A new career opportunity presented itself over the weekend all because of this little site Other formats available: Quicktime (.mov)

Water rose up way too close to us earlier. It went back down later but now the skies have just opened up again and it s raining hard, hailing on us and a tornado warning. We are just not catching any breaks here in Cedar Rapids at all today.

Woke to a really heavy rain storm this morning. The power went out. That meant the sump pump stopped. Water coming into the basement. With no power in the house, I decided to take a walk out on the golf course to see where all the water was coming from. Other formats available: Quicktime (.mov)

Just a short little grouping of videos today. I had to do some work down in one of the evacuation areas in Cedar Rapids. Just after I shot these scenes, they closed the bridges to get into downtown Cedar Rapids. It made for a hasty retreat south of the city. Other formats available: Quicktime (.mov)

We are still getting massive amounts of rain here in Iowa. It feels like we can t go more than 2 days without a siren going off. It will be nice once the threat of drowning in the middle of the street is gone. Other formats available: Quicktime (.mov)

Videoblogging Week 2008 - Day 6. Woke up to heavy rains this morning. The sewers backed up and then came the flooding. Then came the cars trying to go through the water. Not a smart idea. Other formats available: Quicktime (.mov)

The weather in Cedar Rapids has been rather a mixed bag lately. From one day to the next we ve gone from sunny and warm to cold and snowy. I decided to head downtown and ask around to see what others thought about what s up with it. Other formats available: Quicktime (.mov)

It appears that the season is starting early this year. The weatherman called for tornados. The sirens sounded. The rain fell. The wind blew. Stay inside? Are you kidding? That s when it gets interesting! Formats available: Quicktime (.mov)

Not much happened to me today. Thus I didnt have all that much to say. There happens to be a big storm on the way. The people on the golf course really should run far away.

What is going on around here? Woke up to bright sunny skies and some nasty white stuff on the ground. I was done with Winter a month ago. It just wont leave us alone.

Window squirrel hunting is big in our house. Testing the Qik embed into an actual post. My N75 produces video that measures 352 x 288. It seems like iMovie and Quicktime have big problems with it and pillarboxes the video. I am yet to find a way to prevent that from happening unless I convert it to a standard NTSC resolution and then edit. Kind of defeats the purpose for an immediate and quick little vid. Qik comes to the rescue and presents the video in 320 240 with an easy embed code.

The Sphynx, Bert and Petey, window hunting a squirrel. Not sure if they would know what to do with it if they ever caught it?
