Army Chopper Flyover

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 16 May 2008 22:12:51 -0400

Army helicopters and Air Force jets are constantly flying over the house. Ever since I can remember every time I hear one coming over I jump to my feet, rush to the window to look for it in the sky. I don’t know why. I guess they are fascinating. This video is of a large helicopter flying over with some of the best audio in the background.

December Harvest at Coffeez

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Mon, 12 May 2008 00:17:41 -0400

I got the opportunity last night to hangout with December Harvest, a local band. They performed at Coffeez in Jefferson City, TN. Also performing last night was Under A Black Flag We Sail, A Fate Painted Black and 13th Eyelet. It was a great night and I think December Harvest done a great job.

Jump, Jump, Jump

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 03 May 2008 17:25:10 -0400

I wanted to record a video podcast earlier today but didn’t have a whole lot of energy. I’ve been wanting to try out the trampoline ever since we got it in 2006. I finally decided to hop up on it today and give it a try. I figured if Divine could do it, so could I.

Morning Passes By

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 17 May 2008 01:21:02 -0400

Recorded this video a few weeks ago. It’s a 90 minute time lapse video of the sunrise compressed into a 1 minute 46 second video (with titles and closing credits of course).

Window Like

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 17 May 2008 01:22:28 -0400

I used my Logitech ClickSmart 510 digital camera/webcam to record the video onto the hard drive. The colors aren’t the best because the camera sucks. I recorded for over an hour while I washed the dishes and cooked supper.

Unwilting

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:36:21 -0400

I have to say that I am extremely proud of this video. I started recording footage yesterday afternoon around 3 PM and finished recording footage at around 11 PM. I had to empty the memory cards and restart several times, that’s why you see the shifts in the video. There is 6 hours and 46 minutes (approximately) of footage in this one 30 second video. There is another 12 hours of editing. I actually recorded for over 8 hours but like I said, I had to empty the memory cards, format them and restart several times.

Curtain

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:42:30 -0400

I purchased an AC adapter for my camera and it arrived yesterday. I have been wanting to create some really fun and interesting time lapse videos but I knew my batteries wouldn’t hold out long enough.

This video is of my bedroom curtains. One of my favorite things in my bedroom. I love how the light shines through them each morning and changes as the sun rises. I may try to record from the time I wake up until noon sometime to give a full effect.

The music in this video is suitable because this will truly be one of the things I miss when I move away from home.

The music is "Goodbye Sooner or Later" by oldDog.

Butterfly Feast

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:22:56 -0400

The past few days I have been going out during lunch or a little after lunch and taking some photos or some quick videos to post onto Flickr. I took this video of the butterfly yesterday and posted a version on Flickr. The version here has all of the footage I took of the butterfly. I think when I post videos to Flickr I am also going to make a version for Andy Not Andrew. That way there is a version you can download at much higher quality, although, the quality that comes out of my camera isn’t the best. Anyways, I digress. Here is the video. Enjoy.

Illumination

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:22:04 -0400

I was wanting to get out of the house and away from the computer this afternoon. I grabbed my camera and tripod and walked around the yard looking for something interesting to photograph. I really wasn’t having much luck finding anything to photograph because everything sort of looked dull or I felt I had over photographed it already. So, I switched to video mode and recorded this.

After recording it I speed it up a bit. I didn’t want to go the complete 1:30 so I just done 1:09. I wanted to show the field coming to life a little quicker.

From the position I took this video I waited for probably 10 minutes. The sun was behind the clouds and just before the sun came out I started recording.

The music in this video is Surveying Park Hill Prairie by Gurdonark.

Sermon on the Mount

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:48:00 -0400

In honor of it being so close to easter I decided to record "Sermon on the Mount" from the gospel according to St. Matthew which is on page 993 of your Holy Bible. This video is a little longer than some in the past but the Spirit of the Lord was within me for a couple of minutes. The power of the Lord is something amazing and wonderful which you shall too behold in your body if you believe.

Rapidly Changing Sky

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:54:15 -0400

This video is from March 18, 2008. I went up in the field and was taking some photos of the sunset. I finished taking the photos and took some video of the sun quickly going down. No, I didn’t get naked in this video, I just took my over shirt off! I got my copy of Sony Vegas the other day and I decided to take this video and enhance it and post it here. I also posted it to Flickr.

Windy Walk

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:01:21 -0500

Another walking video. I walked to my Grandparent’s house on Monday (3/3/2008) and took some photos and video. I walked a total of 1 hour 15 minutes that day. I talk about plans for a new office, how I’ve been exercising and not a whole lot else. I also put a clip of our cat and the neighbor’s cat playing. They’re all the time pestering each other.

Walking In The Snow

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 11:31:47 -0500

I started walking for exercise again last week. The first day I went walking I recorded a video. It was snowing, cold and very windy but I done it anyways. I recorded a video of the area I walked which was down to the pond below my house and up to the field above the house. Last week’s total walking time was 3.5 hours.

Creamed Honey

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:26:20 -0500

Got a package from a listener/viewer yesterday. Decided to make a video of me opening and tasting it! Didn’t do a whole lot of editing with this one. I can say though that the video was produced entirely with Linux (Cinelerra, Kino and VLC). Still got a lot to learn about Cinelerra so hopefully the next one will be better.

Need To Disconnect More

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 20:52:43 -0500

In this audio podcast I talk about my need to disconnect from the Internet more. I talk about why I think that is necessary. I also talk about some of the mundane things I did during the day. I talked about setting up Google Apps, Mailplane, other stuff that I can’t remember, etc! I wasn’t depressed in this one, just tired which is why my voice was low.

Waiting For Santa Claus

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 20:51:38 -0500

I recorded a podcast last night and when I went to pull the audio from the iRiver I realized I had another podcast recorded that I had not published yet. This one is from Christmas morning, very early around 1:20 AM or so. I walked up the road behind our house which leads into our field. I took some photos of the moon and complained about my dog Brownie barking every time I opened my mouth.

Gentleman From The Telephone Company

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:34:59 -0500

I was a little hyped up on some Lemon Zinger tea when I recorded this audio. I was waiting on the DSL repairman. It was out for almost a week in December. I’m kind of crazy in this one, could be classified as an Andrea Meltdown podcast. Hope you enjoy it!

Not About Me

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:33:45 -0500

This audio recording is quite simple and has a simple message. Simply put, everything is not about me. However, you can listen to the recording and find out further what I am talking about and what the context to that is.

Response To Christiaan

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:32:30 -0500

In one of Christiaan Huygen’s podcasts he asked what people thought of him bringing his son up in Church. I give my thoughts and feelings on that in this audio recording. I also talk about regaining your focus which I have already posted about which was posted after I recorded this audio.

Under The Stars

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:31:21 -0500

This is another audio recording recorded late at night. So if I sound a bit crazy or whatever, just assume that I’m tired and ready to go to bed. I talk about boring stuff so you can fast forward through it. You can fast forward through all of them for all I care. I just have to write stuff here so that the post sort of seems full, which it won’t, but I guess whatever. If I type a ton of stuff here then what would be the point in listening? So I will shut up. Listen or don’

More Boring Tech Crap

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:28:50 -0500

This is not a duplicate post, I promise you. It’s a continuation of Not Emo, Just Boring. For those who are not a fan of boring tech crap and people not really talking a lot while they unscrew screws then you’ll want to fast forward quite a bit through this one. However, if you’re into that sort of thing then you’re in for a treat because that’s pretty much all I do. However, there are a few surprises embedded into this recording but I’m not going to tell you where.

Late Night Ramblings

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:27:22 -0500

Another audio entry of me rambling late at night. If I sound depressed it was because it was late and I was tired.

Internets Back Up

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:26:11 -0500

An extremely short audio journal entry talking about finally getting the Internet back up and going after being without it for almost a week.

Fast Forward Me Please

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:24:47 -0500

A lot of people will probably think this audio recording is extremely boring. You might want to fast forward for about 22 minutes or so.

Coal For Christmas

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:23:27 -0500

For those of you who like hearing me in a short and sweet podcast then this is not the one for you. Over an hour of me talking. I talk about a birthday party. I also complain about a lot of stuff. I planned on editing a lot of stuff out of this audio recording but I never did now I don’t care. I took my camera out and took some photos which you can view on my Flickr account.

Another Blast From 2006

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:19:17 -0500

This is another audio recording from 2006. Dace from the “Dace In Your Face” blog and I chatted via Gizmo and recorded a podcast that never materialized. I thought it was enjoyable, glad I kept the audio. I hope Dace doesn’t mind me posting the audio, he can kill me later. At least he knew I was recording!

35 By 2020 Is Pathetic

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:13:40 -0500

The topic of this audio entry is the 35MPG standard that will take place in the year 2020. I give my opinion on this as a 22 year old.

Alone in the woods

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 03:46:13 -0500

I decided to go out and do some astrophotography tonight. It was really cold, the deer were making a lot of noises in the woods and I think there were some coyotes as well. I took the video in the field above my house.

Wakey, Wakey. Eggs & Pigs in Blankey

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 22:00:49 -0500

Oh Tootsie, don’t you cry! Here’s another entry from Andy’s iRiver recordings. In this audio recording Andy is just waking up and rambling on about nothing as usual as he finds something to eat and tries to wake up. Stay tuned to the end of this program to hear “Break Down” by Kokoon.

Freaky Deaky Baby

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 23:40:28 -0500

This is my very first podcast as a member of The Freak Network! In this audio recording I don’t really talk about anything exciting (as usual). I just walk around the house making lunch and talk about what happened during my Thanksgiving weekend.

Rot Your Teeth Pie

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 10:57:08 -0400

It's Halloween and you know what that means. Time for costumes and what else, candy! If you think you don't possibly have enough candy or the candy just isn't doing it for you and want something extra special then check out this pie! This pie has got miniature Reese cups, Hershey's chocolate and cheesecake all in one pie! It's a frozen treat that I am sure will please you and your guests. When Christmas comes around, dye it green instead of orange!

Hidden Sky

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 20:11:40 -0400

On Friday my Grandma and Grandpa came over and visited with us for a little while. I had been wanting to go out to my Mamaw Ruby’s to take some photos. I went home with them and walked back home. As I walked back home I went by the pond in my Mamaw Ruby’s field. I sat on the porch swing and recorded a video journal entry. I then walked up to the church and took a few pictures then walked on home.

Fountain of Life

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 23:09:47 -0400

If you’ll recall from “The Drive Home” we drove over a bridge with water underneath. A couple of weekends ago I went back down there and took some video and photos of the river. I’ve finally gotten a video put together from that Sunday drive down to the river. I added some background music and also some of the photos I took.

Through The Glass Darkly

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 23:14:18 -0400

In this audio journal entry I talk about a biblical passage from I Corinthians and read a couple of paragraphs about it’s meaning wrote by Deborah Cullins Smith. In this audio entry I also talk about artistic expression and ask whether an artist is suppose to criticize their work. Other topics are discussed as I work my way through the house doing cooking and washing. It’s about an hour long, I have some nice music and audio clips at the end for your enjoyment, so be sure to stick around for those.

Keeping Americans Passified

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:03:48 -0400

In this audio entry I talk about my Birthday from the previous week. I talk about getting out of the house over the weekend, having Chinese food and getting a new chair. I also talk about many of the things I noticed while I was out over the weekend. I also have a couple of songs and audio clips in this entry. Don’t worry, the longer songs are at the end so you don’t have to listen to them if you don’t want or have to fast forward through them.

Homemade Potato Soup

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 22:37:16 -0400

It’s getting that time of year when it’s cooling down outside and you want something warm to keep you warm! My sister gave me her recipe for potato soup. It’s a rich, thick soup. Very tasty. Something that you can eat on for days, too. Depending on how much you make! It’s a very simple recipe. The only hard part will be peeling the potatos. Sit back and let me show you how I made it.

Just Remember To Breathe

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 01:08:39 -0400

In this audio entry the topics of conversation I discuss with myself include but are not limited to: Going to a job interview, why are we so nervous?, Being a healthy consumer, remembering to breathe and take your time.

Patience Is A Virtue

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 21:46:24 -0400

I generally don’t do audio posts. I got requests from a few people wanting updates from me and I tried doing a video journal, twice, but it just wasn’t working out. So I instead turned to my iRiver and made an audio recording.

The Drive Home

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 02:18:52 -0400

Come along for a ride with me. The title for this video isn’t completely accurate. It’s not a complete drive home. I just take you to the Presbyterian Church in Lancing. Added some music. Hope you enjoy it.

Home Made Salsa

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 18:54:07 -0400

I know. It’s been a while since I have posted a video. I apologize for that. I have been very busy working on website projects. However, last week I did find the time to make a cooking video. I made home made salsa. I really love this salsa. It’s really easy to make and really delicious, in my opinion.

Broccoli Cornbread

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 10:12:50 -0400

In the last video I posted you saw some clips that I took at the Potter/Presswood family reunion. Someone brought some broccoli cornbread to the reunion and it was really, really good. I did not get the chance to get the recipe from anyone at the reunion but I found one online and thought I’d give it a shot.

Potter/Presswood Family Reunion 2007

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 21:56:12 -0400

Baked Dessert Squash

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 13:57:14 -0400

Sweet and Sour Chili

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 09:14:03 -0400

Sweet and Spicy Meatloaf

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 21:25:17 -0400

Gobstopper Break

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 01:02:18 -0400

Another raw video. I talk about what I’m eating (gob stoppers), the book I’m reading (The Men From The Boys), my meds and manufactured homes. It’s another raw video. Nothing fancy. Hope it’s of decent quality.

State of Atrophy

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 12:48:47 -0400

Crangeberry Tea

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Wed, 30 May 2007 14:42:29 -0400

Garlic Mushroom Tortellini

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Sun, 20 May 2007 14:46:09 -0400

Turkey Club Sandwich

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Fri, 04 May 2007 00:08:21 -0400

In this video I show you how I make a really, really good Turkey Club Sandwich. As I sat here and watched this video compress and transcode I wanted to run to the kitchen and make another one. However, I'm really trying not to! I'm on a diet afterall!

Deviled Eggs

andymelton@gmail.com (Andy Melton) — Thu, 03 May 2007 01:24:08 -0400

In this video I show you how I make my deviled eggs. My way is a little bit messy. I was in a bit of a hurry to get this video finished because people were about to walk in from work. It’s hard to record when other people are at home. Oh well. I hope you enjoy it.
