In this video blog, I talk about my new drug, Prozac. I actually recorded the video a couple weeks ago, but everything’s still pretty relevant. This is the second video I’ve edited using Final Cut Pro 5. I’m starting to get the hang of the software, and i think you’ll see the results here.

Last week, the Hyper Nonsense website disappeared. Not sure for how long. Don’t think it was any longer than a day. But, somehow, the entire site had been deleted from the server. I didn’t do it. Jen didn’t do it. And we’re the only ones who have FTP access to the site. I checked with tech support at my web hosting company. But tech support didn’t have an explanation for the deletion. Tech support did restore the site rather quickly from the company’s backups, which was nice. Aside from one minor addition to the blogroll, the entire site returned just as it was. Regardless, this incident makes me wonder if the site could’ve been hacked. There’s been plenty of news lately about WordPress sites getting hacked. But those hack jobs were usually done by spammers. In this case, the site was simply nuked into non-existence. It’s always possible too that it was some random fluke caused by the server that made the site vanish. I’ll probably never know for sure. And considering how easy it was to get the site back to its former state, I’m not that worried about it happening again. I guess the lesson to be learned here is, MAKE BACKUPS. Or make sure someone is doing it for you!

Last Friday was Jen’s 35th birthday. To celebrate, we took the train up to Monterey, CA. We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, walked along the shoreline, did a little shopping and had some great food. Here’s a few photos from the trip:

We picked up a HUGE piece of Oreo cake at the great Rosine’s Restaurant in downtown Monterey, Took both of us a couple days to finish it off.

See the rest of the set here. We took more video than photos, so look for that in the future. We’ll also be discussing the trip in-depth during the next episode of Hyper Nonsense.
