  • video: the drive

    httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyPRLmsW26o

    i drove to williamsburg this past weekend.

    while i was somewhere in the vast wastelands between richmond and fredricksburg (my least favorite part of the trip) i started doing a little math to see out how many times i’ve covered the 180-odd miles in the last 15 years.

    172.

    that’s 21 round trips over my first three months after graduation in 1997 (where i commuted a three day a week internship from Williamsburg to DC) plus a round trip approximately every three months for the next 14 1/2 years.

    this inspired me to do a little stop-motion photography on the way back to share the love.

    okay, given how good she has gotten this obviously isn’t her first bike ride — but it’s the first one that involved mommy or daddy, and the first one we captured on camera.

  • video: ipad

    httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9TfkNHnvzo

    as a pre-emptive thank you gift, i bought the lady sparkler an ipad — mainly for the near-term pain she’s going to face with me switching from a 35 hour/wk job to one that’s more like 50 hours/wk.

    (she wants it to satisfy her horrible taste in tv/streaming video. the ipad is admittedly much more fun to watch on the couch than watching hulu plus on the computer at a desk.)

    turns out, we had the thing for a sum-total of 72 hours before sparklet learned how to turn it on, navigate to the main menu, load up the photo application, select a photo from the index, and start flipping through the pictures.

    i’m starting to wonder if we’ll ever see it again.
