Response to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KzB8PuygZI Since you don't really understand quantum mechanics (nor do I, nor does anyone, really. Stephen Weinberg : "If you think you understand Quantum theory, then you don't understand Quantum theory.") it is probably not wise to apply quantum phenomena to everyday experiences, most of the time.

Response to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KzB8PuygZI The economic woes of the newspaper industry have far-reaching implications for our "right to information," freedom of speech and press.

Videoblogging Week #6 - a little meditation on the slow, slow decay of winter in West Michigan. Most of my time shooting this was spent figuring out how best not to fall through the ice. Also, remind me not to go on a snow hike in clogs.

A volley back at Quirk, Day 5 of Videoblogging Week. Based on: Composition in Circles and Lines then Pixel Smear then Pixel Tennis then Pixel Badminton then Pixel Tetherball

For Videoblogging Week day three, a little excursion into data moshing. This is based on a previous post, from last year s Videoblogging Week, which was based on Adam Trowbridge s Sensation Containers project. Now it s been moshed, yo!

For Videoblogging Week Day 4, Proctor vs. Proctor vs. Quirk vs. Proctor. It s Pixel Badminton. Original sources: Composition in Circles and Lines Pixel Smear Pixel Tennis Amazing how it starts to look like hand-painted film after so much data crunching.

I don t know what this is. Fun with compression and layering on a previous post. It gets kinda interesting in the middle. I m too tired to do any more. Thanks, as always, to Gurdonark for the song Kestrel , courtesy of CC Mixter. UPDATE: Quirk created a cool remix of this post.

It s been a long time since I ve posted here. I ve been busy. Some updates are below. In the meantime My first video for Videoblogging Week 2009. It s late, but it s here. A superquick foray into kinetic typography - as with all videoblogging videos, this was made on the quick - with thanks to my sister at 6 years old or so. Sometime in the early 80s. The audio recording comes from the traditional cassette tape my family made every year on Christmas Eve. They still make me cry with laughter. Anna sang this damn song ALL THE TIME. Now I adore it, even if I have no idea what half the words are. In other news, my household has acquired 800 16mm educational films from Michigan State University surplus. We (read: Aaron) are slowly making our way through the piles, with some real gems, including a print of Norman McLaren s Neighbours (the edited version, sadly), which I regularly show in my classes. More pics here. Also, hilariously, I ve been granted an IMDB page for my film Testing the Undertow. Credits to all three of us who worked on it! I guess it means I ve arrived.
