Odin The Tall

A condensed video of my bike ride. The heat was high, the pollen was dense, and the vultures were circling above the bike.

As Obi Wan taught us in Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, as long as you stand above your opponent - occupy the high ground - you will ALWAYS WIN. It is undefeatable. The other fellow doesn't stand a chance. As long as you have the high ground, your opponent might as well just kiss his ass goodbye. Our parakeet Caesar uses this strategy to his advantage. The cabinets are his high ground.

I took the minicam on a bike ride yesterday and it turned out pretty well. For an inexpensive little camera, the video is surprisingly vivid and fluid. This video starts out with a quick intro to the camera, then follows with about 5 minutes of excerpts from my ride through the neighborhood. It started raining while I was riding, but even after a strong downpour, the little camera worked perfectly fine. A savage dog in hunting mode makes a startling appearance at the end of the video.

This is commentary on the video of a drone flight a friend and I recently made. It documents the mysterious large hole in the ground revealed by the drone's camera, that we had no idea was there due to our vantage point at low elevation. Its existence only became known upon viewing the drone's video at home (The Syma X5C's camera is not a live-feed). Add this to the growing list of strange things such as clowns in corn fields, hermits peaking out of the woods, and many other strange features documented by amateur drone flights.

Our parakeet Caesar has learned how to rap...with a little help from some voice-over.

Upon watching an old documentary on crop circles from the early 90's-ish, I was surprised at the amount of baseless conjecturing going on.

Motorcycle serious fails in movies.

Now I been hiking in the Appalachians for years and let me tell you something - I have seen some pretty strange things out there and seen signs and clues of even stranger things. Nobody can come closer to proving there's monsters in the mountains than Mountain Monster's AIMS team in their quest to prove the existence of Bigfoot in the Appalachians. Jeff ran into some damn queer frightening thing in the mountains of West Virginia and lucky his thermo-cam picked up the terrifying creature. Also check out my book...

This drone flight from May was filmed with both the drone cam and a head cam - a minicam attached to my bandana, to get footage of the drone as well as its point of view.

On my return trip from the Edge of Shiremanstown, I encountered a number of beasts prowling the neighborhood. At dusk, things get darker.

Bike ride through Mechanicsburg to the edge of Shiremanstown. The trip took about 15 minutes, but I sped up the video 3x with no cuts, so it's the whole ride but only 5 minutes long here (plus dramatic intro). There's a neat little shortcut near the end where only pedestrians and cyclists can cross over to Shiremanstown.

This is my video on the character Pee Wee Herman from the 1985 film, Pee Wee's Big Adventure. I examine the depth of character of Pee Wee, demonstrating that he has more than just good humor and a wacky laugh.

This is, in my opinion, the funniest scene ever on Modern Family. It is an excerpt from Season 3, Episode 3, "Phil on a Wire". Mitch's and Cam's crash diet leads to some extreme reactions.

Footage by both drone cam and head cam of my drone flight yesterday. Lots of swoops and strafes.

Captain Kirk Sings! Never before seen footage from the original Star Trek series!

I analyze the old notion that guys wearing red shirts on the original Star Trek series always seem to die. In this episode, "The Apple", more red shirts than usual bite the dust.

Too many groundhogs are being slaughtered on our streets and roads. We care about deer enough to put up road signs for their safety when crossing, why not for groundhogs? They deserve our love and respect and the comfort of knowing that they too can cross the street safely.
