In this one, Mira decided to sing. She hasn't gotten the singing while dancing thing figured out yet, though. Cast: sMoRTy71

During our daily PIG game, Paul had the nerve to tell me, ME, how to shoot this clip. I was forced to remind him of my impressive credentials. Cast: sMoRTy71

We took the kids out to get ice cream tonight and Miles (4) just threw on some sandals and headed out in his pajamas. Based on our conversation in the clip, he clearly sees nothing wrong with it. ME: Where ya' goin', bud? MILES: To the car ME: In your pj's? MILES: Yeah I wish I could get away with doing that. Cast: sMoRTy71

Looks like Mira takes after her old man when it comes to drawing. Cast: sMoRTy71

The office was pretty empty today, but I was able to find someone to terrorize with an old Nerf gun I found. BTW, the Nerf gun is a leftover from those crazy dot com boom days of 1999. I found it in the bottom of one of my desk drawers that I haven't cleaned out in 7 years. Cast: sMoRTy71

Another day, another game of basketball at the office. We've been playing a lot of BLOG lately (basically the same as PIG, but we changed the name due to a blogging project we've been working on - clever, huh?). The shots have been getting more and more ridiculous. This bounce shot is practically commonplace now. Cast: sMoRTy71

Since the weather got warmer here in Louisville, we've been taking a break from work each afternoon to play a little basketball. It's not always pretty. Cast: sMoRTy71

Part of raising kids is being able to teach them the really important things in life. Mira, who is 17 months old, is well on her way... Cast: sMoRTy71
