Instead of photos, this Friday I’m posting some short videos I made with my cellphone camera. These were all taken in downtown San Luis Obispo. They’re short, and the quality’s not the best. But I think they’re perfect for Flickr’s new video sharing service. Hope you enjoy them.

I haven’t been updating much because I’ve been dedicating most of my free time to Halo. I’m pretty sure I’m almost at the end of the game, so I should be adding more to this site soon. In the meantime, here’s a Monty Python/Halo mashup video that I didn’t make:

UPDATE: I finished the game about an hour after I posted this.
