Swan Chicks and Tower Ravens
It is taking me an embarassingly long time to get my travel log entry for London up, but it is almost done. In the meantime, please enjoy these videos of cygnets preening in Hyde Park and the resident ravens of The Tower of London:
Owning the Clouds – Apology, Withdrawal
Followup to Owning The Clouds and the update: I got an email from Sarah Bernard of 23/6, apologizing for the inadvertent pulling of my video due to Google/YouTube’s content identification. I forgive you, 23/6! Dear Paulo, I’m Sarah Bernard, President of 23/6. Please know that we certainly did not intend for our posting the video, [...]
Owning the Clouds – Update
Update: An apology from 23/6, inaction from Google. Update: Good news! I have uploaded my cloud time lapses to Vimeo. To emphasize the authenticity of the footage, I have uploaded the uncut version, with camera jostles and stretches of relatively empty sky that were edited out of the version more popularly distributed as various parodies [...]
Owning the Clouds
Update: Please see “Owning the Clouds – Update.” So, is the movie at right loading yet? Every moment that it does not load when the play button is clicked, and every moment that this returns an “unavailable” error page is another moment of Google Video denying me ownership of my own work. Some of you [...]
Pope Passes Penn Ave
Birthday Boy Benedict XVI is in town, on the first papal visit to the United States Washington, DC since John Paul II came in 1979. Barricades lined Pennsylvania Ave in Foggy Bottom this morning, where the Popemobile would pass after a welcome at the White House: Myself, I haven’t seen a Pope since the last [...]
Flickr Video
First Flickr video, shot with the 6120c: I got first wind of Flickr’s impending launch of video from TechCrunch’s Twitter stream and puppet show announcement (followed by more puppet buzz from Flickr themselves). Matt confirmed to me that he had indeed been in on the private beta, shortly before Flickr announced it officially. When I [...]
Clouds, Anonymous, Nader
Back in my old apartment I would often leave my webcam on the window ledge, pointed up at the sky to record passing clouds as timelapse sequences, the best of which I compiled into a single video: I uploaded the video to Google, left it open to saving and embedding for anyone who might want [...]
Fifty Ways
Part of US News’ Fifty Ways to Improve your Life in 2008 year-ender feature was an informal video of assorted US News staff giving the fifty tips (video viewable at the upper right of the “50 Ways” page). I make an appearance at around 3m 20s, telling you to smell the roses, because smelling roses [...]
Space Get – a small change
The three or four of you who follow Space Get may have noticed a little change in the weblog description: it now just says “Spaceflight video sticky-ball,” omitting mention of “images and other media.” The reason: easy embed fields on YouTube and Google Video. When I want to post an image (usually NASA public domain [...]
SpaceGet
New personal project up: Space Get! Sputnik 1′s 50th anniversary seemed like a good day to announce this: Space Get, “a sticky ball for spaceflight images, videos, and other space media.” I often entertain my inner frustrated astronaut by seeking out popular and obscure historical rocket launch and spaceflight media from the heyday of the [...]
