Some cockatiels are more vocal than others. We have (at least) two birds who sing regularly. Here, Pepper expresses his appreciation of the day with a nice song. It’s fun to watch him sing because sometimes it looks like the notes are really being pulled out of him by some external will.
(Another cockatiel, her name is Poke, does some video bombing towards the end.)

Yesterday, my sister held a luau-themed get together. Partially for fun and partially to celebrate her 10th wedding anniversary.

I added some wheels to my new Line 6 Spider IV guitar amplifier. Now, it’ll be much easier to move the amp around. I ordered the casters (wheels)
The amplifier on its side, with the new wheels resting on top.
I had to eventually turn the amplifier over completely, in order to get the wheels attached.
Fast forward to the last wheel.
A short video of the amp being moved about on its new wheels.

On Friday, Jen and I bused up to the North County for the 2010 California Mid State Fair. We mostly walked around and looked at the different exhibits that were on display.
These bears greet you at the main entrance to the fairgrounds.
The first building we walked through was a craft building that included handmade stuff as well as baked goods. I think this cake is pretty cool.

This one is pretty cool, too.

Last night, while I was playing World of Warcraft, I wanted something to listen to other than the game’s built-in music. I was pretty much caught up on podcasts, and just wasn’t all that interested in anything else in my iTunes music library. I clicked over to the Radio tab in iTunes, opened the Hard Rock/Metal directory and clicked on Big R Radio 80′s Metal FM. I’ve been a fan of this type of music since I was a kid. I don’t hear ir that often these days, so it was nice to get a refresher course via this Internet stream. I was able to identify pretty much every artist straight away. A couple dozen songs went by before 80′s Metal FM stumped me (was never much of a Kingdome Come fan, anyway). It’s likely that, if a band’s video aired on “Headbangers Ball” between 1988 and 1993, I owned that band’s album(s). While listening to 80′s Metal FM last night, three tracks really jumped out at me.

Last night, a traveling group of Swedish-style dancers from Kansas put on a presentation here in San Luis Obispo at Mitchell Park. Jen and I headed downtown to check it out. Here are some pictures and videos.

The middle of California is a transitory place. A lot of stuff and people pass through/over San Luis Obispo. Just the other day, we saw a formation of military helicopters flying over the city, on its way to somewhere north of here. Earlier this week, while sitting at her desk, Jen heard an unusual sound coming through the window. She looked outside and saw a blimp, cruising southbound through the sky. She grabbed the camera and took these photos.
Some searching reveals that the slogan seen on the blimp’s side is being used in advertising for MetLife. Jen also recorded this short video.
I’m glad she did because, as you can hear in the video, I couldn’t even see the blimp.

Found out today that there’s something called VEDA, which stands for Vlog Every Dav in April. I don’t think I’ll be participating in VEDA. But I did produce a YouTube video response to these two VEDA videos:

Here’s an iPad parody video that Jen and I made. She did the voiceover and created the actual “yPad.” I took care of the video work. We collaborated on the backing music. This video has been posted to my new YouTube account. If you have a YouTube account, and you’ve enjoyed this video, please click over and subscribe.
