Videorama

So, after having a near-death experience over my sideways videos yesterday, I took a deep breath and walked slowly over to the mini Mac (the little box that I never touch). I have an irrational fear of Macs, they scare me with their "user friendly" logic. Also, even though I loathe Windows Vista and curse my laptop daily, I'm pretty sure if I ever saw Justin Long in person I'd deck him right on the spot. (Loved him in Ed, but can't stand him in my face smugly touting a product -- no lifestyle -- that I just can't seem to master.)

Anyway, I tend to shy away from Jesse's computer, even though technically it's our computer, just because it makes me feel stupid. However, my insane need to rotate these damn videos led me to the iMovie application. It seriously took me 15 minutes just to figure out where the computer applications were hiding (everything is neatly tucked away in places that I can't ever seem to find). But I found it and tinkered for a while. The results are very crude, but my precious videos have been rotated and edited down to the essential parts. The Dancing Gallagher video lighting has been adjusted so you totally can't see the lead singer anymore, but the Crazy Man's air drums ring in crystal clear. Check it out here.

Hold on to your hats! Here's the promised Marble Run from Christmas in Santa Cruz, complete with Tai (the holiday party paparazzi) demanding a photo op:
