Last year, I posted a YouTube video response to the infamous “Drama Prairie Dog” clip.

I recently launched a new YouTube channel, and took down all of my old YouTube videos. (Those videos are still available here.) I didn’t want “Drama Cockatiel” to disappear, though. So I cut a new version of the video using Final Cut Pro (still have a lot to learn about that program). In the new clip, I tried to address the most frequent comment I received about the original video: “Where’s the zoom-in at the end?”

Last week, me and Jen were guests on the Erkpod podcast. Click here to listen to the fun-filled 3.5 hour long extravaganza!

Erkpod is hosted by a bunch of guys from Australia, and they do a special “Round Table” episode once per month. They invited us to be their guests via Skype during the most recent Round Table. We had a lot of fun being on the show. Check it out if you’re looking for some audio entertainment.

Last month, I wrote a food review of local restaurant Louisa’s Place. About a month after posting the review, I received a comment from someone named Kay who must be in management at Louisa’s. In her comment, Kay thanked me for the positive review, and she also said that on my next visit to Louisa’s, I could receive 50% off my check. Nice!

I haven’t been back to Louisa’s yet to take Kay up on her offer, but I will get over there soon. Anyway, who says blogging doesn’t pay?

I woke up one morning to find our robot bunny, Vanya, stuck in this odd circular motion.

Every now and then, you’ve gotta have a “meta fest,” right? Where would blogging be without them? It occurred to me this morning that this site hadn’t been updated at all during the month of May. That’s pathetic. I’ve had plenty of ideas for entries. I just haven’t bothered to take the time to commit them to text/video/audio/whatever. You’ll note that I didn’t say that I didn’t have the time. I just didn’t bother to take the time. Time that I should’ve been dedicating to posting things to this site was used instead for… who knows what. Halo 2? Obsessive RSS feed catching-up? Obsessive tinkering with the “new” G4? Had I bothered to blog about some of these things in time, you’d have an answer, and I wouldn’t have to pose the question. But I’m not very good at balancing things in my life. Not yet, anyway. I’ve been spending a lot of energy lately trying to better focus msyelf towards achieving some kind of balance. It’s not easy. My nature is to focus on one or two things at a time and then push everything else aside. And it’s not healthy. I could do a lot to work towards that balance by keeping up with this site. Maybe not daily updates. But at least a few a week. Even if it is just a simple photo blog or a food review. It’ll help balance out the things I’m taking in. And I should be doing it, anyway.

I’d actually really like to just stay up all night and work on a bunch of half-finished projects. But going through the rest of my day half-awake won’t do much to help me find a sense of balance. Anyway, I guess what I’m saying is, the original tag line for this site was “content = life.” It’s time to get back to that.
