Ad Infinitum
I think this video is very Escher-esce. I got this idea on Wednesday when I was on Skype. I kept pointing the camera at the screen. After that I went to Seesmic to record my first video and I ended up again pointing the camera at the screen and as I moved the camera around I noticed some cool shapes. That Seesmic video was never recorded.
This video was done with an EyeToy camera for PlayStation 2. Incidentally, Windows Movie Maker is the only video editing software that recognized the camera so I used that to record this.

Tow-tally Screwed
Last Sunday, the check engine light came on and the car started running a bit funky. I made it home. On Monday, I took the bus to the Metro station. I came home and started the car to see if the light was still on – it was, of course. Tuesday and Wednesday I caught the bus as well. On Thursday, I decided to take the car in for repairs before work. I started the car – it started but would cut off right after. I went to the bus stop but it seemed that I had already missed the bus so I called a cab to take me to the Metro station. On Friday, I came out a few minutes before 9 to catch the bus, I stood at the bus stop until 9:15 and the bus hadn’t come. “I’ve missed the bus again”, I thought as the bus is supposed to come around 9ish. I take a video and a few photos of birds on the snowy bushes and head back home. Then I hear the bus. I try to hurry back to the bus stop, waving my arms to get the drivers attention. It didn’t work although some of the passengers must have thought I was crazy – another cab to the Metro.
I started the car on Friday evening and it wouldn’t turn over at all. So Saturday, I called AAA to tow my car to get fixed. I know that I’m screwed because arriving on a tow truck translates into “cha ching” for the mechanics. I find out today what needs to be done.
