The DC area can’t get a break this winter.  This is from the second blizzard of the season. This one dumped 20+ inches of snow.

This video was edited very basically using Pitivi Video Editor on Ubuntu and saved with an Ogg format with which I admit I am unfamiliar. I’m just excited I was able to edit it on Ubuntu.

Last year I had a one day trip to Miami that turned into an overnight trip. This was the morning flight back to DC. I’m not 100% sure why they took the bags off the plane as my own bags have been on flights without me. We missed our take off and had to wait for another place in line.

I didn’t edit this video for time because I wanted to viewer to be as annoyed as I was.

I’m moving some things around. It won’t be noticeable on the web but it might cause duplicates in the RSS feed. Don’t be alarmed!

In honor of National Karaoke Week, I present to you “Video Revenge”, which I made quite a while ago but never posted.

Phil is the BF’s brother in law.  He has seen this video and has given me permission to post it.

I stopped to grab something to eat while I was downtown and saw this group of people standing there at the intersection. I didn’t know what they were doing but it looked interesting.

I’m glad I captured a few snowflakes as well.

Remember when we thought 40 was old?  ShannonRenee shows us that it’s anything but old.  I want to be like her when I grow up – well, when I turn 40.

This was from a few months ago when it rained everyday.  I left the sound in to show how annoying it was sitting there.  I don’t remember how long it took to get home that day – the two lane road in this video is the back way so it must have taken a while.

Intel launched the site inspiredbyeducation.com to highlight what inspires as well as how to improve education.  Intel is asking regular folks to share their stories.  Check it out.  Hopefully the Intel site will influence a lot of folks to do something that will improve someone’s educational experience.

Here is my submission. As a plus, MentorNet, one of the programs that I am involved in, is actually featured on the Intel site.  I mention MentorNet and Coaching for College in my video.

Song Playa Amador by Duane Carter Band provided by Podsafe Music Network.

Disclaimer: This music is likely not Dominican but I thought it went well with the video.

We receive instruction on how to roll Dominican cigars.
