  • Funky Weather

    I don’t know if it’s Global Warming or El Niño, but 2 weeks ago in the Baltimore-DC area it was 70 degrees and outside in a tank top in January. This week, in fact, yesterday or so, it’s snowing in Dallas, Texas! I’m hearing this has ruined orange, lemon, and avocado crops. What the heck…

  • The Aida Interview Final Video

    Here it finally is: Aida’s Life: The Interview on Vimeo

  • A different interview

    My brother Daniel and I worked together on this video, an assignment for one of his classes at school. It’s a wonderful thing to have now that I’m so into genealogy. I also thought it was a very neat historical document because we interviewed people who experienced the revolution first-hand. This is not the interview…

  • The Aida Interview

    That tape I was waiting to rewind was an interview I did with my grandmother. She was only 3-4 months from dying. It’s freakin’ surreal! I knew I had this tape, but I couldn’t find it for the past 3 years! I had wanted to do this for years – video tape an interview with…

  • Impatience

    I’m waiting for a video to rewind which is the last time my grandmother Aida was on tape. This is the longest rewind EVER!

  • Raul Domingo’s Apartment

    from my vimeo page: The cartoon I’m going to be making featuring the budgie you’ve been seeing will take place in this apartment living room. There seem to be two flaws. 1) The camera seems to move in a strange, unanticipated way in the beginnig 2) I need to fix the lighting situation. I had…

  • Work on my budgie short proceeds

    The short will take place in an apartment living room so I’m taking a little bit of a break with the budgie to work on the living room. (This is, in many ways, a lot easier than the bird, so it’s a welcome change) Finished my first ever couch today. I’m pretty happy with how…

  • Taking a break from Photography

    I’ve got a ton of projects going right now, so I’m taking a break from photography until I get a bit more free time. I began to realize that when I was just taking a picture right before going to bed of just about anything, just to fulfill my picture of the day, I was…

  • Democracy Player…post 1

    Democracy player is an interesting new type of video software which allows the user to subscribe to video feeds and have them automatically downloaded. One way to think of it is like a TiVo for internet videos. I’ll post some more after I get some experience with it, but if you want to go ahead…

  • Flock – A New Type of Browser

    I’m writing this from flock, a new web browser which comes with a lot of built-in utitlities for the most popular web technologies including flickr and blogging. I’m writing this post from within flock’s blog utility. I’m not sure yet if this is a worthy feature or just a gimmick. I intend to try flock…

  • Almost done!

    The budgie is almost complete. Here I am testing all of the bones. I just have a few things left to fix up with the bones. Then I need to fix the tapering of the wings. After that I just have a few little things like making the bird blink. Then I’ll be about 80%…

  • Budgie Toes complete

    Finally got to do some more work on the budgie today after having taken about 4-5 days off to do other stuff like photography and be with my wife. Finished rigging up all 6 toes on the bird. All I have left in the rigging is to do his legs and creating a tracking bone…
