  Archer Taylor Reserve
  
  This hike took place on Saturday, February 19th, 2011in the hills west of the city of Napa. It was a wonderful adventure because of the snow, the cliffs, the waterfalls, the creeks and most of all, the company of friends. Who would've thought that such beautiful scenery could be seen on such short notice, not far from where we have lived for the past twenty years.

  My Question for Mick
  
  I went to the site "Shine a Light" to watch the trailer for the upcoming Rockumentary directed by Martin Scorcese about the Rolling Stones. When I visited the site I saw a button that offered to ask a question of the Stones by uploading a video of yourself. So I took the opportunity to ask Mick Jagger if he ever studies "Voodoo in Haiti". Watch this video and then watch Mick's answer. Tell me if you think he was a little flummoxed by the question.

  Fun with QT
  
  Quicktime Pro® and Photobooth® have a number of features that will allow you to tweak the videos you create... on the fly! I've used filters and distortion tools to add special effects that are easy and fun to use. Any kid with a web cam and some time on their hands can learn them fast and once they do, look out. It is a lot of fun to watch someone express their creative genius. Thankfully, we can also upload these quick flicks to sites like blip, blogger and you tube to showcase the many tale...

  Worlds of Flavor 07
  
  I am embarrassed by the fact that I did not get any pics or vids from the W.O.F. that were worth a crap. My camera lacks image stabilization and decent video capture capability.Truth be told, I was VERY busy and had to make myself available to the attendees of the conference so I had little or no time to take pictures. We had the top chefs from around Asia, who showcased thier recipes as many vendors provided the exotic and sublime ingredients that were prepared over the past couple of days. M...

  Comments Requested
  
  " If I build it, they will come." This what Kevin Costner heard before he built the baseball diamond out in a cornfied in the movie " Field of dreams." Well, I wish the same were true for this blog here. So far I have had a few family members drop in to see what is going on in my world. Mostly, it is just an online journal of my experiences and activites. Today though, my sister Ellen chimed in from Australia. She even left a comment... which is something that I forgot that people could do! Th...

  Only a test
  
  I would like to welcome Eric, Tara and my brother John to my Blogsite. This little journal was created about two years ago as a personal kvetching spot where I could post crap and blow off steam . Now it is easy to add video, audio and post pics as well. I am currently working at getting it to do special effects too. Today I plugged a in a dual port AV jack into my emac to create somewhat of an echo or radio voice. I bought it for three bucks at Radio Shack. Kinda cool, huh?

  Back at Barneys
  
  It is Tuesday evening and I am here at my apartment in Calistoga, having gotten back from my sanctuary next to the St. Helena Library. The neat thing about this little picnic area is that it is also a hot spot where one is able to access the internet for free after hours.I've decided that I want to become some kind of citizen journalist using state of the art technology. I mean, I have enough know-how that I could teach this to others and start my own company. You know, how to take quicktime m...

  Ana's Expose'
  
  Today was kind of rainy in the morning but soon cleared up a bit so that it was okay to keep the front door open with some fresh air coming into the building. My co- worker Ana, came through the Atrium to talk to me about her upcoming trip to Chile. Somehow the conversation came around to cameras and I was showing her the microphone that recorded voice when I took short Quicktime® movies. She and I both have Fuju FInepix® cameras. I think hers maybe something different than the # 3800 model th...
