Memorial Day – USA

I wanted to take this opportunity to pay respect to our men and women in uniform. It’s a tough job and I respect them for doing it. May those who have died fighting for the freedoms that we enjoy, may they Rest in Peace. May the families and friends they’ve left behind find peace in [...]

Sights and sounds: A tuk-tuk ride in Chiang Mai (เชียงใหม่)

You’ve heard the good and bad about riding in tuk-tuks. In fact, I generally avoid them when in Bangkok. It’s hard to find a decent one that’s not out to divert you to a tourist trap in exchange for a head hunter fee. They do it for the commission. Don’t feel like you’re doing them [...]

Moo cards, neat!

I just received an order of Moo cards. The business card sized sampler was a “freebie” by Moo & YouTube and the out of pocket total was about six dollars for shipping. Ordering was easy, using the website simple, and the delivery of the cards fast. What is really neat about the Moo Cards is [...]

When the coast is shrouded in fog and mist, you may feel an air of mystery and intrigue. Devil’s Slide is a great sample [...]

Destinations: The stuff dreams are made of: In the Footsteps of Marco Polo

Last night I found myself watching a documentary. It was strange because I rarely watch documentaries. Yet, I was glued to the PBS, watching two regular guys from New York trek across Europe and Asia following the footsteps of Marco Polo. The story and the video were completely engrossing. Denis Belliveau and Francis O’Donnell took [...]

Thai Ice Coffee

I’d been searching for Oliang in the San Francisco Bay Area for a while and although I hadn’t been to Clement St. in San Francisco yet, I had checked most of my regular route down here in the Peninsula. I searched online for “Where to buy Oliang in San Francisco” and also “Where to buy [...]

Gear: Improving video narration with the Audio Technica ATR3500 Lavalier Microphone

One of the frequent problems with narrating a video where the camcorder is more than a few feet away is that the microphone is either not picking up enough narrator or picking up too much ambient sound. That makes it very hard for the viewer to understand what you’re trying to say, as seen in [...]
